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.

As part of fixing failing third-party tests, this PR significantly
rearchitects their specification and execution.
Third-party tests are now specified in a much more flexible format allowing
more customization on a per-package level. In addition, third-party tests are
now used to auto-generate a Github Actions workflow to perform the tests in
parallel. This not only gives faster feedback on PRs, but will also allow us
to more quickly narrow down on which packages are failing. An additional
workflow also confirms that local execution of third-party tests is consistent
with the Github Actions version. This workflow only runs when tests/thirdparty
itself is changed.
Update github.com/klauspost/compress version.
Add github.com/klauspost/reedsolomon and github.com/minio/md5-simd.
Add `-mod=mod` to commands due to golang/go#44129.
Adds @klauspost's S2 implementation to the third party test suite.
The full klauspost/compress tests are slow but we only care about the S2 sub-package. Therefore this PR also adds the option to only run a subset of the package tests, controlled by a "test" parameter in the JSON configuration.
Closes#130
