buildflags.md: Document -fasynchronous-unwind-tables as generic option 

Based on Fedora commit 65028a4d002c02ce3c9518f7840ef47d721229b6.
Adjusted for lack of armhfp downstream and typo.

asynchronous cancellation and proper unwinding from signal

useful because unwind information is available without having to

C++ standard library, such as bounds checking for the subscription
operator on vectors. (This flag is added to both `CFLAGS` and

Asynchronous unwind tables are enabled for aarch64, i686,
ppc64le, s390x, and x86_64. They are not needed on armhfp due to
architectural differences in stack management. On these
architectures, `-fexceptions` (see above) still enables regular
unwind tables (or they are enabled by default even without this
option).
In addition, `redhat-rpm-config` re-selects the built-in default
tuning in the `gcc` package. These settings are:
