[aarch64-port-dev ] Review Request JDK-8175819: OS name and arch in JMOD files should match the values as in the bundle name

[Stuart Monteith]

It is historical revisionism. AArch32 was introduced with ARMv8,
before there was no need to distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit
execution states.
If people are selecting, say, JNI libraries, based on os.arch, then
there is every reason to be consistent.
