Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 is using GCC 5.4 and it does not support
target "-mavx512vpopcntdq" and cuases error
lib/dpif-netdev-lookup-avx512-gather.c:356:47:
error: attribute(target("avx512vpopcntdq")) is unknown
GCC 7+ supports vpopcntdq:
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html
The patch detects vpopcntdq and disables AVX512 when not found.
