cf63b0e1df qsimd: add support for new x86 CPU features
This adds detection for: VAES, GFNI, AVX512VBMI2, AVX512VNNI,
AVX512BITALG, AVX512VPOPCNTDQ, AVX512_4NNIW, AVX512_4FMAPS. These
features were found in the "Intel® Architecture Instruction Set
Extensions and Future Features" manual, revision 30. This commit also
adds support for RDPID (already in the main manual) and the Control-flow
Enforcement Technology, which appears in a separate Intel paper.

This new support was done by adding a new generator script so we don't
have to maintain two tables in sync, one in qsimd.cpp with the feature
names, and the other in qsimd_p.h.

Since we now need a lot more bits, it's no longer worth keeping the two
halves of the qt_cpu_features variable mostly similar to the main two
CPUID results. This commit goes back to keeping things in order, like we
used to prior to commit 6a8251a89b (Qt 5.6)

At the time of this commit, GCC 8 has macros for AVX512VPOPCNTDQ,
AVX512_4NNIW, AVX512_4FMAPS, AVX512VBMI2 and GFNI.
