glibc: Fix SVE detection on aarch64

glibc-2.28 complains:

  configure: error: use a compatible toolchain or configure with --disable-mathvec (this results in incomplete ABI).

Apparently this is a problem in the way GCC passes the -mcpu and -march
values to the assembler. As a workaround have the configure check pass
-mcpu as well to override anything we're passing in the environment.

Patch and explanation taken from the Yocto project with thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] aarch64/configure: Pass -mcpu along with -march to detect sve
support
SVE support logic in configure is rightly passing -march=<arch>+sve to
compiler to override whatever user might have passed via environment,
however GCC does not do as intended when -mcpu is part of environment
compiler flags, then it overrides the -march computed from -mcpu and
igonores other -march values so this test fails for lot of aarch64
machines which pass -mcpu that does not support sve. This is seemingly a
bug in GCC [1], until that is fixed we preempt -mcpu along with -march
in the configure test itself. It does not change functionality and yet
lets us through the GCC inconsistency.
