arm64/fpsimdmacros: Allow the macro "for" to be used in more cases
The current version of the macro "for" is not able to work when the counter is used to generate registers using mnemonics. This is because gas is not able to evaluate the expression generated if used in register's name (i.e x\n). Gas offers a way to evaluate macro arguments by using % in front of them under the alternate macro mode. The implementation of "for" is updated to use the alternate macro mode and %, so we can use the macro in more cases. As the alternate macro mode may have side-effects, this is disabled when expanding the body. While it is enough to prefix the argument of the macro "__for_body" with %, the arguments of "__for" are also prefixed to get a more bearable value in case of compilation error.
