doc: Document AArch64-specific asm operand modifiers

As it stands, GCC doesn't document any public AArch64-specific operand
modifiers for use in inline asm.  This patch fixes that by documenting
an initial set of public AArch64-specific operand modifiers.

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* doc/extend.texi: Document AArch64 Operand Modifiers.

+@headitem Modifier @tab Description
+@item @code{w} @tab Print a 32-bit general-purpose register name or, given a
+constant zero operand, the 32-bit zero register (@code{wzr}).
+@item @code{x} @tab Print a 64-bit general-purpose register name or, given a
+constant zero operand, the 64-bit zero register (@code{xzr}).
+@item @code{b} @tab Print an FP/SIMD register name with a @code{b} (byte, 8-bit)
+prefix.
+@item @code{h} @tab Print an FP/SIMD register name with an @code{h} (halfword,
+16-bit) prefix.
+@item @code{s} @tab Print an FP/SIMD register name with an @code{s} (single
+word, 32-bit) prefix.
+@item @code{d} @tab Print an FP/SIMD register name with a @code{d} (doubleword,
+64-bit) prefix.
+@item @code{q} @tab Print an FP/SIMD register name with a @code{q} (quadword,
+128-bit) prefix.
+@item @code{Z} @tab Print an FP/SIMD register name as an SVE register (i.e. with
+a @code{z} prefix).  This is a no-op for SVE register operands.
