The reason is this is easier for PIC code (in particular on darwin...).
Keep the old names as pointers (static in cabac_functions.h so gcc
knows these are just immediate offsets) so the c code can nicely stay the same
(alternatively could use offsets directly in the functions needing the
tables). This should produce the same code as before with non-pic and better
code (confirmed) with pic.
The assembly uses the new table but still won't work for PIC case.

This fixes standalone compilation of some decoders with --disable-optimizations.
cabac.h defines some inline functions that use symbols from cabac.c. Without
optimizations these inline functions are not eliminated and linking fails with
references to non-existing symbols.
Splitting the inline functions off into their own header and only #including
it in the places where the inline functions are used allows #including cabac.h
from anywhere without ill effects.
