By increasing avx2 length_to_accel to 128, we can simplify its logic and reduce a
branch.
The authorship of this patch actually belongs to Richard Henderson
<richard.henderson@linaro.org>, I just fixed a boundary case on his
original patch.

Because in unit test, init_accel() will be called several times, each with
different accelerator type.

And intialize buffer_is_zero() with it, when Intel AVX512F is
available on host.
This function utilizes Intel AVX512 fundamental instructions which
is faster than its implementation with AVX2 (in my unit test, with
4K buffer, on CascadeLake SP, ~36% faster, buffer_zero_avx512() V.S.
buffer_zero_avx2()).

Clang 3.9 passes the CONFIG_AVX2_OPT configure test. However, the
supplied <cpuid.h> does not contain the bit_AVX2 define that we use
when detecting whether the routine can be enabled.
Introduce a qemu-specific header that uses the compiler's definition
of __cpuid et al, but supplies any missing bit_* definitions needed.
This avoids introducing any extra ifdefs to util/bufferiszero.c, and
allows quite a few to be removed from tcg/i386/tcg-target.inc.c.

For ppc64le, gcc6 does extremely poorly with the Altivec code.
Moreover, on POWER7 and POWER8, a hand-optimized Altivec version
turns out to be no faster than the revised integer version, and
therefore not worth the effort.

Since the two users don't make use of the returned offset,
beyond ensuring that the entire buffer is zero, consider the
can_use_buffer_find_nonzero_offset and buffer_find_nonzero_offset
functions internal.
