The vector mode was deprecated in ARMv7-A/VFPv3 and various cpu
implementations do not support it in hardware. Vector mode code will
depending the OS either be emulated in software or result in an illegal
instruction on cpus which does not support it. This was not really
problem in practice since NEON implementations of the same functions are
preferred. It will however become a problem for checkasm which tests
every cpu flag separately.
Since this is a cpu feature newer cpu do not support anymore the
behaviour of this flag differs from the other flags. It can be only
activated by runtime cpu feature selection.

armv6: Accelerate ff_fft_calc for general case (nbits != 4)
Merged-by: Michael Niedermayer <michaelni@gmx.at>
The previous implementation targeted DTS Coherent Acoustics, which only
requires nbits == 4 (fft16()). This case was (and still is) linked directly
rather than being indirected through ff_fft_calc_vfp(), but now the full
range from radix-4 up to radix-65536 is available. This benefits other codecs
such as AAC and AC3.
The implementaion is based upon the C version, with each routine larger than
radix-16 calling a hierarchy of smaller FFT functions, then performing a
post-processing pass. This pass benefits a lot from loop unrolling to
counter the long pipelines in the VFP. A relaxed calling standard also
reduces the overhead of the call hierarchy, and avoiding the excessive
inlining performed by GCC probably helps with I-cache utilisation too.
I benchmarked the result by measuring the number of gperftools samples that
hit anywhere in the AAC decoder (starting from aac_decode_frame()) or
specifically in the FFT routines (fft4() to fft512() and pass()) for the
same sample AAC stream:

This allows masking CPU features with the -cpuflags avconv option
which is useful for testing different optimisations without rebuilding.
