These are ported from the ARM version; thanks to the larger
amount of registers available, we can do the loop filters with
16 pixels at a time. The implementation is fully templated, with
a single macro which can generate versions for both 8 and
16 pixels wide, for both 4, 8 and 16 pixels loop filters
(and the 4/8 mixed versions as well).
For the 8 pixel wide versions, it is pretty close in speed (the
v_4_8 and v_8_8 filters are the best examples of this; the h_4_8
and h_8_8 filters seem to get some gain in the load/transpose/store
part). For the 16 pixels wide ones, we get a speedup of around
1.2-1.4x compared to the 32 bit version.

The speedup vs C code in checkasm tests is around 2-7x, which is
pretty much the same as for the 32 bit version. Even if these functions
are faster than their 32 bit equivalent, the C version that we compare
to also became around 1.3-1.7x faster than the C version in 32 bit.
Based on START_TIMER/STOP_TIMER wrapping around a few individual
functions, the speedup vs C code is around 4-5x.
Examples of runtimes vs C on a Cortex A57 (for a slightly older version
of the patch):

The speed-up compared to the C functions is 2.5 to 6 and the cortex-a57
is again 30-50% faster than the cortex-a53.

These are ported from the ARM version; thanks to the larger
amount of registers available, we can do the 16x16 and 32x32
transforms in slices 8 pixels wide instead of 4. This gives
a speedup of around 1.4x compared to the 32 bit version.
The fact that aarch64 doesn't have the same d/q register
aliasing makes some of the macros quite a bit simpler as well.

vp9_inv_wht_wht_4x4_add_neon: 63.0 57.7
The speedup vs C code (2-4x) is smaller than in the 32 bit case,
mostly because the C code ends up significantly faster (around
1.6x faster, with GCC 5.4) when built for aarch64.
Examples of runtimes vs C on a Cortex A57 (for a slightly older version
of the patch):

vp9_inv_wht_wht_4x4_add_neon: 91.0 49.8
The asm is around factor 3-4 faster than C on the cortex-a57 and the asm
is around 30-50% faster on the a57 compared to the a53.

These are ported from the ARM version; it is essentially a 1:1
port with no extra added features, but with some hand tuning
(especially for the plain copy/avg functions). The ARM version
isn't very register starved to begin with, so there's not much
to be gained from having more spare registers here - we only
avoid having to clobber callee-saved registers.

These are generally about as fast as the corresponding ARM
routines on the same CPU (at least on the A53), in most cases
marginally faster.
The speedup vs C code is pretty much the same as for the 32 bit
case; on the A53 it's around 6-13x for ther larger 8tap filters.
The exact speedup varies a little, since the C versions generally
don't end up exactly as slow/fast as on 32 bit.

Restore alphabetical order in lists, break overly long lines, do some
prettyprinting, add some explanatory section comments, group parts
together that belong together logically.
~25% faster dts decoding overall. The checkasm CPU cycles numbers are
not that useful since synth_filter_float() calls FFTContext.imdct_half().
