[AArch64] Fix behaviour of -mcpu option to match ARM.


Hi,

While clarifying the documentation of the -mcpu, -march and -mtune
options for AArch64 and ARM I spotted that their behaviour is not
consistent.

This patch fixes that in the AArch64 port.

Now, -mcpu=$CPU is treated as a shorthand for -march=arch_of_$CPU and
 -mtune=$CPU. -march and -mtune therefore override only their respective
components of -mcpu. If the architecture picked by -march does not match
that given by -mcpu, a warning is given.

Regression tested on aarch64-none-elf and checked manually to
ensure things are working as expected.

OK?

Thanks,
James
