#10910: arm64 value for <instruction-set> feature support

  Version:  Boost 1.57.0       |   Severity:  Problem

-------------------------------+---------------------------
 I want to build boost for arm64 instruction set. But getting error:

     error: "arm64" is not a known value of feature <instruction-set>

 This error occurs because builtin.jam file contains just following
 **valid** values for instruction-set feature:

     armv2 armv2a armv3 armv3m armv4 armv4t armv5 armv5t armv5te armv6
 armv6j armv6j iwmmxt ep9312 armv7 armv7s

 I also checked several versions of boost - all of them don't contain arm64
 value at builtin.jam file. Meanwhile arm64 is a valid argument to
 **-arch** option for compiler (e.g. clang)

 So my question is: why don't add there "arm64" value to the list of valid
 values for instruction-set feature?
