Note that the benchmarking results for these functions are highly dependent
upon the input data. Therefore, each function is benchmarked twice,
corresponding to the best and worst case complexity of the reference C
implementation. The performance of a real stream decode will fall somewhere
between these two extremes.

This avoids unnecessary rebuilds of most source files if only the
list of enabled components has changed, but not the other properties
of the build, set in config.h.

LSX and LASX is loongarch SIMD extention.
They are enabled by default if compiler support it, and can be disabled
with '--disable-lsx' '--disable-lasx'.

This sadly required making changes to the code itself,
due to the same context needing to be reused for both versions.
The lookup table had to be duplicated for both versions.
Add MMI & MSA runtime detection for MIPS.
Basically there are two code pathes. For systems that
natively support CPUCFG instruction or kernel emulated
that instruction, we'll sense this feature from HWCAP and
report the flags according to values grab from CPUCFG. For
systems that have no CPUCFG (or not export it in HWCAP),
we'll parse /proc/cpuinfo instead.

On ARM platforms, accessing the PMU registers requires special user
access permissions. Since there is no other way to get accurate timers,
the current implementation of timers in FFmpeg rely on these registers.
Unfortunately, enabling user access to these registers on Linux is not
trivial, and generally involve compiling a random and unreliable github
kernel module, or patching somehow your kernel.
Such module is very unlikely to reach the upstream anytime soon. Quoting

As a result, the alternative is to use the Performance Monitoring Linux
API which makes use of these registers internally (assuming the PMU of
your ARM board is supported in the kernel, which is definitely not a
given...).
While the Linux API is obviously cross platform, it does have a
significant overhead which needs to be taken into account. As a result,
that mode is only weakly enabled on ARM platforms exclusively.
Note on the non flexibility of the implementation: the timers (native
FFmpeg vs Linux API) are selected at compilation time to prevent the
need of function calls, which would result in a negative impact on the
cycle counters.
