Since Armv9.6, FEAT_LSUI supplies the load/store instructions for

It's enough to add CONFIG_AS_HAS_LSUI only because the code for LUSI uses
Nit: s/LUSI/LSUI/
indiviual `.arch_extension` entries.

I don't think we need to describe the feature in detail for the AS_HAS_*
config symbol; I think all we need to say is:

	Supported by LLVM 20 and later, not yet supported by GNU AS.

Otherwise this looks fine.
