The problem is that the ssse3 psign instruction does the wrong
thing here. Commit ea60dfe incorrectly removed a macro emulating
this instruction for pre-ssse3 code. However, the emulation is
incorrect, and the code relies on the behaviour of the macro.
Specifically, the psign sets destination elements to zero where
the corresponding source element is zero, whereas the emulation
only negates destination elements where the source is negative.
Furthermore, the PSIGNW_MMX macro in x86util.asm is totally bogus,
which is why the original VC-1 code had an additional right shift
when using it. Since the psign instruction cannot be used here,
skip all the macro hell and use the working instruction sequence
directly.
None of this was noticed due a stray return statement in
ff_vc1dsp_init_mmx() which meant that only the mmx version of the
loop filter was ever used (before being removed in ea60dfe).

The function call was a mess to handle, and memcpy cannot make
the assumptions we do in the new code.
Tested on an IMC sample: 430c -> 370c.

This removes a dependency on implementation details from generic
code and allows easy addition of the equivalent optimisation for
other architectures than x86.

Code mostly inspired by vp8's MC, however:
- its MMX2 horizontal filter is worse because it can't take advantage of
the coefficient redundancy
- that same coefficient redundancy allows better code for non-SSSE3 versions
Benchmark (rounded to tens of unit):
V8x8 H8x8 2D8x8 V16x16 H16x16 2D16x16
C 445 358 985 1785 1559 3280
MMX* 219 271 478 714 929 1443
SSE2 131 158 294 425 515 892
SSSE3 120 122 248 387 390 763
End result is overall around a 15% speedup for SSSE3 version (on 6 sequences);
all loop filter functions now take around 55% of decoding time, while luma MC
dsp functions are around 6%, chroma ones are 1.3% and biweight around 2.3%.

This adds a hand-optimized assembly version for get_cabac much like the
existing one, but it works if the table offsets are RIP-relative.
Compared to the non-RIP-relative version this adds 2 lea instructions
and it needs one extra register.
There is a surprisingly large performance improvement over the c version (more
so than the generated assembly seems to suggest) just in get_cabac, I measured
roughly 40% faster for get_cabac on a K8. However, overall the difference is
not that big, I measured roughly 5% on a test clip on a K8 and a Core2.
Hopefully it still compiles on x86 32bit...
Now that only one table is used, there's some chance even darwin as compiles
this (apparently the label arithmetic used previously doesn't work if it
involves symbols defined in a different file, thanks to Ronald S. Bultje for
helping me with this).

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.

The new lowres support is limited to decoders where lowres decoding
is possible in high quality.
I was not able to measure any speed difference, but if one is found
the 2-3 lines that might affect speed can be made compile time conditional

This removes all references to AVCodecContext.dsp_mask and marks
it for eviction at the next version bump. It has been superseded
by av_set_cpu_flag_mask() which, unlike this field, works everywhere.
