* compiler -march= parameter is changed from native to corei7
so code is always genereted with instructions which are available
on the Nehalem microarchitecture (up to SSE4.2)
* compiler -mtune= parameter is added so code is optimized for
corei7-avx which equals to Sandy Bridge microarchitecture
* set of macros is added which allows run-time detection of available
cpu instructions (e.g. clib_cpu_supports_avx())
* set of macros is added which allows us to clone graph node funcitons
where cloned function is optmized for different microarchitecture
Those macros are using following attributes:
__attribute__((flatten))
__attribute__((target("arch=core-avx2)))
I.e. If applied to foo_node_fn() macro will generate cloned
functions foo_node_fn_avx2() and foo_node_fn_avx512() (future)
It will also generate function void * foo_node_fn_multiarch_select()
which detects available instruction set and returns pointer to the
best matching function clone.

Some build hosts can run out of memory during compilation.
This should reduce memory demand without affecting build time.
