Commit 759be3dad9 bumped our Go
requirement to 1.18 which allows us to drop support for old-style
`+build` tags. This change runs `go fix ./...` to remove them, and
updates some remaining code generators that produced `+build` lines.
* Update CI Go version to 1.20/1.19
* Update `golangci-lint` to v1.51.2
* Update coverage collection to use new Go 1.20 tools
* Update coverage job to only run on latest Go version
Fixes#367
Extends avo to support most AVX-512 instruction sets.
The instruction type is extended to support suffixes. The K family of opmask
registers is added to the register package, and the operand package is updated
to support the new operand types. Move instruction deduction in `Load` and
`Store` is extended to support KMOV* and VMOV* forms.
Internal code generation packages were overhauled. Instruction database loading
required various messy changes to account for the additional complexities of the
AVX-512 instruction sets. The internal/api package was added to introduce a
separation between instruction forms in the database, and the functions avo
provides to create them. This was required since with instruction suffixes there
is no longer a one-to-one mapping between instruction constructors and opcodes.
AVX-512 bloated generated source code size substantially, initially increasing
compilation and CI test times to an unacceptable level. Two changes were made to
address this:
1. Instruction constructors in the `x86` package moved to an optab-based
approach. This compiles substantially faster than the verbose code
generation we had before.
2. The most verbose code-generated tests are moved under build tags and
limited to a stress test mode. Stress test builds are run on
schedule but not in regular CI.
An example of AVX-512 accelerated 16-lane MD5 is provided to demonstrate and
test the new functionality.

This makes it easier to debug avogen: when you emit invalid syntax, you can inspect the generated file to determine what went wrong, instead of having only gofmt's error to work with.
Adds a regression test based on klauspost/compress#186. This necessitated some related changes:
* Mark "RET" as a terminal instruction
* printer refactor to maintain compatibility with asmfmt
* Tweaks to other regression tests to ensure they are run correctly in CI
Updates #100#65#8
Adds support for a `CancellingInputs` instruction flag, to indicate cases like `XORQ R10, R10` where the instruction actually does not depend on the value of `R10` at all.
Closes#89
