[v3] config: enable more than 128 cores for Arm64 platform

  When running dpdk applications on cores whose ids are bigger
than original max_core setting, eal error as below:
EAL: Detected 104 lcore(s)
EAL: Detected 2 NUMA nodes
EAL: invalid core list
-l CORELIST core indexes between 0 and 128

The fix is to increase max_core to 256 on Arm64 platform.

Fixes: b3ce00e5 ("mk: introduce ARMv8 architecture")

thunderx has only 96 cores. It the "thunderx2" which has more cores.
There no speerate config "thunderx2", it is using generic armv8 config.
So this specific line of change is not needed.
