Channel coupling is an optional AC-3 feature that increases quality by
combining high frequency information from multiple channels into a
single channel. The per-channel high frequency information is sent with
less accuracy in both the frequency and time domains. This allows more
bits to be used for lower frequencies while preserving enough
information to reconstruct the high frequencies.
This makes the AC3 encoder use the shared fixed-point MDCT rather
than its own implementation. The checksum changes are due to
different rounding in the MDCT.

This increases the accuracy of coefficients, leading to improved quality.
Rescaling of the coefficients to full 25-bit accuracy is done rather than
offsetting the exponent values. This requires coefficient scaling to be done
before determining the rematrixing strategy. Also, the rematrixing strategy
calculation must use 64-bit math to prevent overflow due to the higher
precision coefficients.
AC3DSPContext.ac3_max_msb_abs_int16() finds the maximum MSB of the absolute
value of each element in an array of int16_t.

s->windowed_samples will always have a range of [-32767,32767] due to the
window function, so the return value from log2_tab() will always be in the
range [0,14].

instead of doing it separately in 2 different functions.
This makes float AC-3 encoding approx. 3-7% faster overall.
Also, the coefficient conversion can now be easily SIMD-optimized.
