[PATCH v12 1/1] Add support for Windows on 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().  x86_64 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., simd.h and pg_popcount_aarch64.c), but those
are optional and can be dealt with in a later commit.
