LLVM/Clang Merges Initial AMD Zen 6 "znver6" Processor Support

Initial targeting for AMD's next-generation Zen 6 processors, identified by the "znver6" target, was merged into the LLVM/Clang compiler codebase overnight. This integration is an early development step, enabling the compiler to begin generating optimized code paths specifically for the forthcoming Zen 6 architecture. The addition of "znver6" targeting signifies preparation by both AMD and the open-source compiler community for future hardware, ensuring software development tools will be ready for these processors.
