Use an explicit whitelist for what features are actually stable and can be
enabled.

This commit stabilizes the SIMD in Rust for the x86/x86_64 platforms. Notably
this commit is stabilizing:
* The `std::arch::{x86, x86_64}` modules and the intrinsics contained inside.
* The `is_x86_feature_detected!` macro in the standard library
* The `#[target_feature(enable = "...")]` attribute
* The `#[cfg(target_feature = "...")]` matcher
Stabilization of the module and intrinsics were primarily done in
rust-lang-nursery/stdsimd#414 and the two attribute stabilizations are done in
this commit. The standard library is also tweaked a bit with the new way that
stdsimd is integrated.
Note that other architectures like `std::arch::arm` are not stabilized as part
of this commit, they will likely stabilize in the future after they've been
implemented and fleshed out. Similarly the `std::simd` module is also not being
stabilized in this commit, only `std::arch`. Finally, nothing related to `__m64`
is stabilized in this commit either (MMX), only SSE and up types and intrinsics
are stabilized.
Closes #29717
Closes #44839
Closes #48556

Pulls in a redesigned `std::simd` module as well as a replacement for the
`is_target_feature_detected!` macro
|

This commit imports the `stdsimd` crate into the standard library,
creating an `arch` and `simd` module inside of both libcore and libstd.
Both of these modules are **unstable** and will continue to be so until
RFC 2335 is stabilized.
As a brief recap, the modules are organized as so:
* `arch` contains all current architectures with intrinsics, for example
`std::arch::x86`, `std::arch::x86_64`, `std::arch::arm`, etc. These
modules contain all of the intrinsics defined for the platform, like
`_mm_set1_epi8`.
* In the standard library, the `arch` module also exports a
`is_target_feature_detected` macro which performs runtime detection to
determine whether a target feature is available at runtime.
* The `simd` module contains experimental versions of strongly-typed
lane-aware SIMD primitives, to be fully fleshed out in a future RFC.
The main purpose of this commit is to start pulling in all these
intrinsics and such into the standard library on nightly and allow
testing and such. This'll help allow users to easily kick the tires and
see if intrinsics work as well as allow us to test out all the
infrastructure for moving the intrinsics into the standard library.
