[Patch AArch64] Delete ASM_OUTPUT_DEF and fallback to default .set directive

Hi,

As in the ARM port [1] , the AArch64 port wants to put out "b = a" to set
an alias. This doesn't cause us any trouble yet, as the AArch64 port doesn't
warn for this construct - but at the same time there is no reason for us
not to put out a .set directive - this seems to have been copied from the
ARM port when section anchor support was added in 2012. Looking through
the chain, we'll get a default definition for ASM_OUTPUT_DEF if SET_ASM_OP
is defined, and we get SET_ASM_OP defined through config/elfos.h for
all the AArch64 targets I can see in config.gcc. So we're safe to drop
this.

Bootstrapped on aarch64-none-linux-gnu.

OK?

Thanks,
James
