SIMD on Windows 🤗 🪟

This release refactors compiler attributes and intrinsics usage to make it compatible with MSVC. Most noticeably, function defined like this:

__attribute__((target("+simd")))
inline static void simsimd_cos_f32_neon(simsimd_f32_t const* a, simsimd_f32_t const* b, simsimd_size_t n, simsimd_distance_t* result) { }

Now look like this:

#pragma GCC push_options
#pragma GCC target("+simd")
#pragma clang attribute push(__attribute__((target("+simd"))), apply_to = function)

inline static void simsimd_cos_f32_neon(simsimd_f32_t const* a, simsimd_f32_t const* b, simsimd_size_t n, simsimd_distance_t* result) { }

#pragma clang attribute pop
#pragma GCC pop_options

Thanks to that SimSIMD on Windows is gonna be just as fast as on Linux and MacOS 🤗 🪟
