hevc: Separate adding residual to prediction from IDCT
This commit should be a noop but isn't because of the following renames:

This is pretty much similar to the 8 bpp version, but in some senses
simpler. All input pixels are 16 bits, and all intermediates also fit
in 16 bits, so there's no lengthening/narrowing in the filter at all.
For the full 16 pixel wide filter, we can only process 4 pixels at a time
(using an implementation very much similar to the one for 8 bpp),
but we can do 8 pixels at a time for the 4 and 8 pixel wide filters with
a different implementation of the core filter.

The speedup vs C code measured in checkasm is around 1.1-4x.
These numbers are quite inconclusive though, since the checkasm test
runs multiple filterings on top of each other, so later rounds might
end up with different codepaths (different decisions on which filter
to apply, based on input pixel differences).
Based on START_TIMER/STOP_TIMER wrapping around a few individual
functions, the speedup vs C code is around 2-4x.

This is structured similarly to the 8 bit version. In the 8 bit
version, the coefficients are 16 bits, and intermediates are 32 bits.
Here, the coefficients are 32 bit. For the 4x4 transforms for 10 bit
content, the intermediates also fit in 32 bits, but for all other
transforms (4x4 for 12 bit content, and 8x8 and larger for both 10
and 12 bit) the intermediates are 64 bit.
For the existing 8 bit case, the 8x8 transform fit all coefficients in
registers; for 10/12 bit, when the coefficients are 32 bit, the 8x8
transform also has to be done in slices of 4 pixels (just as 16x16 and
32x32 for 8 bit).
The slice width also shrinks from 4 elements to 2 elements in parallel
for the 16x16 and 32x32 cases.
The 16 bit coefficients from idct_coeffs and similar tables also need
to be lenghtened to 32 bit in order to be used in multiplication with
vectors with 32 bit elements. This leads to the fixed coefficient
vectors needing more space, leading to more cases where they have to
be reloaded within the transform (in iadst16).
This technically would need testing in checkasm for subpartitions
in increments of 2, but that slows down normal checkasm runs
excessively.

The plain pixel put/copy functions are used from the 8 bit version,
for the double size (e.g. put16 uses ff_vp9_copy32_neon), and a new
copy128 is added.
Compared with the 8 bit version, the filters can no longer use the
trick to accumulate in 16 bit with only saturation at the end, but now
the accumulators need to be 32 bit. This avoids the need to keep track
of which filter index is the largest though, reducing the size of the
executable code for these filters.
For the horizontal filters, we only do 4 or 8 pixels wide in parallel
(while doing two rows at a time), since we don't have enough register
space to filter 16 pixels wide.
For the vertical filters, we still do 4 and 8 pixels in parallel just
as in the 8 bit case, but we need to store the output after every 2
rows instead of after every 4 rows.

I.e. in general a very minor overhead for the full subpartition case due
to the additional loads and cmps, but a significant speedup for the cases
when we only need to process a small part of the actual input data.
In common VP9 content in a few inspected clips, 70-90% of the non-dc-only
16x16 and 32x32 IDCTs only have nonzero coefficients in the upper left
8x8 or 16x16 subpartitions respectively.

The implementation tries to have smart handling of cases
where no pixels need the full filtering for the 8/16 width
filters, skipping both calculation and writeback of the
unmodified pixels in those cases. The actual effect of this
is hard to test with checkasm though, since it tests the
full filtering, and the benefit depends on how many filtered
blocks use the shortcut.

The speedup vs C code is around 2-6x. The numbers are quite
inconclusive though, since the checkasm test runs multiple filterings
on top of each other, so later rounds might end up with different
codepaths (different decisions on which filter to apply, based
on input pixel differences). Disabling the early-exit in the asm
doesn't give a fair comparison either though, since the C code
only does the necessary calcuations for each row.
Based on START_TIMER/STOP_TIMER wrapping around a few individual
functions, the speedup vs C code is around 4-9x.
This is pretty similar in runtime to the corresponding routines

and vp9_loop_filter_v_16_16_neon - note that the naming of horizonal
and vertical is flipped between the libraries.)
In order to have stable, comparable numbers, the early exits in both
asm versions were disabled, forcing the full filtering codepath.

For the transforms up to 8x8, we can fit all the data (including
temporaries) in registers and just do a straightforward transform
of all the data. For 16x16, we do a transform of 4x16 pixels in
4 slices, using a temporary buffer. For 32x32, we transform 4x32
pixels at a time, in two steps of 4x16 pixels each.

This is mostly marginally faster than the corresponding routines

negligible.)

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.

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.

dca: remove unused decode_hf function and quant_d tables

Quite a bit faster than int32_to_float_fmul_array8_c calling
ff_int32_to_float_fmul_scalar_neon through FmtConvertContext.
Number of cycles per int32_to_float_fmul_array8 call while decoding
padded.dts on exynos5422:
before after change
cortex-a7: 1270 951 -25%
cortex-a15: 434 285 -34%
checkasm --bench cycle counts: cortex-a15 cortex-a7
int32_to_float_fmul_array8_c: 1730.4 4384.5
int32_to_float_fmul_array8_neon_c: 571.5 1694.3
int32_to_float_fmul_array8_neon: 374.0 1448.8
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.
It is only (mis-)used to set the dsp fucntions clear_block(s). But
these functions always work on 16bits-wide elements, which make
the parameter useless and actually harmful, as it causes all content
on more than 8-bits to not use accelerated functions.
