These are ported from the ARM version; it is essentially a 1:1
port with no extra added features, but with some hand tuning
(especially for the plain copy/avg functions). The ARM version
isn't very register starved to begin with, so there's not much
to be gained from having more spare registers here - we only
avoid having to clobber callee-saved registers.

These are generally about as fast as the corresponding ARM
routines on the same CPU (at least on the A53), in most cases
marginally faster.
The speedup vs C code is pretty much the same as for the 32 bit
case; on the A53 it's around 6-13x for ther larger 8tap filters.
The exact speedup varies a little, since the C versions generally
don't end up exactly as slow/fast as on 32 bit.

The filter coefficients are signed values, where the product of the
multiplication with one individual filter coefficient doesn't
overflow a 16 bit signed value (the largest filter coefficient is
127). But when the products are accumulated, the resulting sum can
overflow the 16 bit signed range. Instead of accumulating in 32 bit,
we accumulate the largest product (either index 3 or 4) last with a
saturated addition.
(The VP8 MC asm does something similar, but slightly simpler, by
accumulating each half of the filter separately. In the VP9 MC
filters, each half of the filter can also overflow though, so the
largest component has to be handled individually.)

For the larger 8tap filters, the speedup vs C code is around 5-14x.
This is significantly faster than libvpx's implementation of the same
functions, at least when comparing the put_8tap_smooth_64 functions
(compared to vpx_convolve8_horiz_neon and vpx_convolve8_vert_neon from
libvpx).
Absolute runtimes from checkasm:
Cortex A7 A8 A9 A53
vp9_put_8tap_smooth_64h_neon: 20150.3 14489.4 19733.6 10863.7
libvpx vpx_convolve8_horiz_neon: 52623.3 19736.4 21907.7 25027.7
vp9_put_8tap_smooth_64v_neon: 14455.0 12303.9 13746.4 9628.9
libvpx vpx_convolve8_vert_neon: 42090.0 17706.2 17659.9 16941.2
Thus, on the A9, the horizontal filter is only marginally faster than
libvpx, while our version is significantly faster on the other cores,
and the vertical filter is significantly faster on all cores. The
difference is especially large on the A7.
The libvpx implementation does the accumulation in 32 bit, which
probably explains most of the differences.

This makes it match the pattern already used for VP8 MC functions.
This also makes the signature match ffmpeg's version of these
functions, easing porting of code in both directions.

We need more information from last/cur_frame than from reference
buffers, so we can use a simplified structure for reference buffers,
and then store mvs and segmentation map information in last/cur.
This prepares the decoder for frame threading support.

They are not measurably faster on x86, they might be somewhat faster on
other platforms due to missing emu edge SIMD, but the gain is not large
enough to justify the added complexity.
