Update configure probes for CFLAGS needed for ARM CRC instructions.

On ARM platforms where the baseline CPU target lacks CRC instructions,
we need to supply a -march flag to persuade the compiler to compile
such instructions.  It turns out that our existing choice of
"-march=armv8-a+crc" has not worked for some time, because recent gcc
will interpret that as selecting software floating point, and then
will spit up if the platform requires hard-float ABI, as most do
nowadays.  The end result was to silently fall back to software CRC,
which isn't very desirable since in practice almost all currently
produced ARM chips do have hardware CRC.

We can fix this by using "-march=armv8-a+crc+simd" to enable the
correct ABI choice.  (This has no impact on the code actually
generated, since neither of the files we compile with this flag
does any floating-point stuff, let alone SIMD.)  Keep the test for
"-march=armv8-a+crc" since that's required for soft-float ABI,
but try that second since most platforms we're likely to build on
use hard-float.

Since this isn't working as-intended on the last several years'
worth of gcc releases, back- to all supported branches.
