There's no real knowledge of the cacheline size,
just prefetching one loop ahead.

For ppc64le, gcc6 does extremely poorly with the Altivec code.
Moreover, on POWER7 and POWER8, a hand-optimized Altivec version
turns out to be no faster than the revised integer version, and
therefore not worth the effort.

The revised integer version is 4 times faster than the neon version
on an AppliedMicro Mustang. Even with hand scheduling and additional
unrolling I cannot make any neon version run as fast as the integer.

Allow selection of several acceleration functions
based on the size and alignment of the buffer.
Do not require ifunc support for AVX2 acceleration.

Since the two users don't make use of the returned offset,
beyond ensuring that the entire buffer is zero, consider the
can_use_buffer_find_nonzero_offset and buffer_find_nonzero_offset
functions internal.
