This is more spec-compliant because it does not rely
on dead-code elimination by the compiler. Especially
MSVC has problems with this, as can be seen in
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-May/296373.html
or
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-May/297022.html
This commit does not eliminate every instance where we rely
on dead code elimination: It only tackles branching to
the initialization of arch-specific dsp code, not e.g. all
uses of CONFIG_ and HAVE_ checks. But maybe it is already
enough to compile FFmpeg with MSVC with whole-programm-optimizations
enabled (if one does not disable too many components).

This avoids SIMD-optimized functions having to sign-extend their
line size argument manually to be able to do pointer arithmetic.
Also adjust parameter names to be "linesize" everywhere.
Using the first names of authors sounds somewhat unprofessional
and might be considered offensive which is not intended.
The new names use the initials of the authors due to simplicity
and the possibility to apply it consistently without the need
to find political correct names for each future case where
alternative codecs might exist. Also its shorter ...
If someone has a better idea, like maybe 2 random letters
and people prefer it then iam happy to switch to that ...
