The filter coefficients are signed values, where the product of the
multiplication with one individual filter coefficient doesn't
overflow a 16 bit signed value (the largest filter coefficient is
127). But when the products are accumulated, the resulting sum can
overflow the 16 bit signed range. Instead of accumulating in 32 bit,
we accumulate the largest product (either index 3 or 4) last with a
saturated addition.
(The VP8 MC asm does something similar, but slightly simpler, by
accumulating each half of the filter separately. In the VP9 MC
filters, each half of the filter can also overflow though, so the
largest component has to be handled individually.)

For the larger 8tap filters, the speedup vs C code is around 5-14x.
This is significantly faster than libvpx's implementation of the same
functions, at least when comparing the put_8tap_smooth_64 functions
(compared to vpx_convolve8_horiz_neon and vpx_convolve8_vert_neon from
libvpx).
Absolute runtimes from checkasm:
Cortex A7 A8 A9 A53
vp9_put_8tap_smooth_64h_neon: 20150.3 14489.4 19733.6 10863.7
libvpx vpx_convolve8_horiz_neon: 52623.3 19736.4 21907.7 25027.7
vp9_put_8tap_smooth_64v_neon: 14455.0 12303.9 13746.4 9628.9
libvpx vpx_convolve8_vert_neon: 42090.0 17706.2 17659.9 16941.2
Thus, on the A9, the horizontal filter is only marginally faster than
libvpx, while our version is significantly faster on the other cores,
and the vertical filter is significantly faster on all cores. The
difference is especially large on the A7.
The libvpx implementation does the accumulation in 32 bit, which
probably explains most of the differences.

This avoids SIMD-optimized functions having to sign-extend their
line size argument manually to be able to do pointer arithmetic.
Also adjust parameter names to be "stride" everywhere.

GNU as evaluates true as '-1' while Apple's variant and llvm's internal
assembler evaluate it as '1'. The best way to avoid this madness is to
eliminate boolean expressions instead of trying to fix it with
preprocessor directives. Use a direct formula to calculate the
required temporary space on the stack in
ff_put_vp8_{epel,bilin}{4,8,16}_h[246]v[246]_armv6().
Fixes a checkasm segfault in vp8dsp.mc when using llvm's internal
assembler for a non-Apple target.
Restore alphabetical order in lists, break overly long lines, do some
prettyprinting, add some explanatory section comments, group parts
together that belong together logically.
Quite a bit faster than int32_to_float_fmul_array8_c calling
ff_int32_to_float_fmul_scalar_neon through FmtConvertContext.

Interesting are the differences between
int32_to_float_fmul_array8_neon_c and int32_to_float_fmul_array8_neon.
The former is current behaviour of calling
ff_int32_to_float_fmul_scalar_neon repeatedly from the c function,
The raw numbers differ since checkasm uses different lengths than the
dca decoder.
The vector mode was deprecated in ARMv7-A/VFPv3 and various cpu
implementations do not support it in hardware. Vector mode code will
depending the OS either be emulated in software or result in an illegal
instruction on cpus which does not support it. This was not really
problem in practice since NEON implementations of the same functions are
preferred. It will however become a problem for checkasm which tests
every cpu flag separately.
Since this is a cpu feature newer cpu do not support anymore the
behaviour of this flag differs from the other flags. It can be only
activated by runtime cpu feature selection.
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.
