I don't like how flags are set in config/arm/meson.build. It is a real mess to find which flag applies to which machine. Adding the flags_*_extra in the machine_args_* is adding more mess.

We need only to know the machine name and get all the related machine config. In native compilation, machine name is guessed from implementor id and pn (from config/arm/armv8_machine.py). We can directly output the machine name from this script and leave the naming logic in this script. In the cross-compilation config files (config/arm/*), we can just specify the machine name. Then every machine config (machine_args and dpdk_conf) would be specified in some arrays based on the machine name. Of course, we can keep some common default values. Thoughts?
