perf: native AVX512BW masked load/store for 8/16-bit integers

8/16-bit int masked load/store on AVX512BW previously fell through to the
branchy common scalar fallback because xsimd_avx512bw.hpp had no
load_masked/store_masked overloads. Add four requires_arch<avx512bw>
overloads (runtime batch_bool + compile-time batch_bool_constant, load +
store) constrained to sizeof(T)==1||2, emitting the native vmovdqu8 /
vmovdqu16 predicated moves (2 instructions, no branch).

The size branch lives only in the runtime overloads; the constant
overloads delegate via mask.as_batch_bool(), which also avoids
batch_bool_constant::mask() (return type int) truncating a 64-lane int8
compile-time mask.

32/64-bit stays on the avx512f path; SSE/AVX2 8/16-bit scalar fallback is
hardware-forced and unchanged.
