AArch64: Optimize lane load/store in MC functions

Arpad Panyik requested to merge arpadpanyik-arm/dav1d:mc_lane_neon into master

Partial register writes can create long dependency chains which can reduce performance on out-of-order CPUs. This patch removes most of these kinds of problems in MC functions by filling the full register before other lane loading instructions.

Most lane extracting stores can also be optimized using FP scalar stores when the 0th lane would be extracted.

Relative runtime of micro benchmarks after this patch on some Neoverse and Cortex CPU cores:
