Make sure iwMMXt is only detected on ARM

iwMMXt is incorrectly detected on x86 and amd64. This happens because
the test uses standard _mm_* intrinsic functions which it compiles with
-march=iwmmxt, but when the user has set CFLAGS=-march=k8 for instance,
no error is generated from -march=iwmmxt, even though it's not a valid
flag on x86/amd64. Passing CFLAGS=-march=native does not override the
-march=iwmmxt flag though, which is why it wasn't noticed before.

So, just #error out in the test if the __arm__ preprocessor directive
isn't defined.
