Motivation for this change

Add BLIS optimized for AMD Zen CPUs.

We compile specifically for Zen:

  • Zen/Zen2 are not included in the x86_64 or amd64 configurations.
  • Including them breaks AMD BLIS in other places, since some functions
    have Zen-specific definitions that fail on other platforms.

Non-Zen CI runners will succeed when they are Haswell or later, since
a Haswell kernel is compiled as a dependency.

Tested: building numpy against AMD BLIS.

This is a resubmission of #92981.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

I'm on vacation for a while and haven't had time to review this, but perhaps @matthewbauer could take a look.
