Remove unused functions. Specifically, vnic_set_rss_key() is
obsolete. enic_{add,del}_vlan() has never been supported in the
firmware. And, remove vnic_rss.c altogether as it becomes empty. These
were discovered by cppcheck.

Rather than relying on the target machine architecture, use the
size of a pointer from the compiler to determine if we are 64-bits
or not. This allows correct behaviour when you pass -m32 as a compile
option. It also allows us to use this value repeatedly throughout the
repo rather than continually testing for the sizeof(void*).

Add the vectorized version of the no-scatter Rx handler. It aims to
process 8 descriptors per loop using AVX2 SIMD instructions. This
handler is in its own file enic_rxtx_vec_avx2.c, and makefile and
meson.build are modified to compile it when the compiler supports
AVX2. Under ideal conditions, the vectorized handler reduces
cycles/packet by more than 30%, when compared against the no-scatter
Rx handler. Most implementation ideas come from i40e's AVX2 based
handler, so credit goes to its authors.
At this point, the new handler is meant for field trials, and is not
selected by default. So add a new devarg enable-avx2-rx to allow the
user to request the use of the new handler. When enable-avx2-rx=1, the
driver will consider using the new handler.
Also update the guide doc and introduce the vectorized handler.
