aarch64: improve debuggability on array of enum
The current space optmization on enum aarch64_opn_qualifier forced its encoding using an unsigned char. This "hard-coded" optimization has the bad consequence of making the array of such enums being completely unreadable when debugging with GDB because the enum type is lost along the way. Keeping this space optimization, and the enum type as well, is possible when the declaration of the enum is tagged with attribute((packed)). attribute((packed)) is a GNU extension, and is wrapped in the macro ATTRIBUTE_PACKED (defined in ansidecl.h), and should be used instead.
