  This series adds support for function multiversioning on aarch64.  There are a
few minor issues in patch 2/3, that I intend to fix in future versions or
follow-up patches.  I also have some open questions about the correctness of
existing function multiversioning implementations [1], that could affect some
details of this patch series.

Patches 1/3 and 2/3 both pass regression testing on x86.  Patch 2/3 requires
adding function multiversioning tests to aarch64, which I haven't included yet.
Patch 3/3 demonstrates a potential approach for improving consistency of symbol
naming between target_clones and target/target_version multiversioning, but
would require agreement on how to resolve some of the issues discussed in [1].

Thanks,
Andrew
