arm: A couple small fixes for the arm64 bootloader makefile.

First, remove a deprecated flag that gcc no longer recognizes.

Second, disable suffix based implicit makefile rules. These, in
combination with the %.o: boot.S rule, were tricking make into deleting
it's own makefile. How, you might ask?

make wants to update its makefile, since that's a thing it does
automatically. This is useful if you, for instance, have computed
header dependencies.

make decides it can make a file called "makefile" from a file called
"makefile.o" by doing a linking step.

make decides it can make makefile.o from boot.S from the %.o: boot.S
rule, which it does.

It then attempts to link makefile.o into makefile, but that fails
because it lacks a "main" function since it's using a built in rule
which doesn't know not to expect main. The makefile is clobbered in the
process.

make then deletes makefile.o because it was an implicit target,
eliminating all the evidence.
