x86_64: Add strstr function with 512-bit EVEX
Adding a 512-bit EVEX version of strstr. The algorithm works as follows:

(1) We spend a few cycles at the begining to peek into the needle. We
locate an edge in the needle (first occurance of 2 consequent distinct
characters) and also store the first 64-bytes into a zmm register.

(2) We search for the edge in the haystack by looking into one cache
line of the haystack at a time. This avoids having to read past a page
boundary which can cause a seg fault.

(3) If an edge is found in the haystack we first compare the first
64-bytes of the needle (already stored in a zmm register) before we
proceed with a full string compare performed byte by byte.

Benchmarking results: (old = strstr_sse2_unaligned, new = strstr_avx512)

Geometric mean of all benchmarks: new / old =  0.66

Difficult skiptable(0) : new / old =  0.02
Difficult skiptable(1) : new / old =  0.01
