If this works then DISTRO would have finer control of which DEFAULTTUNE
to use

1) default: don't use mtune, optimize only for march (don't mix mtune in
the same feed).

2) include optimized-tune.inc in distro.conf: use mtune only for some packages, but
with separate package feed for them

3) DEFAULTTUNE = ${OPTDEFAULTTUNE} in distro.conf: always use best mtune
available for MACHINE, but unlike current default, don't mix them in
same package feed

DEFAULTTUNE = ${OPTDEFAULTTUNE} should also be used for PACKAGE_ARCH ==
MACHINE_ARCH
