aarch64: Improve naming conventions for A and R-profile architecture

Historically, flags and variables relating to architectural revisions
for the A-profile architecture omitted the trailing `A' such that, for
example, assembling for `-march=armv8.4-a' set the `AARCH64_ARCH_V8_4'
flag in the assembler.

This leads to some ambiguity, since Binutils also targets the
R-profile Arm architecture.  Therefore, it seems prudent to have
everything associated with the A-profile cores end in `A' and likewise
`R' for the R-profile.  Referring back to the example above, the flag
set for `-march=armv8.4-a' is better characterized if labeled
`AARCH64_ARCH_V8_4A'.

The only exception to the rule of appending `A' to variables is found
in the handling of the `AARCH64_FEATURE_V8' macro, as it is the
baseline from which ALL processors derive and should therefore be left
unchanged.

In reflecting the `ARM' architectural nomenclature choices, where we
have `ARM_ARCH_V8A' and `ARM_ARCH_V8R', the choice is made to not have
an underscore separating the numerical revision number and the
A/R-profile indicator suffix.  This has meant that renaming of
R-profile related flags and variables was warranted, thus going from
`.*_[vV]8_[rR]' to `.*_[vV]8[rR]'.

Finally, this is more in line with conventions within GCC and adds consistency
across the toolchain.
