Jinshan Xiong 1eeb4562a7 Implementation of AVX2 optimized Fletcher-4
New functionality:
- Preserves existing scalar implementation.
- Adds AVX2 optimized Fletcher-4 computation.
- Fastest routines selected on module load (benchmark).
- Test case for Fletcher-4 added to ztest.

New zcommon module parameters:
-  zfs_fletcher_4_impl (str): selects the implementation to use.
    "fastest" - use the fastest version available
    "cycle"   - cycle trough all available impl for ztest
    "scalar"  - use the original version
    "avx2"    - new AVX2 implementation if available

Performance comparison (Intel i7 CPU, 1MB data buffers):
- Scalar:  4216 MB/s
- AVX2:   14499 MB/s

See contents of `/sys/module/zcommon/parameters/zfs_fletcher_4_impl`
to get list of supported values. If an implementation is not supported
on the system, it will not be shown. Currently selected option is
enclosed in `[]`.
