[PATCH][AArch64] Add branch-cost to cpu tuning information.


The AArch64 backend sets BRANCH_COST to be the constant value 2 for all cpus,
meaning that the compiler thinks that branches cost the same across all cpus.

This patch reworks the handling of branch costs to allow per-cpu values to be
set. The actual value of the branch-costs is unchanged as the correct values for
will need to be decided for each core.

Tested aarch64-none-linux-gnu with gcc-check.

Ok for trunk?
