target/arm: Allow M-profile CPUs with FP16 to set FPSCR.FP16


M-profile CPUs with half-precision floating point support should
be able to write to FPSCR.FZ16, but an M-profile specific masking
of the value at the top of vfp_set_fpscr() currently prevents that.
This is not yet an active bug because we have no M-profile
FP16 CPUs, but needs to be fixed before we can add any.

The bits that the masking is effectively preventing from being
set are the A-profile only short-vector Len and Stride fields,
plus the Neon QC bit. Rearrange the order of the function so
that those fields are handled earlier and only under a suitable
guard; this allows us to drop the M-profile specific masking,
making FZ16 writeable.

This change also makes the QC bit correctly RAZ/WI for older
no-Neon A-profile cores.

This refactoring also paves the way for the low-overhead-branch
LTPSIZE field, which uses some of the bits that are used for
A-profile Stride and Len.
