Improve crc32c() performance on lengths >= 512 bytes by using
crc32_lsb_vpclmul_avx512() instead of crc32c_x86_3way(), when the CPU
supports VPCLMULQDQ and has a "good" implementation of AVX-512. For now
that means AMD Zen 4 and later, and Intel Sapphire Rapids and later.
Pass crc32_lsb_vpclmul_avx512() the table of constants needed to make it
use the CRC-32C polynomial.
Rationale: VPCLMULQDQ performance has improved on newer CPUs, making
crc32_lsb_vpclmul_avx512() faster than crc32c_x86_3way(), even though
crc32_lsb_vpclmul_avx512() is designed for generic 32-bit CRCs and does
not utilize x86_64's dedicated CRC-32C instructions.
Performance results for len=4096 using crc_kunit:

That being said, in the above benchmarks the ZMM registers are "warm",
so they don't quite tell the whole story. While significantly improved
from older Intel CPUs, Intel still has ~2000 ns of ZMM warm-up time
where 512-bit instructions execute 4 times more slowly than they
normally do. In contrast, AMD does better and has virtually zero ZMM
warm-up time (at most ~60 ns). Thus, while this change is always
beneficial on AMD, strictly speaking there are cases in which it is not
beneficial on Intel, e.g. a small number of 512-byte messages with
"cold" ZMM registers. But typically, it is beneficial even on Intel.
Note that on AMD Zen 3--5, crc32c() performance could be further
improved with implementations that interleave crc32q and VPCLMULQDQ
instructions. Unfortunately, it appears that a different such
implementation would be optimal on *each* of these microarchitectures.
Such improvements are left for future work. This commit just improves
the way that we choose the implementations we already have.
