move to array simd

[Ezrashaw]

As part of compiler-team/MCP#621, this repo must be updated to use the new-style array fields instead.

Note that a very recent nightly is needed which fixed a bug where inline assembly could not be used with the array style.

Note also that this cannot be pulled to rust-lang/rust until beta updates with the bugfix.

Gah, different architectures cause pain here.

@Ezrashaw With https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110672 merged a while ago, are we good to go on this again?

Yeah, the technical side of this pull request should be good to go. Personally, I haven't been contributing to Rust recently, so if someone wants to take this up, then free totally free. However, I'll try to find some time to complete this PR in maybe a week or so.

This transition has already been done in a different PR, so closing this
