cmd/dist: enable GOARM>5 on NetBSD/ARM.

Tested GOARM=6 on Raspberry Pi, and I found only a few tests that
use sub-normal numbers fails. I have a patch to NetBSD kernel pending
that fixes this issue (NetBSD kernel doesn't allow us to disable the
Flush-to-Zero feature).

// FreeBSD also have broken VFP support, so disable VFP also
// on FreeBSD.
