INTRODUCED

• Zero-config for all platforms with absolutely no configuration needed for header-only. Simplifies using Visual Studio as no up-front configuration or in-build custom steps are needed. Simplifies 3rd-party build systems incorporating LIBXSMM for both header-only and classic ABI.
• Updated Hello LIBXSMM, and added code examples for C/C++ and Fortran, included minimal "support" for Bazel (request). The latter is not meant to change our Makefile based build setup but can rather help to get people started who prefer Bazel.
