Add support for multiple microarchitectures in single binary

 * compiler -march= parameter is changed from native to corei7
   so code is always genereted with instructions which are available
   on the Nehalem microarchitecture (up to SSE4.2)

 * compiler -mtune= parameter is added so code is optimized for
   corei7-avx which equals to Sandy Bridge microarchitecture

 * set of macros is added which allows run-time detection of available
   cpu instructions (e.g. clib_cpu_supports_avx())

 * set of macros is added which allows us to clone graph node funcitons
   where cloned function is optmized for different microarchitecture
   Those macros are using following attributes:
     __attribute__((flatten))
     __attribute__((target("arch=core-avx2)))

   I.e. If applied to foo_node_fn() macro will generate cloned
   functions foo_node_fn_avx2() and foo_node_fn_avx512() (future)
   It will also generate function void * foo_node_fn_multiarch_select()
   which detects available instruction set and returns pointer to the
   best matching function clone.
