Add IBM Z (s390x) support

Add support for the IBM Z (s390x) architecture leveraging the GCC and
Clang compiler intrinsics which are similar to what is available for
IBM Power with the Altivec extension. SIMD hardware is available on
IBM Z starting with IBM z13. However, the XSIMD support requires at
least IBM z14 to also support float vectors.
