[Bug target/31019] New: Microoptimization of the i386 and x86_64 compilers

[michael dot meissner at amd dot com]

There are a lot of feature test macros in the i386/x86_64 compiler of the form:
(x86_some_var & (1 << ix86_arch))

These tests could be micro-optimized, either by storing 1 << ix86_arch into a
global variable, or by having a global variable that is the result of the and
and the shift, so that a simple != 0 can be done.
