Description

We should allow building without SIMD behind a feature flag.  SIMD has caused issues for some people, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5613

I could not re-produce this but it would be good to provide a solution to users like this.

Also, this would inch us closer to building on stable again.
