27f08ea1c7 util: add util function buffer_zero_avx512()
And intialize buffer_is_zero() with it, when Intel AVX512F is
available on host.

This function utilizes Intel AVX512 fundamental instructions which
is faster than its implementation with AVX2 (in my unit test, with
4K buffer, on CascadeLake SP, ~36% faster, buffer_zero_avx512() V.S.
buffer_zero_avx2()).

5dd8990841 util: Introduce include/qemu/cpuid.h
Clang 3.9 passes the CONFIG_AVX2_OPT configure test.  However, the
supplied <cpuid.h> does not contain the bit_AVX2 define that we use
when detecting whether the routine can be enabled.

Introduce a qemu-specific header that uses the compiler's definition
of __cpuid et al, but supplies any missing bit_* definitions needed.
This avoids introducing any extra ifdefs to util/bufferiszero.c, and
allows quite a few to be removed from tcg/i386/tcg-target.inc.c.
