TODO: Implement a full set of kernels for x86

Platforms: x86, different variants: 32/64bit, SSE*/AVX* etc.

Coding time: XL
Experimentation time: XL
Skill required: XL

Prerequisite reading:
  doc/kernels.txt

Model to follow/adapt:
  internal/kernel_neon.h

We need a full set of kernels for x86 architectures.
By "a full set" we mean: covering all the variants of x86 instruction sets,
and covering our different cases, by decreasing order of importance:
 1. GEMM, BitDepthSetting::L8R8
 2. GEMM, BitDepthSetting::L7R5
 3. GEMV, BitDepthSetting::L8R8 (that one may be deprecated when we eventually
    implement GEMV more efficiently as a fully specialized operation)

This generally has to be done separately for 32bit vs 64bit because an
efficient GEMM kernel generally needs to use all the register space that it
can get, and:
 - That register space is generally different on 32bit vs 64bit;
 - C++ compilers have a hard time doing good register allocation for
   intrinsics-using code that's very tight on vector registers, so in
   practice we generally prefer to implement kernels in (inline) assembly.

At the moment we have a couple of kernels targeting SSE4 for the
(GEMM, BitDepthSetting::L8R8) case, contributed by Intel.
We need to cover the other x86 instruction set variants and to cover the
other cases, at least the L7R5 case.

Labelling this TODO item as XL because unless
one knows the CPU inside out (only CPU vendors do), it generally takes a lot
of trial-and-error to arrive to an optimally performing solution, and in any
case, given the number of x86 different instruction set flavors, the end
result will be a large body of assembly code.
