Use ARM Advanced SIMD (NEON) intrinsics where available
NEON support is required on the Aarch64 architecture for standard
implementations. Hardware designers for specialized markets can choose
not to support it, but that's true of floating point as well, which
we assume is supported. As with x86, some SIMD support is available
on 32-bit platforms, but those are not interesting from a performance
standpoint and would require an inconvenient runtime check.
