runtime: remove CPU capability workarounds for unsupported FreeBSD versions

This CL removes runtime code working around missing ARM processor capability
information in the auxiliary vector in older FreeBSD versions.

As announced in the Go 1.12 release notes Go 1.13 will require FreeBSD 11.2+
or FreeBSD 12.0+. These FreeBSD versions support CPU capability detection
through AT_HWCAP and AT_HWCAP2 values stored in the auxiliary vector.

Updates #27619
