tunables, aarch64: New tunable to override cpu

Add a new tunable (glibc.tune.cpu) to override CPU identification on
aarch64.  This is useful in two cases: one where it is desirable to
pretend to be another CPU for purposes of testing or because routines
written for that CPU are beneficial for specific workloads and second
where the underlying kernel does not support emulation of MRS to get
the MIDR of the CPU.

	* elf/dl-tunables.h (tunable_is_name): Move from...
	* elf/dl-tunables.c (is_name): ... here.
	(parse_tunables, __tunables_init): Adjust.
	* manual/tunables.texi: Document glibc.tune.cpu.
	* sysdeps/aarch64/dl-tunables.list: New file.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/cpu-features.c (struct
	cpu_list): New type.
	(cpu_list): New list of CPU names and their MIDR.
	(get_midr_from_mcpu): New function.
	(init_cpu_features): Override MIDR if necessary.
