This patch adds code to support specializations of the hscale function
and adds a specialization for filterSize == 4.
ff_hscale8to15_4_neon is a complete rewrite. Since the main bottleneck
here is loading the data from src, this data is loaded a whole block
ahead and stored back to the stack to be loaded again with ld4. This
arranges the data for most efficient use of the vector instructions and
removes the need for completion adds at the end. The number of
iterations of the C per iteration of the assembly is increased from 4 to
8, but because of the prefetching, there must be a special section
without prefetching when dstW < 16.
This improves speed on Graviton 2 (Neoverse N1) dramatically in the case
where previously fs=8 would have been required.
