Use SSE2 in is_valid_ascii() where available.
Per flame graph from Jelte Fennema, COPY FROM ... USING BINARY shows
input validation taking at least 5% of the profile, so it's worth trying
to be more efficient here. With this change, validation of pure ASCII is
nearly 40% faster on contemporary Intel hardware. To make this change
legible and easier to adopt to additional architectures, use helper
functions to abstract the platform details away.
