This patch introduces new optimized version of ZGEMM kernel
using power10 Matrix-Multiply Assist (MMA) feature introduced in
POWER ISA v3.1. This patch makes use of new POWER10 compute instructions
for matrix multiplication operation.
Tested on simulator and there are no new test failures.
Cycles count reduced by 30-50% compared to POWER9 version depending on
M/N/K sizes.

The two test cases dgemv_tester and dgemm_tester accept the degree of
concurrency as command line argument (amongst others). Fail early if
value 0 has been specified, instead of later with less-clear symptoms.

... instead of (number of hw threads - 4) to avoid invalid numbers on
smaller systems. Currently, systems with 4 or fewer CPUs (e.g., small CI
VMs) would fail the test. Fixes one of the issues discussed in #2668

In gcc-7.1, the behavior of -dumpversion changed to be configured
at compile-time. On some distributions it only dumps the major version
(e.g., Ubuntu), so the current checks for the gcc minor version report
false negatives. As a replacement, gcc-7.1 introduced -dumpfullversion
which always prints the full version.
Update the gcc version detection in Makefile.system to employ
-dumpfullversion with gcc-7 and newer.
Posting this patch for discussion, since it emerged from discussions
around issue #2668 and PR #2669. It is not solving a problem right now,
but may be useful in the future.

... to bring unified gcc version detection with common variables to the
one remaining spot in Makefile.system.

Employ common variables for gcc version detection and fix the broken
check for gcc >= 5.2.

replaces calculation of machine precision with call to epsilon intrinsic and removes the requirement for previous output files to be removed before rerunning tests
