libFLAC/lpc_intrin_sse.c : New SSE code to calculate autocorrelation.
Accelerate FLAC__lpc_compute_autocorrelation_intrin_sse_lag_NN routines for
AMD and newer Intel CPUs (means Core i aka Nehalem and newer). Unfortunately
it's slower on older Intel CPUs.
According to tests at HA:

CPU flac -5 flac -8
Athlon XP +5 % +2.4 %
Athlon 64 X2 +9 % +4 %
Core i +7 % +1 % ... +2.7 %
Core 2 ? -3.5 %
According to Steam HW survey <http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/>
69% of Steam users have SSE4.2 which means that the new code is faster for
them. There are also AMD users that don't have SSE4.2, so 75% of Steam users
should benefit from this patch.
