dce452dc52 Rename the glibc.tune namespace to glibc.cpu
The glibc.tune namespace is vaguely named since it is a 'tunable', so
give it a more specific name that describes what it refers to.  Rename
the tunable namespace to 'cpu' to more accurately reflect what it
encompasses.  Also rename glibc.tune.cpu to glibc.cpu.name since
glibc.cpu.cpu is weird.

28cfa3a48e tunables, aarch64: New tunable to override cpu
Add a new tunable (glibc.tune.cpu) to override CPU identification on
aarch64.  This is useful in two cases: one where it is desirable to
pretend to be another CPU for purposes of testing or because routines
written for that CPU are beneficial for specific workloads and second
where the underlying kernel does not support emulation of MRS to get
the MIDR of the CPU.

	* elf/dl-tunables.h (tunable_is_name): Move from...
	* elf/dl-tunables.c (is_name): ... here.
	(parse_tunables, __tunables_init): Adjust.
	* manual/tunables.texi: Document glibc.tune.cpu.
	* sysdeps/aarch64/dl-tunables.list: New file.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/cpu-features.c (struct
	cpu_list): New type.
	(cpu_list): New list of CPU names and their MIDR.
	(get_midr_from_mcpu): New function.
	(init_cpu_features): Override MIDR if necessary.
