Expose the availability of the BFloat16 (BF16) format support in the CPUs.
BF16 is a new 16-bit floating point format different from the half
precision format defined by the IEEE-754-2008.

BF16 extensions add support for new instructions for both FP/SIMD and SVE.
Advertise these features individually to the userspace via ELF HWCAP.
