Most of the fallback values can just be removed because we don't support
building with gcc versions older than 5.1.0 any more. The only one
that I think still needs a fallback is mtune=power9, which requires gcc-6.1
or higher. CONFIG_POWER9_CPU could similarly use a
"depends on GCC_VERSION > 60100".
