[RFC,v3,1/6] build: rename default Arm build to generic-armv8

  The current machine='default' build name is not descriptive. The actual
default build is machine='native'. Add an alternative string which does
the same build and better describes what we're building:
machine='generic-armv8'. Leave machine='default' for backwards
compatibility.

Rather than having this just for arm, how about adding "generic" as a
synonym for "default" at the top level, since it probably better describes
what "default" does for all architectures.

Okay, makes sense. I'll do that in the next version.
