- Drop mention of _LP64. FreeBSD's source generally uses __LP64__
instead of _LP64, and the relevant macros are better covered in the
"Predefined Macros" section.
- Fix a noun/verb disagreement.

- Add missing .Pp after the end of some lists so that there is a blank
line before the subsequent paragraph.
- Use a more typical '-tag' bullet list of the make variable descriptions
at the end. This adds separation between bullets and is the formatting
typically used in manpages for this sort of list.
This enables LLVM as the default compiler for powerpc, powerpc64, and
powerpcspe, as well as LLD as the default linker for powerpc64.
LLD is not yet ready for prime time for powerpc and powerpcspe, but work is
continuing on it.

GCC 4.2.1 is being removed before FreeBSD 13, as are some other
components required by FreeBSD/sparc64. Contemporary GCC does not build
and there is currently no indication that anyone is going to address
these issues.

Other architectures are documented in terms of the name that is displayed by
'uname -p', aka MACHINE_ARCH and TARGET_ARCH in the build system, now
aarch64 matches the rest of them.

Compilers may define multiple variants of architecture-specific macros
(for example, both __x86_64 and __x86_64__). Add a note that the macros
documented in arch.7 are the preferred ones for FreeBSD.

Remove all the details about armeb from arch(7), except for its
release start and end, like alpha, ia64 and pc98.

o Replace __riscv64 with (__riscv && __riscv_xlen == 64)
This is required to support new GCC 7.1 compiler.
This is compatible with current GCC 6.1 compiler.
RISC-V is extensible ISA and the idea here is to have built-in define
per each extension, so together with __riscv we will have some subset
of these as well (depending on -march string passed to compiler):
__riscv_compressed
__riscv_atomic
__riscv_mul
__riscv_div
__riscv_muldiv
__riscv_fdiv
__riscv_fsqrt
__riscv_float_abi_soft
__riscv_float_abi_single
__riscv_float_abi_double
__riscv_cmodel_medlow
__riscv_cmodel_medany
__riscv_cmodel_pic
__riscv_xlen

AKA Make time_t 64 bits on powerpc(32).
PowerPC currently (until now) was one of two architectures with a 32-bit time_t
on 32-bit archs (the other being i386). This is an ABI breakage, so all ports,
and all local binaries, *must* be recompiled.
