This patch adds a dozen more "shortcut" scanline-processing functions
to pixel-flingers. All of them avoid using the JIT for the corresponding
operation (on ARM), or using the generic and _extremely_ slow 'scanline'
function (on x86, where there is no JIT).
The shortcuts were selected by running the system under emulation
(build full_x86-eng, then launch emulator-x86), and correspond to
operations that are in use when using the system's typical UI features.
This makes it much more responsive and amenable to testing most
applications, at least those that don't use OpenGL ES heavily.
Note that HW OpenGLES emulation is under completion and should solve this
problem entirely, though is not there yet.

There is no need to include codeflinger test function in
libpixelflinger. Instead, it should exist in test-opengl-codegen.

This is a shortcut for the needs descriptor
00000077:03515104_00000000_00000000. It requires blending a single 32-bit
colour value into a 16-bit framebuffer.
It's used when fading out the screen, eg. when a modal requester pops-up.
The PF JIT produces code for this using 24 instructions/pixel. The NEON
implementation requires 2.1 instructions/pixel. Performance hasn't been
benchmarked, but the improvement is quite visible.
This code has only been tested by inspection of the fading effect described
above, when press+holding a finger on the home screen to pop up the
Shortcuts/Widgets/Folders/Wallpaper requester.
Along with the NEON version, a fallback v5TE implementation is also provided.
This ARM version of col32cb16blend is not fully optimised, but is a reasonable
implementation, and better than the version produced by the JIT. It is here as
a fallback, if NEON is not available.
