Enable building DYNAMIC_ARCH support with older versions of glibc that
do not know about the hwcap flag HWCAP_S390_VXE yet.

... instead of duplicating the (old) mechanism from the Makefile that
aimed to derive supported architecture generations from the gcc
version.
To enable builds with DYNAMIC_ARCH with older compiler releases, the
Makefile and drivers/other/dynamic_arch.c need a common view of the
architecture support built into the library.
We follow the notation from x86 when used with DYNAMIC_LIST, where
defines DYN_<ARCH NAME> denote support for a given generation to be
built in. Since there are far fewer architecture generations in OpenBLAS
for s390x, that does not bloat command lines too much.

Simplify detection of which kernels we can compile on s390x. Instead of
decoding the gcc version in a complicated manner, just check if CC
supports a given -march=archXY flag. Together with the next patch, we
thereby gain support for builds with LLVM/clang with DYNAMIC_ARCH=1.

as explained by serguei-patchkovskii in Reference-LAPACK/lapack#438 (comment) , passing in an index of 1 instead of N leads to a standards violation accessing matrix A in SLASET, i.e. undefined behavior
The code for SGEMM 16x4 and DGEMM 8x4 blocks on z14 and z15 uses
explicit unrolling and interleaving to improve performance. The code
employs an empty inline asm statement with operands that constrain the
compiler's instruction scheduling and thereby enforce proper overlapping
of load and compute phases. Fix an ifdef to apply that for clang builds,
as well.

gcc's default setting for floating-point expression contraction is
"fast", which allows the compiler to emit fused multiply adds instead of
separate multiplies and adds (amongst others). Fused multiply-adds,
which assembly kernels typically apply, also bring a significant
performance advantage to the C implementation for matrix-matrix
multiplication on s390x. To enable that performance advantage for builds
with clang, add -ffp-contract=fast to the compiler options.

... since it is not required and clang does not support that gcc
extension. Instead, use a variable-length array directly for these
operands.
Note that, while the actual inline assembly code does not directly use
these memory operands, they serve to inform the compiler that it cannot
reorder reads or writes to/from the input and output data across the
inline asm statements.

Some of the kernels written in assembly utilize a "load address"
instruction for loading an immediate value into a register. That is
both unnecessarily complex and LLVM's assembler does not understand that
specific syntax. Thus, replace with the appropriate "load immediate"
instruction, which is also clearer to read.
