Don't include the function pointer table in the code segment
in arm mode.
This shouldn't have any significant performance effect. It does
end up as a few more instructions than before, for ARM, but
only at the entry to this function, not within the fft functions
themselves.

These function pointers already existed in the ARM code. Adding them globally
allows calls to the function pointers to access arch-optimized versions of the
functions transparently.
Initialise VC1DSPContext for parser as well as for decoder.
Note, the VC-1 code doesn't actually use the function pointer yet.

The previous implementation targeted DTS Coherent Acoustics, which only
requires nbits == 4 (fft16()). This case was (and still is) linked directly
rather than being indirected through ff_fft_calc_vfp(), but now the full
range from radix-4 up to radix-65536 is available. This benefits other codecs
such as AAC and AC3.
The implementaion is based upon the C version, with each routine larger than
radix-16 calling a hierarchy of smaller FFT functions, then performing a
post-processing pass. This pass benefits a lot from loop unrolling to
counter the long pipelines in the VFP. A relaxed calling standard also
reduces the overhead of the call hierarchy, and avoiding the excessive
inlining performed by GCC probably helps with I-cache utilisation too.
I benchmarked the result by measuring the number of gperftools samples that
hit anywhere in the AAC decoder (starting from aac_decode_frame()) or
specifically in the FFT routines (fft4() to fft512() and pass()) for the
same sample AAC stream:

The previous implementation targeted DTS Coherent Acoustics, which only
requires mdct_bits == 6. This relatively small size lent itself to
unrolling the loops a small number of times, and encoding offsets
calculated at assembly time within the load/store instructions of each
iteration.
In the more general case (codecs such as AAC and AC3) much larger arrays
are used - mdct_bits == [8, 9, 11]. The old method does not scale for
these cases, so more integer registers are used with non-unrolled versions
of the loops (and with some stack spillage). The postrotation filter loop
is still unrolled by a factor of 2 to permit the double-buffering of some
VFP registers to facilitate overlap of neighbouring iterations.
I benchmarked the result by measuring the number of gperftools samples
that hit anywhere in the AAC decoder (starting from aac_decode_frame())
or specifically in ff_imdct_half_c / ff_imdct_half_vfp, for the same
example AAC stream:
Before After
Mean StdDev Mean StdDev Confidence Change
aac_decode_frame 2368.1 35.8 2117.2 35.3 100.0% +11.8%

Move the GNU as check before the arch specific asm checks since the .dn
check requires gas compatible assembler.
Disable the VC-1 motion compensation NEON asm which is the only part
using that directive. The integrated assembler in the upcoming clang 3.5
does not support .dn/.qn without plans to change that. Too much effort
to implement it while it is rarely used.

The function is assigned to a function pointer that does not have the
restrict keyword for that parameter.
This fixes compilation for MSVC builds that don't recognize "restrict",
broken since ed9625eb62.
