[opus] [OPUS] celt_inner_prod() and dual_inner_prod() NEON intrinsics

[Jean-Marc Valin]

Hi Linfeng,

I'll look into your patches. Can you let me know what's the expected
effect on performance (if any) for each of your patches? Also, are these
all the patches you intend to merge for 1.2 or are there more upcoming ones?

Cheers,

	Jean-Marc
