Nathan Bossart a516b3f00d MSVC: Support building for AArch64.
This commit does the following to get tests passing for
MSVC/AArch64:

* Implements spin_delay() with an ISB instruction (like we do for
gcc/clang on AArch64).

* Sets USE_ARMV8_CRC32C unconditionally.  Vendor-supported versions
of Windows for AArch64 require at least ARMv8.1, which is where CRC
extension support became mandatory.

* Implements S_UNLOCK() with _InterlockedExchange().  The existing
implementation for MSVC uses _ReadWriteBarrier() (a compiler
barrier), which is insufficient for this purpose on non-TSO
architectures.

There are likely other changes required to take full advantage of
the hardware (e.g., atomics/arch-arm.h, simd.h,
pg_popcount_aarch64.c), but those can be dealt with later.
