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.
