This is an attempt to fix the performance regression introduced in #2345 by requiring ARMv8.1 when it is only strictly needed for
experimental.CoreFeaturesThreads
.When I did #2345 I was trying to fix wasilibs/go-re2#136, and assumed (from the bug description) that these processors were really uncommon. It turns out that (e.g.) RaspberryPi 3 and 4 don't support these, and neither does the original Graviton (still in use by AWS).
Also, only Linux and FreeBSD allow us to figure out if the processor is an ARMv8.1 (we assume it is for macOS and take the chance on Windows, because 11 requires it). Still, the ARM compiler works fine on NetBSD too (I test this it in SQLite, as well as the ARM FreeBSD compiler).
I'm happy to reconsider the approach if this seems confusing.
