AArch64: Specialise HBD Neon convolutions for 6-tap filters

Arpad Panyik requested to merge arpadpanyik-arm/dav1d:mc_hbd_6tap into master

This is a follow-up work to !1595 (merged).

The 8-tap sub-pel filters used for motion vector interpolation are: regular, smooth, sharp. The regular and smooth filter kernels are zero-padded, so they are effectively 6-tap filters (some of them are 5-tap or even 4-tap).

This patch specialises the high bit-depth versions of put_8tap_neon and prep_8tap_neon functions for 6-tap filters, avoiding a lot of redundant work to multiply by and add zero. Wherever the sharp filtering is used the 8-tap path will be always selected.

Benchmarks can show a 0.5-10.8% FPS uplift highly depending on the input video source. Binary size increase is about 8.5 KiB.

This change set also contains 6-tap HV convolution optimization similar to !1619 (merged).
