Description
The file
boost/predef/hardware/simd/x86.h
has macros for detection of AVX and AVX-2 instructions, but not AVX-512.
Could it be added? Or will it be too much trouble since AVX-512 is not a monolithic instruction set?

Research direction
Start by reading boost/predef/hardware/simd/x86.h and the existing AVX and AVX-2 detection macros. Determine how AVX-512’s non-monolithic instruction sets should be represented within this header, then verify that the resulting detection follows the project’s existing conventions.
