1. Added bfloat16 based dot as new API: shdot
2. Implemented generic kernel and cooperlake-specific (AVX512-BF16) kernel for shdot
3. Added 4 conversion APIs for bfloat16 data type <=> single/double: shstobf16 shdtobf16 sbf16tos dbf16tod
shstobf16 -- convert single float array to bfloat16 array
shdtobf16 -- convert double float array to bfloat16 array
sbf16tos -- convert bfloat16 array to single float array
dbf16tod -- convert bfloat16 array to double float array
4. Implemented generic kernels for all 4 conversion APIs, and cooperlake-specific kernel for shstobf16 and shdtobf16
5. Update level1 thread facilitate functions and macros to support multi-threading for these new APIs
6. Fix Cooperlake platform detection/specify issue when under dynamic-arch building
7. Change the typedef of bfloat16 from unsigned short to more strict uint16_t

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.
Something in the plain C parts of x86_64 cscal.c and zscal.c appears to be miscompiled by both gfortran9 and ifort when compiling for skylakex-avx512, even when the optimized Haswell microkernel is not in use.
As discussed on the original PR #2329, the "Apple Clang 11.0.3" that appears to be based the same LLVM release produces the same miscompilation of this file.
