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

As observed using GCC 10 using -march=native -ftree-vectorize
on Knights Landing, it is now smart enough to find clobbers inside
non-inlined static functions.
In particular, sgemv counted on a kernel to preserve the whole
%ymm2 register (since it was not in the clobber list), but the top
part was destroyed by vzeroupper. This caused many tests to fail.
This patch makes sure all xmm (and ymm/zmm by extension) registers
are listed as clobbered to avoid this happening, as most kernels
already did correctly in fact.
The
`#if defined(SKYLAKEX) || defined (COOPERLAKE)`
from that commit was before #include "common.h" so caused the
compiled function to be empty, returning garbage results for
qualifying sgemm's on those architectures.
Closes#2914
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
