[PATCH] aarch64: Enable +cssc for armv8.9-a

[Andrew Carlotti]

FEAT_CSSC is mandatory in the architecture from Armv8.9.

---

OK for master and backport to 2.42 branch?

The Arm ARM says that CSSC is only mandatory if AdvSIMD is present.  So I think we need a test that this is
removed if we have -march=armv8.9-a+nosimd.

FEAT_CSSC does not depend upon FEAT_AdvSIMD, so `+cssc` does not enable
`+simd`, and conversely `+nosimd` does not disable `+cssc`.

Our `-march=armv8.x` flags are based upon which features are mandatory in an
Armv8.x system with FEAT_AdvSIMD present, but are subsequently treated as
equivalent to having specified these features as a set of independent feature
flags.  `+nosimd` will disable anything that explicitly depends on
FEAT_AdvSIMD, but does not disable any additional features that were included
in the base architecture, even if they were only included in the base
architecture as a consquence of the assumed presence of FEAT_AdvSIMD.

Incidentally, our `march=armv9.y` flags are similarly based upon which features
are mandatory in an Armv9.y system with FEAT_SVE2 present.
