aarch64: Add -mtune=neoverse-512tvb
This patch adds an option to tune for Neoverse cores that have
a total vector bandwidth of 512 bits (4x128 for Advanced SIMD
and a vector-length-dependent equivalent for SVE). This is intended
to be a compromise between tuning aggressively for a single core like
Neoverse V1 (which can be too narrow) and tuning for AArch64 cores
in general (which can be too wide).
-mcpu=neoverse-512tvb is equivalent to -mcpu=neoverse-v1
-mtune=neoverse-512tvb.
gcc/
* doc/invoke.texi: Document -mtune=neoverse-512tvb and
-mcpu=neoverse-512tvb.
* config/aarch64/aarch64-cores.def (neoverse-512tvb): New entry.
* config/aarch64/aarch64-tune.md: Regenerate.
(cherry picked from commit 048039c49b96875144f67e7789fdea54abf7710b)
