George Steed 9e8c1ef826 AArch64: Avoid LD4 in ScaleRowDown4_NEON
ScaleRowDown4_NEON uses LD4 to extract the third entry from each four,
however LD4 is known to be slow on some micro-architectures and implies
overhead for performing the de-interleaving even for the unused vectors
v0/v1/v3.

Replace this with a single LD1 to load the vectors without
de-interleaving and then select the bytes we want with UZP instead.

Speedup versus the existing Neon implementation (higher is better):

 Cortex-A55: 1.004
  Cortex-X4: 1.873
Cortex-A720: 1.285
    C1-Nano: 1.330
     C1-Pro: 1.246
   C1-Ultra: 1.219

libyuv is an open source project that includes YUV scaling and conversion functionality.

  • Scale YUV to prepare content for compression, with point, bilinear or box filter.
  • Convert to YUV from webcam formats for compression.
  • Convert to RGB formats for rendering/effects.
  • Rotate by 90/180/270 degrees to adjust for mobile devices in portrait mode.
  • Optimized for SSSE3/AVX2 on x86/x64.
  • Optimized for Neon/SVE2/SME on Arm.
  • Optimized for MSA on Mips.
  • Optimized for RVV on RISC-V.
