Package architecture aarch64_generic [1] can be used just with three
devices. One is NanoPI R2S and then there are two development boards
from NXP. Let's change armvirt/64 to Cortex A53 (aarch64_cortex-a53)
[2]. It has wider support by multiple devices like NanoPI Neo Plus2/Core2,
ESPRESSObin, Pine64, and Raspberry Pi 2&3.
While looking at ARMvirt/32 it has set CPU_TYPE and CPU_SUBTYPE to be
arm_cortex-a15_neon-vfpv4 [3]. It has support to devices like
Linksys EA8500 v1, Linksys EA7500 v1, Netgear D7800, Netgear R7500 and so on.
Tested with:
qemu-system-aarch64 -m 1024 -smp 2 -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt -nographic \
-kernel openwrt-armvirt-64-Image-initramfs
Successfully compiled and booted.

Original armvirt target is now subtarget 32. Other than that the built
result should remain the same as before
Besides old features already available with arm64, the new armvirt/64
subtarget will also have those features originally enabled for
armvirt/32 with commit 44ecfc2 ("armvirt: new target")
