Neon support

[jianshu93]

Dear Blend team,

It turns out that on M series MAC, the avx2 and sse4 was not supported but I learned that minimap2 support it via see2neon. Any possiblity to add support for it?

Compiling error:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make -C src
/opt/homebrew/bin/gcc-14 -c -g -Wall -O2 -Wc++-compat -march=native -mavx2 -msse4.1 -DHAVE_KALLOC main.c -o main.o
gcc-14: error: unrecognized command-line option '-mavx2'
gcc-14: error: unrecognized command-line option '-msse4.1'
make[1]: *** [main.o] Error 1
make: *** [blend] Error 2

Best,

Jianshu
