SIMD: Add a haswell sub-architecture selection to our support
As the comment says, Haswell is a nice divider and is a good optimization target. I'm using -march=core-avx2 instead of -march=haswell because the latter form was only added to GCC 4.9 but we still support 4.7 and that has support for AVX2. This commit changes the AVX2-optimized code in QtGui to Haswell- optimized instead. That means, for example, that qdrawhelper_avx2.cpp can now use the FMA instructions.
