dpif-netdev: Call cpuid for x86 isa availability.

DPIF AVX512 optimizations currently rely on DPDK availability while
they can be used without DPDK.
Besides, checking for availability of some isa only has to be done once
and won't change while a OVS process runs.

Resolve isa availability in constructors by using a simplified query
based on cpuid API that comes from the compiler.

Note: this also fixes the check on BMI2 availability: DPDK had a bug
for this isa, see https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=aae3037ab1e0.
