RTEMS | [arm] Implement _CPU_Spin_wait() in cpu.h for SMP spin-loop throttling (#5642)

[Wayne Thornton (@wmthornton-dev)]

## Description:
We have introduced a new Super Core architecture hook, `_CPU_Spin_wait(),` to mitigate aggressive speculative execution penalties, reduce thermal load, and lower bus contention during SMP spin-wait polling loops. The reference template is currently documented in `cpukit/score/cpu/no_cpu/include/rtems/score/cpu.h` and natively implemented for `x86_64` upon merging of rtems/rtos/rtems!1256.

The arm architecture port needs to override the default fallback by implementing a native inline assembly pipeline throttle in `cpukit/score/cpu/arm/include/rtems/score/cpu.h`.

## Suggested Implementation:
For ARMv7-A / ARMv8-A targets, this should utilize the architectural `yield` instruction (or `wfe` where appropriate for spin-locks) paired with a compiler memory clobber:

```
static inline void _CPU_Spin_wait( void )
{
  __asm__ volatile( "yield" ::: "memory" );
}
#define _CPU_Spin_wait _CPU_Spin_wait
```

## Verification:
Validate that the implementation compiles cleanly and passes the standalone SMP spin-wait test suite: `testsuites/smptests/smpspinwait01`. Once defined, the preprocessor will automatically override the temporary test-level fallback in `init.c`.
