swscale: Disable avx2 hscale 8to15 on IceLake and below due to Intel Gather
Data Sampling mitigation performance loss
Intel provided a microcode update to mitigate this security
vulnerability which has a huge negative performance impact on gather
instructions. This means that hscale 8to15 avx2, which uses gather
extensively, is no longer faster than SSSE3 on impacted CPUs.
