Not every asm routine is expected clear the MMX state after returning.
It is however a requisite for testing floating point code in checkasm.
Annotate functions requiring cleanup with declare_func_emms() and issue
emms after the call. The remaining functions are checked for having a
cleared MMX state after return.
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.
These aren't quite as helpful as the ones in 8bpp, since over there,
we can use pmulhrsw, but here the coefficients have too many bits to
be able to take advantage of pmulhrsw. However, we can still skip
cols for which all coefs are 0, and instead just zero the input data
for the row itx. This helps a few % on overall decoding speed.
The System V ABI on x86-64 specifies that the al register contains an upper
bound of the number of arguments passed in vector registers when calling
variadic functions, so we aren't allowed to clobber it.
checkasm_fail_func() is a variadic function so also zero al before calling it.

Tested functions are internally kept in a binary search tree for efficient
lookups. The downside of the current implementation is that the tree quickly
becomes unbalanced which causes an unneccessary amount of comparisons between
nodes. Improve this by changing the tree into a self-balancing left-leaning
red-black tree with a worst case lookup/insertion time complexity of O(log n).
Significantly reduces the recursion depth and makes the tests run around 10%
faster overall. The relative performance improvement compared to the existing
non-balanced tree will also most likely increase as more tests are added.

The randomize_buffer() implementation assures that "most of the time",
we'll do a good mix of wide16/wide8/hev/regular/no filters for complete
code coverage. However, this is not mathematically assured because that
would make the code either much more complex, or much less random.
Now we no longer have to rely on function pointers intentionally
declared without specified argument types.
This makes it easier to support functions with floating point parameters
or return values as well as functions returning 64-bit values on 32-bit
architectures. It also avoids having to explicitly cast strides to
ptrdiff_t for example.

If the return value doesn't fit in a single register rdx/edx can in some
cases be used in addition to rax/eax.
Doesn't affect any of the existing checkasm tests but might be useful later.
Also comment the relevant code a bit better.

configure does check for isatty, and checkasm properly checks
HAVE_ISATTY, but on some platforms (e.g. WinRT), io.h needs to be
included for isatty to be available.
