This eases actual development of the assembly functions, by only
allowing extension instructions within the sections that explicitly
enable them, instead of having all extensions enabled everywhere.

Favour left aligned columns over right aligned columns.
In principle either style should be ok, but some of the cases
easily lead to incorrect indentation in the surrounding code (see
a couple of cases fixed up in the preceding patch), and show up in
automatic indentation correction attempts.

Some functions have slightly different indentation styles; try
to match the surrounding code.
libavcodec/aarch64/vc1dsp_neon.S is skipped here, as it intentionally
uses a layered indentation style to visually show how different
unrolled/interleaved phases fit together.

This is not actually used for anything. The configure check causes the
CPU feature flag to be set, but nothing consumes it at all.
While AArch64 does have VFP, it is only used for the scalar C code.
Conversely, it is still possible to disable VFP, by changing the
C compiler flags as before (though that only makes sense for an
hypothetical non-standard Armv8 platform without VFP).
Note that this retains the "vfp" option flag, for backward
compatibility and on the very remote but theoretically possible chance
that FFmpeg actually makes use of it in the future.
AV_CPU_FLAG_VFP is retained as it is actually used by AArch32.
For now, there's not much value in this since Clang don't support
enabling the dotprod or i8mm features with either .arch_extension
or .arch (it has to be enabled by the base arch flags passed to
the compiler). But it may be supported in the future.

These are available since ARMv8.4-a and ARMv8.6-a respectively,
but can also be available optionally since ARMv8.2-a.
Check if ".arch armv8.2-a" and ".arch_extension {dotprod,i8mm}" are
supported, and check if the instructions can be assembled.
Current clang versions fail to support the dotprod and i8mm
features in the .arch_extension directive, but do support them
if enabled with -march=armv8.4-a on the command line. (Curiously,
lowering the arch level with ".arch armv8.2-a" doesn't make the
extensions unavailable if they were enabled with -march; if that
changes, Clang should also learn to support these extensions via
.arch_extension for them to remain usable here.)

There are no particular reasons to force the compiler to use the same
register as output and input operand. This forces an extra MOV
instruction if the input value needs to be reused after the swap.
In most cases, this makes no differences, as the compiler will seleect
the same register for both operands either way.

The fastest fast Fourier transform in not just the west, but the world,
now for the most popular toy ISA.
On a high level, it follows the design of the AVX2 version closely,
with the exception that the input is slightly less permuted as we don't have
to do lane switching with the input on double 4pt and 8pt.
On a low level, the lack of subadd/addsub instructions REALLY penalizes
any attempt at writing an FFT. That single register matters a lot,
and reloading it simply takes unacceptably long.
In x86 land, vendors would've noticed developers need this.
In ARM land, you get a badly designed complex multiplication instruction
we cannot use, that's not present on 95% of devices. Because only
compilers matter, right?
Future optimization options are very few, perhaps better register
management to use more ld1/st1s.

This avoids build errors if such features are enabled while targeting
another binary format. (Using such features on other platforms
might require some other form of signaling/setup though, but
the ELF specific .note section isn't applicable at least.)

Add Branch Target Identifiers (BTIs) to all functions defined in
AArch64 assembly files. Most of the BTI landing pads are added
automatically by the 'function' macro.
BTI support is turned on or off at compile time based on the presence
of the __ARM_FEATURE_BTI_DEFAULT feature macro.
A binary compiled with BTI support can be executed on an Armv8-A
processor without BTI support because the instructions are defined in
NOP space.

On windows and darwin (and modern android), the x18 register is reserved

As of LLVM r368102, Clang will set a pointer tag in bits 56-63 of the
address of a global when compiling with -fsanitize=hwaddress. This requires
an adjustment to assembly code that takes the address of such globals: the
code cannot use the regular R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 relocation to refer
to the global, since the tag would take the address out of range. Instead,
the code must use the non-checking (_NC) variant of the relocation (the
link-time check is substituted by a runtime check).
This change makes the necessary adjustment in the movrel macro, where it is
needed when compiling with -fsanitize=hwaddress.

As .rodata isn't one of the default created sections for COFF, it was
created as a read-write data section. By using the default .rdata
section name for COFF, it automatically becomes a read-only data section.
The existing ".section .rodata" works as intended for ELF though.
This is based on an original patch and diagnose by Tom Tan
