The max height is currently documented as 16; the max difference per
pixel is 255, and a .8h element can easily contain 16*255, thus keep
accumulating in two .8h vectors, and just do the final accumulationat the
end. This should work for heights up to 256.
This requires a minor register renumbering in ff_pix_abs16_xy2_neon.

Using absolute-difference-accumulate does use twice the amount of
absolute-difference instructions, but avoids the need for the
uaddl and add instructions, reducing the total number of instructions
by 3.
These can be interleaved in the rest of the calculation, to avoid
tight dependencies at the end. Unfortunately, this is marginally
slower on Cortex A53, but faster on A72 and A73.

This patch fixes a wrong type of BTI landing pad when branching to
functions instantiated via the fft*_neon macro.
Although the previously employed paciasp instruction serves as a landing
pad, for the ways that this function is invoked it is the wrong type, resulting
in an unexpected termination of the running process.

checkasm benchmarks on 1.5 GHz Cortex-A72 are as follows. Note that the C
version can still outperform the NEON version in specific cases. The balance
between different code paths is stream-dependent, but in practice the best
case happens about 5% of the time, the worst case happens about 40% of the
time, and the complexity of the remaining cases fall somewhere in between.
Therefore, taking the average of the best and worst case timings is
probably a conservative estimate of the degree by which the NEON code
improves performance.

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.

Change AArch64 assembly code to use:
ret x<n>
instead of:
br x<n>
"ret x<n>" is already used in a lot of places so this patch makes it
consistent across the code base. This does not change behavior or
performance.
In addition, this change reduces the number of landing pads needed in
a subsequent patch to support the Armv8.5-A Branch Target
Identification (BTI) security feature.
