[OE-core] [PATCH] tune-i686: Add new tune for better support of 686-class CPUs.

There isn't currently any tune available for i686 x86 optimizations.
The tune for i586 doesn't enable i686 specific optimizations, and the
one for core2 enables things that won't work on a i686 CPU (like SSE3).

This patch also changes the default tune for the qemux86 machine from
i586 to i686. This should cause no issue, as "runqemu qemux86" already
defaults to run with "-cpu pentium2".

The tune for core2 now inherits from this one, which allows to remove
the override on the X86ARCH32 definition.
