"MongoDB 5.0 requires use of the AVX instruction set, available on select Intel and AMD processors."

While most recent CPUs support this, some lower end CPUs do not which produces an invalid opcode when run. mongodb compiled without the default "sandbridge" experimental-optimization flag runs on such machines. Allow the user to override this at his own risk.

Currently testing with unifi 8.1.113 with mongodb 6 on a Intel N5105.

I've been running this for a few weeks without any obvious issues. Officially upstream doesn't support this, but there will probably be a few users who will run into this upon 24.05's release.

Starting with mongodb 5, the default build produces binaries that throw a trap
invalid opcode on machines without the avx cpu flag. While most modern cpus
support this flag, some recent lower end Intel CPUs (N5105) do not. Allow
mongodb to build without such flags.
