Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
-------------------------------------------------

+- For X86 target, -march=skylake-avx512, -march=icelake-client,
+ -march=icelake-server, -march=cascadelake, -march=cooperlake will default to
+ not using 512-bit zmm registers in vectorized code unless 512-bit intrinsics
+ are used in the source code. 512-bit operations are known to cause the CPUs
+ to run at a lower frequency which can impact performance. This behavior can be
+ changed by passing -mprefer-vector-width=512 on the command line.
New Compiler Flags
