cutils: add avx2 instruction optimization

Browse source 
buffer_find_nonzero_offset() is a hot function during live migration.
Now it use SSE2 instructions for optimization. For platform supports
AVX2 instructions, use AVX2 instructions for optimization can help
to improve the performance of buffer_find_nonzero_offset() about 30%
comparing to SSE2.

Live migration can be faster with this optimization, the test result
shows that for an 8GiB RAM idle guest just boots, this patch can help
to shorten the total live migration time about 6%.

This patch use the ifunc mechanism to select the proper function when
running, for platform supports AVX2, execute the AVX2 instructions,
else, execute the original instructions.
