[PATCH v2] libc: arm: Implement setjmp GCC backwards compatibility.

["Victor L. Do Nascimento" <victor.donascimento@arm.com>]

When compiling Newlib for arm targets with GCC 12.1 onward, the
passing of architecture extension information to the assembler is
automatic, making the use of .fpu and .arch_extension directives
in assembly files redundant.

With older versions of GCC, however, these directives must be
hard-coded into the `arm/setjmp.S' file to allow the assembly of
instructions concerning the storage and subsequent reloading of the
floating point registers to/from the jump buffer, respectively.

This patch conditionally adds the `.fpu vfpxd' and `.arch_extension
mve' directives based on compile-time preprocessor macros concerning
GCC version and target architectural features, such that both the
assembly and linking of setjmp.S succeeds for older versions of
Newlib.
