- Sets up all the various entrypoints for `bgemv`
- Adds `bscal` for use in the `bgemv` interface
- Adds test cases for comparing `sgemv` and `bgemv`
- Adds generic kernels for `bgemv_n` and `bgemv_t` which are accurate
enough to pass above tests

Setting up all the infrastructure for BGEMM support in OpenBLAS, hopefully I found all the right places.

driver/others/parameter.c does not get build during DYNAMIC_ARCH, thus,
do not declare its symbols. This will make the build fail early and in
an obvious way if functions are trying to use these symbols.

1. Add a new API -- sbgemv to support bfloat16 based gemv
2. Implement a generic kernel for sbgemv
3. Implement an avx512-bf16 based kernel for sbgemv

This patch fixes compilation errors due to recent renaming from SH to SB
with BUILD_BFLOAT16.

1. Added bfloat16 based dot as new API: shdot
2. Implemented generic kernel and cooperlake-specific (AVX512-BF16) kernel for shdot
3. Added 4 conversion APIs for bfloat16 data type <=> single/double: shstobf16 shdtobf16 sbf16tos dbf16tod
     shstobf16 -- convert single float array to bfloat16 array
     shdtobf16 -- convert double float array to bfloat16 array
     sbf16tos  -- convert bfloat16 array to single float array
     dbf16tod  -- convert bfloat16 array to double float array
4. Implemented generic kernels for all 4 conversion APIs, and cooperlake-specific kernel for shstobf16 and shdtobf16
5. Update level1 thread facilitate functions and macros to support multi-threading for these new APIs
6. Fix Cooperlake platform detection/specify issue when under dynamic-arch building
7. Change the typedef of bfloat16 from unsigned short to more strict uint16_t

This patch adds support for bfloat16 data type matrix multiplication kernel.
For architectures that don't support bfloat16, it is defined as unsigned short
(2 bytes).  Default unroll sizes can be changed as per architecture as done for
SGEMM and for now 8 and 4 are used for M and N.  Size of ncopy/tcopy can be
changed as per architecture requirement and for now, size 2 is used.

Added shgemm in kernel/power/KERNEL.POWER9 and tested in powerpc64le and
powerpc64.  For reference, added a small test compare_sgemm_shgemm.c to compare
sgemm and shgemm output.

This patch does not cover OpenBLAS test, benchmark and lapack tests for shgemm.
Complex type implementation can be discussed and added once this is approved.

The Ximatcopy functions create a copy of the input matrix
although they seem to work inplace. The new routines
XIMATCOPY_K_YY perform the operations inplace if the leading
dimension does not change.
