[PATCH][GCC][AArch64] Have empty HWCAPs string ignored during native feature detection

[Tamar Christina]

Hi All,

This patch makes the feature detection code for AArch64 GCC not add features
automatically when the feature had no hwcaps string to match against.

This means that -mcpu=native no longer adds feature flags such as +profile.
The behavior wasn't noticed before because at the time +profile was added a bug
was preventing any feature bits from being added by native detections.

Bootstrapped Regtested on aarch64-none-linux-gnu and no issues.

Ok for trunk?

Thanks,
Tamar
