cpu: new package

This CL introduces a new cpu package for CPU/platform feature detection.
The cpu package is basically a copy of `internal/cpu` of the standard library.
Revision: bf86aec25972f3a100c3aa58a6abcbcc35bdea49

This CL does not export ARM64 and PPC64 feature detection since at the moment
ARM64/PPC64 requires standard library support.

Updates golang/go#24843
