    [MC][AArch64] Enable '+v8a' when nothing specified for MCSubtargetInfo · c12386ae
    Since D110065, the 'R' profile support is added to LLVM. It turns the
    `generic` cpu into the intersection of v8-a and v8-r. However, this
    makes some backward compatibility problems. The original patch makes
    the clang driver implicitly pass -march=armv8-a when only the triple
    is specified. Since it only applies to clang, other tools like
    llvm-objdump still faces the backward compatibility problem.
    
    This patch applies the same idea to MC related tools by enabling '+v8a'
    feature when nothing is specified (both CPU and FS are empty) for
    MCSubtargetInfo creation.
    
    This patch should fix PR53956.
