Aligned local variables must use the LOCAL_ALIGNED macro to ensure
correct alignment on all systems. The unusual size argument to
memset is required since the implementation of LOCAL_ALIGNED may
use a pointer to an array.

Uninitialized coefficients were being used to generate exponents, some
of which actually ended up in the final stream. Even though, they were
just extra exponents that are not used by any decoder, it is still
better to have consistent output for testing. This also fixes valgrind
errors.
Channel coupling is an optional AC-3 feature that increases quality by
combining high frequency information from multiple channels into a
single channel. The per-channel high frequency information is sent with
less accuracy in both the frequency and time domains. This allows more
bits to be used for lower frequencies while preserving enough
information to reconstruct the high frequencies.
This makes the AC3 encoder use the shared fixed-point MDCT rather
than its own implementation. The checksum changes are due to
different rounding in the MDCT.

These expressions are equivalent since levels is always odd, and
overflow is impossible due to the constraints set by the assert().

These fields are only used in quantize_mantissas() and reset
on each call, no need to store them in the main context.

This increases the accuracy of coefficients, leading to improved quality.
Rescaling of the coefficients to full 25-bit accuracy is done rather than
offsetting the exponent values. This requires coefficient scaling to be done
before determining the rematrixing strategy. Also, the rematrixing strategy
calculation must use 64-bit math to prevent overflow due to the higher
precision coefficients.
Currently it is always 4, but this change will allow it to be adjusted when
bandwidth-related features are added such as channel coupling, enhanced
channel coupling, and spectral extension.
The rematrixing strategy reuse flags are not reset between frames, so they
need to be initialized for all blocks, not just block 0.

This is to match the value in every (E-)AC-3 file from commercial sources.
It has a negligible effect on audio quality.

It is pretty hopeless that other considerable projects will adopt
libavutil alone in other projects. Projects that need small footprint
are better off with more specialized libraries such as gnulib or rather
just copy the necessary parts that they need. With this in mind, nobody
is helped by having libavutil and libavcore split. In order to ease
maintenance inside and around FFmpeg and to reduce confusion where to
put common code, avcore's functionality is merged (back) to avutil.

This patch changes the exponent difference threshold in the exponent
strategy decision function of the AC-3 encoder. I tested lowering in
increments of 100. From 1000 down to 500 generally increased in quality
with each step, but 400 was generally much worse.

exponent strategies for a single channel to compute_exp_strategy_ch().
This allows for removal of the temporary pointer arrays.
