For best quality mode, this gave encoder a 5% performance boost.
For good quality mode with speed=1, this gave encoder a 3%
performance boost.

This patch fixes the system dependent entries for the half-pixel
variance functions in both the RTCD and non-RTCD cases:
- The generic C versions of these functions are now correct.
Before all three cases called the hv code.
- Wire up the ARM functions in RTCD mode
- Created stubs for x86 to call the optimized subpixel functions
with the correct parameters, rather than falling back to C
code.

The primary goal is to allow a binary to be built which supports
NEON, but can fall back to non-NEON routines, since some Android
devices do not have NEON, even if they are otherwise ARMv7 (e.g.,
Tegra).
The configure-generated flags HAVE_ARMV7, etc., are used to decide
which versions of each function to build, and when
CONFIG_RUNTIME_CPU_DETECT is enabled, the correct version is chosen
at run time.
In order for this to work, the CFLAGS must be set to something
appropriate (e.g., without -mfpu=neon for ARMv7, and with
appropriate -march and -mcpu for even earlier configurations), or
the native C code will not be able to run.
The ASFLAGS must remain set for the most advanced instruction set
required at build time, since the ARM assembler will refuse to emit
them otherwise.
I have not attempted to make any changes to configure to do this
automatically.
Doing so will probably require the addition of new configure options.
Many of the hooks for RTCD on ARM were already there, but a lot of
the code had bit-rotted, and a good deal of the ARM-specific code
is not integrated into the RTCD structs at all.
I did not try to resolve the latter, merely to add the minimal amount
of protection around them to allow RTCD to work.
Those functions that were called based on an ifdef at the calling
site were expanded to check the RTCD flags at that site, but they
should be added to an RTCD struct somewhere in the future.
The functions invoked with global function pointers still are, but
these should be moved into an RTCD struct for thread safety (I
believe every platform currently supported has atomic pointer
stores, but this is not guaranteed).
The encoder's boolhuff functions did not even have _c and armv7
suffixes, and the correct version was resolved at link time.
The token packing functions did have appropriate suffixes, but the
version was selected with a define, with no associated RTCD struct.
However, for both of these, the only armv7 instruction they actually
used was rbit, and this was completely superfluous, so I reworked
them to avoid it.
The only non-ARMv4 instruction remaining in them is clz, which is
ARMv5 (not even ARMv5TE is required).
Considering that there are no ARM-specific configs which are not at
least ARMv5TE, I did not try to detect these at runtime, and simply
enable them for ARMv5 and above.
Finally, the NEON register saving code was completely non-reentrant,
since it saved the registers to a global, static variable.
I moved the storage for this onto the stack.
A single binary built with this code was tested on an ARM11 (ARMv6)
and a Cortex A8 (ARMv7 w/NEON), for both the encoder and decoder,
and produced identical output, while using the correct accelerated
functions on each.
I did not test on any earlier processors.

Changes 'The VP8 project' to 'The WebM project', for consistency
with other webmproject.org repositories.
Fixes issue #97.

The new fdct lowers the round trip sum squared error for a
4x4 block ~0.12. or ~0.008/pixel. For reference, the old
matrix multiply version has average round trip error 1.46
for a 4x4 block.
Thanks to "derf" for his suggestions and references.

When the license headers were updated, they accidentally contained
trailing whitespace, so unfortunately we have to touch all the files
again.
