Add a new lit-cpuid tool that detects CPU features used by some of
the tests, and use it to populate available_features in lit. For now,
this means that the test for MM/XMM register read will be run only
when the host CPU support SSE instruction set. However, this is going
to make it possible to introduce additional tests relying on AVX.

I like this approach, but as this is a novel idea, I'd like to get more opinions first. @JDevlieghere, what do you think?

81 | So if the binary is not found for any reason, this will just silently skip the relevant tests, right? Would it make sense to at least print a warning in this case? |

81 | Yes, it will skip them. I don't have an opinion on whether it's something we should warn about; but I can surely add one. |
I really like this too, it's conceptually simple, easy to use and allows us to write more tests in lit. Thanks for doing this Michał.

81 | I agree it would be good to print a warning. We're the ones building the tool so there's really no good reason for it not to be found. |
Added warnings for missing or failed lit-cpuid. Not that there any failure conditions in the program right now ;-).
