CPUID is part of x86_64 ISA to query CPU features. In order to determine
AVX512F ISA extension, EAX and ECX needs to be set to 7 and 0
respectively before invoking `cpuid` instruction. This commit also
removes inline assembly for __cpuid in favor of using compiler provided
intrinsic functions. Both GCC and clang provides __cpuid like function
via __cpuid_count intrinsic.
This commit also creates a portable wrapper over compiler intrinsic
functions, __cpuid and __cpuidex. `cpuid' provides base level ISA query
and `cpuidex` provides extra extension information like AVX512F. These
wrappers lean towards MSVC like API.

Despite what the docs say Gtk::HScale(0,1,s) with a step-size
s > 0 has a range [0, 1 - s]. GTKMM does allow for a step-size
of zero, which also works around this issue.
This works because gtkmm sidesteps gtk_hscale_new_with_range() which
would fail with g_return_val_if_fail (step != 0.0, NULL);
The reason for this is that gtkmm creates an Adjustment with a
page-size = step-size:
```
Adjustment* adjustment = manage(new Adjustment(min, min, max, step, 10 * step, step));
```
and `gtk_adjustment_configure` limits the range:
```
value = MIN (value, upper - page_size);
```
In many cases optional sidechain inputs are not used.
Previously sidechain ports were created, but remained
unconnected and silence was passed to the plugin's key input.
Plugins can detected if a pin is connected. Some plugins
(e.g. VST3 Waves SSL Comp) activate the sidechain processing
automatically when depending in connection.
It is more common that a user does not want to use an external
sidechain, and if they want they should use the pin-dialog
to connect it. So leaving it off by default is sensible.

This is in preparation to allow to skip adding sidechain ports
by default. When a user later adds the SC input ports, it is
convenient to connect the pins just like they are when they
are connected when instantiating the plugin (via reset_map).
Ignore sidechain pins, when no sidechain ports are present.
Otherwise a plugin with 1 audio input and 1 sidechain input
would match a stereo track when the sidechain port is not present.
These tests use reference files that were generated with a particular
value for superclock_ticks_per_second. The default for that has changed
since the last time the reference files were updated though, causing
tests to fail. Rather than updating the reference files for the new
default value, this makes the test not depend on the default value by
hardcoding the value that was used to generate the reference files.
