Review Comment:
   > Was the gcc path less performant?
   
   Yes. The compiler auto-vectorized dot-product implementation shows `~15%` 
**LOWER** throughput compared to this manually unrolled and vectorized 
implementation which uses SVE intrinsics. Here is the JMH benchmark output from 
the next revision executed on `AWS Graviton 3` instance. C implementation 
compiled with `GCC 10` and compiler flags `-O3 -march=native -funroll-loops`
   
   ```
   Benchmark                        (size)   Mode  Cnt   Score   Error   Units
   VectorUtilBenchmark.dot8s           768  thrpt   15  43.233 ± 0.639  ops/us
   VectorUtilBenchmark.simpleDot8s     768  thrpt   15  36.437 ± 0.572  ops/us
   ```
   
   Command to reproduce these results with the next revision
   
   ```
       java --enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED \
               --enable-preview \
               
-Djava.library.path="./lucene/native/build/libs/dotProduct/shared" \
               -jar 
lucene/benchmark-jmh/build/benchmarks/lucene-benchmark-jmh-11.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar 
regexp \
                "(.*)?(ot8s)" \
                -p "size=768"
   ```
   
   A benefit of manually vectorized implementation is that our implementation 
is less likely to suffer from performance regressions due to auto-vectorization 
related bugs in newer compilers.
