I've committed initial optimisation for AMD Ryzen. Before these
commits, GMP worked fine but was only recognised as a plain x86-64 CPU.
We now get a GMPbench score of about 1250 per GHz per core, which is
among the best results seen: https://gmplib.org/gmpbench.html
AMD decided for an integer multiplier with a throughput of 1 every 2nd
cycle, which is good but not optimal. There are ample non-multiply
integer execution resources in these CPUs, so with the committed code we
sustain one accumulated 128-bit product every 2nd cycle, i.e., we
saturate the multiplier.
