QString: replace #if with if constexpr for the x86 ISA extensions
Because it looks like it works in all our compilers and gets us at least basic syntax checking. This is important for me because I usually compile with a very high -march= flag (currently, tigerlake) and would not see any syntax errors I may introduce. Whenever possible, this uses a return inside the if constexpr and then has the fallback code simply eliminated, but still fully compiled. Almost all changes are basic reindentation, except for a few variables that must be declared above the block in question, plus some shenanigans with the variables in qt_to_latin1_internal(): we want to avoid emitting multiple loads for the same constants, so we force the compiler to reuse the shrunk version of the 256-bit registers. The non-AVX2 code will receive a few minor face-lifts in the next few commits. Those don't intend to actually improve performance by much. The real work will happen in the AVX2 code later. I dropped the -Os code because I don't have the spare time to test it and maintain it; if there's interest, we can simply disable the entire set vector optimization set.
