AVX512 adds 16 more vector registers (ZMM16-31) and those are saved full-sized in a separate region. But `RegisterSaver::save_live_registers()` doesn't do anything special for `ZMM0-15` and their upper halves are lost (though there's space reserved for them in the frame).

Thanks for the reviews, Sandhya and Vladimir.
