ggml : add native AVX512-FP16 support for F16 operations (#20529)

The overall benchmark speed remains almost the same because the CPU is
now calculating faster than the RAM can deliver the data. (See perf stat
results below showing 2.7 billion fewer instructions).

Also note that this path will be only enabled for native build or with
custom flags.
