x86/cpufeature: Add AVX512_4VNNIW and AVX512_4FMAPS features



AVX512_4VNNIW  - Vector instructions for deep learning enhanced word
variable precision.
AVX512_4FMAPS - Vector instructions for deep learning floating-point
single precision.

These new instructions are to be used in future Intel Xeon & Xeon Phi
processors. The bits 2&3 of CPUID[level:0x07, EDX] inform that new
instructions are supported by a processor.

The spec can be found in the Intel Software Developer Manual (SDM) or in
the Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference (ISE).

Define new feature flags to enumerate the new instructions in /proc/cpuinfo
accordingly to CPUID bits and add the required xsave extensions which are
required for proper operation.
