Gvozden Neskovic 70b258fc96 Fletcher4 implementation using avx512f instruction set
Algorithm runs 8 parallel sums, consuming 8x uint32_t elements per
loop iteration. Size alignment of main fletcher4 methods is adjusted
accordingly. New implementation is called 'avx512f'.

Note: byteswap method can be implemented more efficiently when avx512bw hardware
becomes available. Currently, it is ~ 2x slower than native method.

Table shows result of full (native) fletcher4 calculation for different buffer size:
