[theora] Optimised ARM Ogg/Theora/Vorbis decoder

[Claus Höfele]

Any performance data on running your decoder on the iPhone?
Presumably, because the iPhone supports floating-point calculations
natively and has a SIMD unit, it might be better to go that route for
best performance?

Thanks,
Claus

> Full details of this code release can be found at
> <http://www.wss.co.uk/pinknoise/theorarm>, but highlights include:
>
>  * Full speed playback of a 320x240x25fps clip with a 48kHz stereo
> audio track on an 416Mhz Xscale based wince device. (39fps if audio
> sync is sacrificed).
>
>  * With post processing (deblocking/deringing) enabled, this drops to
> 23fps.
>
>  * Uses no hardware acceleration features (e.g. dithered YUV2RGB is
> done in software, so on devices with such features available, it
> could go even faster).
>
>  * Uses ARMv4 instructions only (no reliance on Xscale SIMD or
> ARMv5/v6/v7/NEON).
>
>  * Compatible with films encoded with the latest encoder versions.
