aarch64: disable LDP via tuning structure for -mcpu=ampere1

AmpereOne (-mcpu=ampere1) breaks LDP instructions into two uops.
Given the chance that this causes instructions to slip into the next
decoding cycle and the additional overheads when handling
cacheline-crossing LDP instructions, we disable the generation of LDP
isntructions through the tuning structure from instruction combining
(such as in peephole2).

Given the code-density benefits in builtins and prologue/epilogue
expansion, we allow LDPs there.

This commit:
 * adds a new tuning option AARCH64_EXTRA_TUNE_NO_LDP_COMBINE
 * allows -moverride=tune=... to override this

These changes are benchmark-driven, yielding the following changes
(with a net-overall improvement):
   503.bwaves_r.      -0.88%
   507.cactuBSSN_r     0.35%
   508.namd_r          3.09%
   510.parest_r       -2.99%
   511.povray_r        5.54%
   519.lbm_r          15.83%
   521.wrf_r           0.56%
   526.blender_r       2.47%
   527.cam4_r          0.70%
   538.imagick_r       0.00%
   544.nab_r          -0.33%
   549.fotonik3d_r.   -0.42%
   554.roms_r          0.00%
