Presently, we check for compiler support for the required intrinsics both with and without extra compiler flags (e.g., -mxsave), and then depending on the results of those checks, we pick which files to compile with which flags. This is tedious and complicated, and it results in unsustainable coding patterns such as separate files for each portion of code may need to be built with different compiler flags. This commit introduces support for __attribute__((target(...))) and uses it for the AVX-512 code. This simplifies both the configure-time checks and the build scripts, and it allows us to place the functions that use the intrinsics in files that we otherwise do not want to build with special CPU instructions. We are careful to avoid using __attribute__((target(...))) on compilers that do not understand it, but we still perform the configure-time checks in case the compiler allows using the intrinsics without it (e.g., MSVC). A similar change could likely be made for some of the CRC-32C code, but that is left as a future exercise.
