In 589c74a the cpuid detection was changed to use systemcfg, but a copy
and paste error was introduced during some refactoring that caused
POWER7 detection to reference CPUTYPE_POWER7 (which doesn't exist)
instead of CPUTYPE_POWER6.
In current code, no matter what number of threads specified, all
available CPU count is used when invoking OMP, which leads to very bad
performance if the workload is small while all available CPUs are big.
Lots of time are wasted on inter-thread sync. Fix this issue by really
using the number specified by the variable 'num' from calling API.

Move "direct SGEMM" functionality out of the SkylakeX SGEMM kernel and make it available
(on x86_64 targets only for now) in DYNAMIC_ARCH builds
* Add sgemm_direct targets in the kernel Makefile.L3 and CMakeLists.txt
* Add direct_sgemm functions to the gotoblas struct in common_param.h
* Move sgemm_direct_performant helper to separate file
* Update gemm.c to macros for sgemm_direct to support dynamic_arch naming via common_s,h
* (Conditionally) add sgemm_direct functions in setparam-ref.c
Enable new build target platform -- COOPERLAKE. This target platform
supports all the SKYLAKEX supported ISAs + avx512bf16. So all the
SKYLAKEX specific kernels/drivers and related code are now extended
to be also active on COOPERLAKE. Besides, new BF16 related kernels
are active under this target.
* Add dedicated POWER9 build (using new syntax to ensure it runs as a P9-only containerized job rather than a VM that
might end up on P8 hardware half of the time)
* Bump gcc version for POWER9 build
We recently changed the register blocking for SGEMM on s390x to 16x4.
However, we did not adjust Q to a multiple of 16 and thus fell back to
the 8x4 kernel at each block's margin, without need. Adjust P and Q to
multiples of 16 to employ the faster 16x4 kernel for complete full-sized
blocks.
