util/bufferiszero: Remove AVX512 variant

Thanks to early checks in the inline buffer_is_zero wrapper, the SIMD
routines are invoked much more rarely in normal use when most buffers
are non-zero. This makes use of AVX512 unprofitable, as it incurs extra
frequency and voltage transition periods during which the CPU operates
at reduced performance, as described in
