Alexander Kanavin ba0326071e qemux86-64: build for x86-64-v3 (2013 Haswell and later) rather than Core 2 from 2006
This allows us to
- test those more recent instruction sets (AVX, AVX2, BMI1, BMI2, F16C, FMA, LZCNT, MOVBE, XSAVE)
- benefit from improved performance across the stack both in kvm-driven system emulation and when running
on real silicon.
For example, glibc:

v4 level is adding AVX-512, which is far less established, particularly Intel has famously backtracked
from supporting it in Alder Lake/Raport Lake client CPUs and AMD has only implemented it in very recent Zen4 products:
