arch-armv7a.inc: default to Thumb2 instruction set for armv7a and above

Although there may still be specific cases which can benefit from the
ARM instruction set, the Thumb2 instruction set is generally a better
default for armv7a class CPUs. Distros such as Debian and Fedora have
been targeting Thumb2 by default for some time.

Note that setting ARM_INSTRUCTION_SET has no effect unless
TUNE_FEATURES contains "thumb" (which is controlled by the "t" suffix
in DEFAULTTUNE, e.g. armv7vehf-neon -vs- armv7vethf-neon, etc) so out
of tree machine configs may need to update their DEFAULTTUNE to take
advantage of this change.
