blas_server_avail was read without holding server_lock. If multiple threads call blas_thread_shutdown simultaneously, for example, by calling fork(), then they can attempt to shut down multiple times. This can lead to a segmentation fault.
After a fork it is possible that blas_thread_buffer has already
allocated memory buffers: goto_set_num_threads does allocate those
already and it may be called by num_cpu_avail in case the OpenBLAS
NUM_THREADS differ from the OMP num threads.
This leads to a memory leak which can cause subsequent execution of BLAS
kernels to fail.
Fixes#2993
1. Add a new API -- sbgemv to support bfloat16 based gemv
2. Implement a generic kernel for sbgemv
3. Implement an avx512-bf16 based kernel for sbgemv

This initializes the per-thread memory buffers which get
cleared/released on a fork via pthread_at_fork. Not doing so leads to
each thread calling blas_memory_alloc on almost every execution which
slows down the code significantly as the threads race for the memory
allocation using locks to serialize that.
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.

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
