Neon: Auto-detect compiler intrinsics completeness This allows the Neon intrinsics code to be built successfully (albeit likely with reduced run-time performance) with Xcode 5.0-6.2 (iOS/AArch64) and Android NDK < r19 (AArch32). Note that Xcode 5.0-6.2 will not build the Armv8 GAS code without gas-preprocessor.pl, and no version of Xcode will build the Armv7 GAS code without gas-preprocessor.pl, so we always use the full Neon intrinsics implementation by default with macOS and iOS builds. Auto-detecting the completeness of the compiler's set of Neon intrinsics also allows us to more intelligently set the default value of NEON_INTRINSICS, based on the values of HAVE_VLD1*. This is a reasonable, albeit imperfect, proxy for whether a compiler has a full and optimal set of Neon intrinsics. Specific notes: - 64-bit RGB-to-YCbCr color conversion does not use any of the intrinsics in question, regresses with GCC - 64-bit accurate integer forward DCT uses vld1_s16_x3(), regresses with GCC - 64-bit Huffman encoding uses vld1q_u8_x4(), regresses with GCC - 64-bit YCbCr-to-RGB color conversion does not use any of the intrinsics in question, regresses with GCC - 64-bit accurate integer inverse DCT uses vld1_s16_x3(), regresses with GCC - 64-bit 4x4 inverse DCT uses vld1_s16_x3(). I did not test this algorithm in isolation, so it may in fact regress with GCC, but the regression may be hidden by the speedup from the new SIMD-accelerated upsampling algorithms. - 32-bit RGB-to-YCbCr color conversion: uses vld1_u16_x2(), regresses with GCC - 32-bit accurate integer forward DCT uses vld1_s16_x3(), regression irrelevant because there was no previous implementation - 32-bit accurate integer inverse DCT uses vld1_s16_x3(), regresses with GCC - 32-bit fast integer inverse DCT does not use any of the intrinsics in question, regresses with GCC - 32-bit 4x4 inverse DCT uses vld1_s16_x3(). I did not test this algorithm in isolation, so it may in fact regress with GCC, but the regression may be hidden by the speedup from the new SIMD-accelerated upsampling algorithms. Presumably when GCC includes a full and optimal set of Neon intrinsics, the HAVE_VLD1* tests will pass, and the full Neon intrinsics implementation will be enabled automatically.
