aarch64-softfloat: forbid enabling the neon target feature
This fixesrust-lang#134375 in a rather crude way, by making [the example](https://godbolt.org/z/r56xWo8nT) not build any more on aarch64-unknown-none-softfloat. That is a breaking change since the "neon" aarch64 target feature is stable, but this is justified as a soundness fix. Note that it's not "neon" which is problematic but "fp-armv8"; however, the two are tied together by rustc.
`-Ctarget-feature=+neon` still works, it just causes a warning (but one that we do hope to make a hard error eventually). Only `#[target_feature="neon"]` becomes a hard error with this PR.
More work on the LLVM side will be needed before we can let people use neon without impacting the ABI of float values (and, in particular, the ABI used by automatically inserted calls to libm functions, e.g. for int-to-float casts, which rustc has no control over).
Nominating for `@rust-lang/lang` since it is a breaking change. As-is this PR doesn't have a warning cycle; the hope is that the aarch64-unknown-none-softfloat target is sufficiently niche that there's no huge fallout and we can easily revert if it causes trouble. A warning cycle could be added but would need some dedicated rather hacky check in the target_feature attribute handling logic.
