Clang 7 complains about the vmsr instruction in ArmV7Support.S,
which is only available on cores that implement some flavour of
VFP. So set the .fpu to NEON like we do in some other places.

No objection from me. But I would point out that the special clang
filtering here could possibly be dropped.

I mean, theoretically someone could have an even older binutils, but
Linaro GCC 4.8-2013.05 will happily assemble the clang side of this
conditional.

Yeah, but that would be a separate patch, no?

Oh, sure. Just, it would be nice if that could precede this change.

That said, the other two .fpu neon instances in edk2 are both hidden
behind #if !defined(__APPLE__). Should we check with Andrew
(post-wilderbeest) if this is something we need to keep (and if so add
it here) or whether we can delete it across the board?
