Add support for ARM dot product instructions

The sdot instruction computes (and accumulates) a signed dot product,
which is quite handy for Stockfish's NNUE code. The instruction is
optional for Armv8.2 and Armv8.3, and mandatory for Armv8.4 and above.

The commit adds a new 'arm-dotprod' architecture with enabled dot
product support. It also enables dot product support for the existing
'apple-silicon' architecture, which is at least Armv8.5.

The following local speed test was performed on an Apple M1 with
ARCH=apple-silicon. I had to remove CPU pinning from the benchmark
script. However, the results were still consistent: Checking both
binaries against themselves reported a speedup of +0.0000 and +0.0005,
respectively.

```
Result of 100 runs
==================
base (...ish.037ef3e1) =    1917997  +/- 7152
test (...fish.dotprod) =    2159682  +/- 9066
diff                   =    +241684  +/- 2923

speedup        = +0.1260
P(speedup > 0) =  1.0000

CPU: 10 x arm
Hyperthreading: off
```
