Similar to 'cc-option' or 'ld-option', it is occasionally necessary to
check whether the assembler supports certain ISA extensions. In the
arm64 code we currently do this in Makefile with an additional define:
lseinstr := $(call as-instr,.arch_extension lse,-DCONFIG_AS_LSE=1)
Add the 'as-instr' option so that it can be used in Kconfig directly:
def_bool $(as-instr,.arch_extension lse)
