Problem: MS-Windows: MSVC Makefile CPU handling can be improved
Solution: Update Makefile and also remove some old code
(Ken Takata)
* The variable `ASSEMBLY_ARCHITECTURE` was originally used to generate
the manifest file. However, this was removed in v7.0.198. Remove
`ASSEMBLY_ARCHITECTURE` and use `CPU` instead.
* `/arch:AVX512` is available starting from Visual C++ 2017.
* ARM64 was not considered when validating CPUNR.
Skip the validation for ARM64 for now.
* Remove old code for VC6/7 and Win9x.
