Support AArch64

AArch64 has now been around for a decade, no need to continue with old hat ISAs like ARMv7.

We wrote Visual2 to support ARM v6 / ARM v7 (very old) because that architecture was good for 1st year uni teaching a whole load of stuff - it was very regular and simple. The purpose was not so much teaching a specific assembly language as understanding low-level computation.

I agree it is now out of date - you could equally argue that learning assembler is out of date, although there remain small use cases.
