[OE-core] [PATCH 4/5] tunearch/arm: Differentiate between thumb code generation and thumb capability

We have diverged a bit from oe.dev where thumb in OVERRIDES meant
the code was being compiled in thumb mode. With tunearch this got
a different meaning where it meant that if a core is capable of
generating thumb code them we will have this in overrides. With this
patch I am trying to address the problem where 'thumbmode' in TUNE_FEATURES
means that code will be compiled in thumb mode by default and
'thumb' is to denote that core is capable of thumb instruction set.
