Add optimized functions for linear search within byte arrays
In similar vein to b6ef167564, add pg_lfind8() and pg_lfind8_le()
to search for bytes equal or less-than-or-equal to a given byte,
respectively. To abstract away platform details, add helper functions
and typedefs to simd.h.
John Naylor and Nathan Bossart, per suggestion from Andres Freund
