[PATCH v4 0/4] hash: add SVE support for bulk key lookup

[Yoan Picchi <yoan.picchi@arm.com>]

This patchset adds SVE support for the signature comparison in the cuckoo
hash lookup and improves the existing NEON implementation. These
optimizations required changes to the data format and signature of the
relevant functions to support dense hitmasks (no padding) and having the
primary and secondary hitmasks interleaved instead of being in their own
array each.

Benchmarking the cuckoo hash perf test, I observed this effect on speed:
  There are no significant changes on Intel (ran on Sapphire Rapids)
  Neon is up to 7-10% faster (ran on ampere altra)
  128b SVE is about 3-5% slower than the optimized neon (ran on a graviton
    3 cloud instance)
  256b SVE is about 0-3% slower than the optimized neon (ran on a graviton
    3 cloud instance)

V2->V3:
  Remove a redundant if in the test
  Change a couple int to uint16_t in compare_signatures_dense
  Several codding-style fix

V3->V4:
  Rebase
