[build] Disable hwcaps on libgfortran


The AVX-specific matmul patch for libgfortran broke Solaris/x86 testing
with /bin/as pretty badly: every single execution test involving
libgfortran.so now FAILs like

ld.so.1: alloc_comp_1.exe: fatal: /var/gcc/regression/trunk/10-gcc/build/i386-pc-solaris2.10/./libgfortran/.libs/libgfortran.so.4: hardware capability (CA_SUNW_HW_2) unsupported: 0x40  [ AVX2 ]
FAIL: gfortran.dg/coarray/alloc_comp_1.f90 -fcoarray=single  -O2  -latomic execution test

This happens because libgfortran.so now requires AVX and AVX2 support
from the executing system:

ro@zebrano 14 > elfdump -H libgfortran.so 

Capabilities Section:  .SUNW_cap

 Object Capabilities:
     index  tag               value
       [0]  CA_SUNW_HW_2     0x40  [ AVX2 ]
       [1]  CA_SUNW_HW_1     0x20001800  [ AVX SSE2 SSE ]

Since the relevant code is guarded by runtime test, this needs to be
disabled.  Fortunately, a similar problem has already been solved in
libitm and this patch just generalizes the solution:

* The autoconf macro checking for the -mclear-hwcaps compiler option
  (only available on Solaris at this time) is moved to a new
  config/hwcaps.m4, appropriately renamed.

* It's invoked in libgfortran.ac and the result added to the
  libgfortran.la LDFLAGS.

The patch below implements that.  It has been bootstrapped successfully
on i386-pc-solaris2.10 with both as/ld (where -mclear-hwcaps is present
and needed to avoid all those failures) and gas/gld (where
-mclear-hwcaps is present, but a no-op), and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (where
the flag doesn't exist).  Testresults are back to normal for the first
configuration and unchanged for the other two.

Ok for mainline?
