c++: implement C++17 hardware interference size

The last missing piece of the C++17 standard library is the hardware
intereference size constants.  Much of the delay in implementing these has
been due to uncertainty about what the right values are, and even whether
there is a single constant value that is suitable; the destructive
interference size is intended to be used in structure layout, so program
ABIs will depend on it.

In principle, both of these values should be the same as the target's L1
cache line size.  When compiling for a generic target that is intended to
support a range of target CPUs with different cache line sizes, the
constructive size should probably be the minimum size, and the destructive
size the maximum, unless you are constrained by ABI compatibility with
previous code.

From discussion on gcc-patches, I've come to the conclusion that the
solution to the difficulty of choosing stable values is to give up on it,
and instead encourage only uses where ABI stability is unimportant: in
particular, uses where the ABI is shared at most between translation units
built at the same time with the same flags.

To that end, I've added a warning for any use of the constant value of
std::hardware_destructive_interference_size in a header or module export.
Appropriate uses within a project can disable the warning.

A previous iteration of this patch included an -finterference-tune flag to
make the value vary with -mtune; this iteration makes that the default
behavior, which should be appropriate for all reasonable uses of the
variable.  The previous default of "stable-ish" seems to me likely to have
been more of an attractive nuisance; since we can't promise actual
stability, we should instead make proper uses more convenient.

JF Bastien's implementation proposal is summarized at
https://github.com/itanium-cxx-abi/cxx-abi/issues/74

I implement this by adding new --params for the two sizes.  Targets can
override these values in targetm.target_option.override() to support a range
of values for the generic target; otherwise, both will default to the L1
cache line size.

64 bytes still seems correct for all x86.

I'm not sure why he proposed 64/64 for generic 32-bit ARM, since the Cortex
A9 has a 32-byte cache line, so I'd think 32/64 would make more sense.

He proposed 64/128 for generic AArch64, but since the A64FX now has a 256B
cache line, I've changed that to 64/256.

Other arch maintainers are invited to set ranges for their generic targets
if that seems better than using the default cache line size for both values.

With the above choice to reject stability as a goal, getting these values
"right" is now just a matter of what we want the default optimization to be,
and we can feel free to adjust them as CPUs with different cache lines
become more and less common.

@item -Winterference-size
@opindex Winterference-size
Warn about use of C++17 @code{std::hardware_destructive_interference_size}
without specifying its value with @option{--param destructive-interference-size}.
Also warn about questionable values for that option.
This variable is intended to be used for controlling class layout, to
avoid false sharing in concurrent code:
@smallexample
struct independent_fields @{
alignas(std::hardware_destructive_interference_size) std::atomic<int> one;
alignas(std::hardware_destructive_interference_size) std::atomic<int> two;
@};
@end smallexample
Here @samp{one} and @samp{two} are intended to be far enough apart
that stores to one won't require accesses to the other to reload the
cache line.
By default, @option{--param destructive-interference-size} and
@option{--param constructive-interference-size} are set based on the
current @option{-mtune} option, typically to the L1 cache line size
for the particular target CPU, sometimes to a range if tuning for a
generic target. So all translation units that depend on ABI
compatibility for the use of these variables must be compiled with
the same @option{-mtune} (or @option{-mcpu}).
If ABI stability is important, such as if the use is in a header for a
library, you should probably not use the hardware interference size
variables at all. Alternatively, you can force a particular value
with @option{--param}.
If you are confident that your use of the variable does not affect ABI
outside a single build of your project, you can turn off the warning
with @option{-Wno-interference-size}.

@item destructive-interference-size
@item constructive-interference-size
The values for the C++17 variables
@code{std::hardware_destructive_interference_size} and
@code{std::hardware_constructive_interference_size}. The destructive
interference size is the minimum recommended offset between two
independent concurrently-accessed objects; the constructive
interference size is the maximum recommended size of contiguous memory
accessed together. Typically both will be the size of an L1 cache
line for the target, in bytes. For a generic target covering a range of L1
cache line sizes, typically the constructive interference size will be
the small end of the range and the destructive size will be the large
end.
The destructive interference size is intended to be used for layout,
and thus has ABI impact. The default value is not expected to be
stable, and on some targets varies with @option{-mtune}, so use of
this variable in a context where ABI stability is important, such as
the public interface of a library, is strongly discouraged; if it is
used in that context, users can stabilize the value using this
option.
The constructive interference size is less sensitive, as it is
typically only used in a @samp{static_assert} to make sure that a type
fits within a cache line.
See also @option{-Winterference-size}.
