Commit 792752af4e added infrastructure for using AVX-512 intrinsic
functions, and this commit uses that infrastructure to optimize
visibilitymap_count(). Specificially, a new pg_popcount_masked()
function is introduced that applies a bitmask to every byte in the
buffer prior to calculating the population count, which is used to
filter out the all-visible or all-frozen bits as needed. Platforms
without AVX-512 support should also see a nice speedup due to the
reduced number of calls to a function pointer.
