x86: Set minimum x86-64 level marker [BZ #27318]

Since the full ISA set used in an ELF binary is unknown to compiler,
an x86-64 ISA level marker indicates the minimum, not maximum, ISA set
required to run such an ELF binary.  We never guarantee a library with
an x86-64 ISA level v3 marker doesn't contain other ISAs beyond x86-64
ISA level v3, like AVX VNNI.  We check the x86-64 ISA level marker for
the minimum ISA set.  Since -march=sandybridge enables only some ISAs
in x86-64 ISA level v3, we should set the needed ISA marker to v2.
Otherwise, libc is compiled with -march=sandybridge will fail to run on
Sandy Bridge:

$ ./elf/ld.so ./libc.so
./libc.so: (p) CPU ISA level is lower than required: needed: 7; got: 3

Set the minimum, instead of maximum, x86-64 ISA level marker should have
no impact on the glibc-hwcaps directory assignment logic in ldconfig nor
ld.so.
