[PATCH v2 1/2] configure: introduce configure option avx512f

[Robert Hoo]

Introduce {enable,disable}-avx512f configure option. It is by default disabled.
Only when user explicitly enable-avx512f and compiling environment supports
AVX512F, CONFIG_AVX512F_OPT will be defined.

AVX512F instruction set is available since Intel Skylake.
