Clean backport of CPU detection function for Ampere-1 and Ampere-1A, and performance enhancement with turning on UseSIMDForMemoryOps option for these two CPUs by default. Verified OpenJDK bundled JMH test cases, `make run-test TEST="micro:java.lang.ArrayCopy*"` , SIMD vs NoSIMD ratios are mostly positive as expected, aligned with that on jdk mainline. Low risk to other functions/systems due to the CPU detection logic.

Additional tests done:
1. Linux aarch64 release tier1 on Ampere-1 system, without explicitly specifying UseSIMDForMemoryOps 
2. OpenJDK GHA Sanity Checks on forked repo: https://github.com/cnqpzhang/jdk17u-dev/actions/runs/3919027362
