rP399906: Introduce Binutils for CloudABI on aarch64.

Summary

When I added the first copy of the CloudABI toolchain to the Ports tree,
I assumed that it would be easily possible to have a single Binutils
port that would support all of the architectures of interest. It seems
that this is not really supported, or simply awkward to use.

Let's just rename the cloudabi-binutils port to cloudabi-binutils-x86_64
and add an additional cloudabi-binutils-aarch64.

Test Plan

The ports still seem to build and install. The resulting toolchain still
generates functional binaries, both for aarch64 and x86_64.

Are the cloudabi support changes going upstream as well?

If I'm in charge, yes. I sent them out to the Binutils list, but I haven't received any response from the maintainer yet. My plan is to sync in an updated diff in case it differs a lot.
