Adds support for accelerated sorting with x86-simd-sort (#127936)

Adds x86-simd-sort as a submodule to accelerate sorting for 32-bit and 64-bit datatypes when AVX2 or AVX512 are available.

For contiguous data, this can be over a 10x speedup for large arrays. For discontiguous data, it can give over a 4x speedup with larger arrays. These benchmarks were gathered on a Skylake system (7900x), limited to 8 threads.

Note that the int32_t sort is accelerated by FBGEMM's radix sort for larger arrays, but this only handles contiguous data and in one sorting direction.
