Stefano Brivio 213c397492 passt, pasta: Run-time selection of AVX2 build
Build-time selection of AVX2 flags and routines is not practical for
distributions, but limiting AVX2 usage to checksum routines with
specific run-time detection doesn't allow for easy performance gains
from auto-vectorisation of batched packet handling routines.

For x86_64, build non-AVX2 and AVX2 binaries, and implement a simple
wrapper replacing the current executable with the AVX2 build if it's
available, and if AVX2 is supported by the current CPU.
