...instead of argv[0], which might or might not contain a valid path
to the executable itself. Instead of mangling argv[0], use the same
link to find out if we're already running the AVX2 build where
supported.
Alternatively, we could use execvpe(), but that might result in
running a different installed version, in case e.g. the set of
binaries is present in both /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin, with both
being in $PATH.

Reported by Coverity: if we fail to run the AVX2 version, once
execve() fails, we had already replaced argv[0] with the new
stack-allocated path string, and that's then passed back to
main(). Use a static variable instead.

Build-time selection of AVX2 flags and routines is not practical for
distributions, but limiting AVX2 usage to checksum routines with
specific run-time detection doesn't allow for easy performance gains
from auto-vectorisation of batched packet handling routines.
For x86_64, build non-AVX2 and AVX2 binaries, and implement a simple
wrapper replacing the current executable with the AVX2 build if it's
available, and if AVX2 is supported by the current CPU.
