Enable DYNAMIC_ARCH feature on ARM64. This patch uses the cpuid
feature in linux kernel to detect the core type at runtime
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/cpu-feature-registers.txt).
If this feature is missing in kernel, then the user should use the
OPENBLAS_CORETYPE env variable to select the desired core type.
Remove XGENE1 target as the implementation for the
same is incomplete. Moreover whoever wishes to use
on XGENE1 can use the generic ARMV8 target as there
are no XGENE1 specific optimizations in OpenBLAS.
Currently the generic ARMV8 target uses C implementations
for many routines. Replace these with the neon implementations
written for THUNDERX2T99 target which are upto 6x faster for
certain routines.
Add optimized n/t copy versions for skylakex; in the patch the
tcopy is also rewritten using intrinsics; the ncopy file
will be worked on in a future commit
The next step for the avx512 dgemm code is adding a 16x8 kernel.
In the 8x8 kernel, each FMA has a matching load (the broadcast);
in the 16x8 kernel we can reuse this load for 2 FMAs, which
in turn reduces pressure on the load ports of the CPU and gives
a nice performance boost (in the 25% range).
This patch adds dgemm_kernel_4x8_skylakex.c which is
* dgemm_kernel_4x8_haswell.s converted to C + intrinsics
* 8x8 support added
* 8x8 kernel implemented using AVX512
Performance is a work in progress, but already shows a 10% - 20%
increase for a wide range of matrix sizes.

(the same C code works for Haswell as well)
For logistical reasons the code falls back to the existing
haswell AVX2 implementation if the GCC or LLVM compiler is not new enough
