Change ALLOC_STACK to always align the stack before allocating stack space for
consistency. Previously alignment would occur either before or after allocating
stack space depending on whether manual alignment was required or not.
Only two functions that use xop multiply-accumulate instructions where the
first operand is the same as the fourth actually took advantage of the macros.
This further reduces differences with x264's x86inc.

The bug was fixed in 1.3.0, so only perform the workaround in earlier versions.

Recent ICC versions that define GCC as >= 4.5 (like ICC 13) apparently can't
optimize the generic C versions of av_bswap*() on their own.

Improves the accuracy of measurements, especially in short sections.
To quote the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual:
"The RDTSC instruction is not a serializing instruction. It does not necessarily
wait until all previous instructions have been executed before reading the counter.
Similarly, subsequent instructions may begin execution before the read operation
is performed. If software requires RDTSC to be executed only after all previous
instructions have completed locally, it can either use RDTSCP (if the processor
supports that instruction) or execute the sequence LFENCE;RDTSC."
SSE2 is a requirement for lfence so only use it on SSE2-capable systems.
Prefer lfence;rdtsc over rdtscp since rdtscp is supported on fewer systems.

Silences warning(s) like:
libavcodec/x86/fft.asm:93: warning: section flags ignored on
section redeclaration
The cause of this warning is that because `struc` and `endstruc`
attempts to revert to the previous section state [1].
The section state is stored in the macro __SECT__, defined by
x86inc.asm to be `.note.GNU-stack ...`, through the `SECTION`
directive [2].
Thus, the `.note.GNU-stack` section is defined twice
(once in x86inc.asm, once during `endstruc`), causing the warning.
That is the first part of the commit: using the primitive `[section]` format
for .note.GNU-stack etc., which does not update `__SECT__` [2].
That fixes only half of the problem. Even without any `SECTION` directives,
`__SECT__` is predefined as `.text`, which conflicting with the later
`SECTION_TEXT` (which expands to `.text align=16`).

SSE2 instructions that are XMM-implementations of pre-existing MMX/MMX2
instructions did not issue warnings when used in SSE functions. Handle
it by also checking the register type when such instructions are used.

~560 → ~500 decicycles
This is following the comments from Michael in
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2014-August/160599.html
Using 2 registers for accumulator didn't help. On the other hand,
some re-ordering between the movs and psadbw allowed going ~538 to ~500.
Up to four instructions less depending on function and instruction set.
