filter optimizations and fixes a couple of minor issues.

dav1d 0.8.0 'Eurasian hobby' the fast and lean AV1 decoder

codename 'Eurasian hobby'.

This release improves, once again, the speed on all platforms.

On the desktop platforms, it improves the performance (up to 10%)
by doing less allocations and adding more optimizations for AVX2 and SSE.

On the ARM platforms, this release brings numerous improvements for ARM32
and notably optimizes most of the 10/12bit bitdepth filters.

dav1d 0.7.1 'Frigatebird' the fast and lean AV1 decoder

This is a minor update of the dav1d decoder, from the 0.7.x branch.

This release increases the speed of decoding on ARM32 by up to 28%,
adds some SSE2 optimizations, some AVX2 for MC scaled
and fixes a couple of minor issues.

dav1d 0.7.0 'Frigatebird' the fast and lean AV1 decoder

This is a major update of the dav1d, the fast and lean AV1 decoder,
codename 'Frigatebird'.

This release improves, once again, the speed on all platforms.

A rewrite of refmv made an important speed boost on x86 while reducing
RAM usage. It should improve the speed on every platform.

A large number of assembly optimizations went for ARM64 for 8/10/12bit,
a few for x86, notably for film grain and AVX-512 optimizations for CDEF.

dav1d 0.6.0 'Gyrfalcon', the fast and lean AV1 decoder
