[X86] Split off x86-64-v* tuning flags
ClosedPublic

Summary

Noticed when reviewing D143786, we are currently inheriting the x86-64-v* tuning flags from specific CPUs when really we need these to be a mixture of common traits and tuning to avoid specific severe regressions (e.g. popcnt false dependencies).

I think this is safe to remove by v4.

I thought this was fixed by skylake?

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/33216 suggests its still a problem on Skylake/CannonLake as well.

says fixed by cannonlake so should be good to drop by v4 (definitely fixed by ICL).

It looks like we can tweak the tuning flags further once we've split them from the SNB/HSW/SKX variants - I'd like to commit this as an initial NFC patch and then make adjustments (drop TuningSlow3OpsLEA / TuningPOPCNTFalseDeps from X86-64-v4) as follow up reviewed patches once we have better test coverage.
