runtime: YIELD in procyield on ARM

ARM currently does not use a hardware yield instruction in the spin
loop in procyield because the YIELD instruction was only added in
ARMv6K. However, it appears earlier ARM chips will interpret the YIELD
encoding as an effective NOP (specifically an MSR instruction that
ultimately has no effect on the CPSR register).

Hence, use YIELD in procyield on ARM since it should be, at worst,
harmless.

Fixes #16663.
