This PR improves the performance of partitioning by leveraging AVX-512 VBMI2 instructions. The optimization requires building FAISS with
-DFAISS_OPT_LEVEL=avx512_spr. Benchmarks (e.g.,benchs/bench_partition.py) show significant speedups compared toavx2andavx512opt levels, both of which use AVX2 in this case.
