Since we had such a hard time with the assembly versions of this blit (to the
point that we have them completely disabled everywhere), I thought I'd take
a shot at writing a version of the blit using intrinsics.
The key feature of SSE4 we're exploiting is that we can use ptest (_mm_test*)
to skip the blend when the 16 src pixels we consider each loop are all opaque
or all transparent. _mm_shuffle_epi8 from SSSE3 also lends a hand to extract
all those alphas.
It's worth looking to see if we can backport this type of logic to SSE2 using
_mm_movemask_epi8, or up to 32 pixels at a time using AVX.
My local performance testing doesn't show this to be an unambiguous win
(there are probably microbenchmarks and SKPs where we'd be better off just
powering through the blend rather than looking at alphas), but the potential
does seem tantalizing enough to let skiaperf vet it on the bots. (< 1.0x is a win.)
DM says it draws pixel perfect compare to the old code.
Microbenchmarks:

bitmap_RGBA_8888_scale_bilerp 61.9us -> 62.2us 1.01x
bitmap_RGBA_8888_update_volatile_scale_rotate_bilerp 102us -> 101us 0.99x
bitmap_RGBA_8888_scale_rotate_bilerp 103us -> 101us 0.99x

bitmap_RGBA_8888_A_scale_bicubic 23.7us -> 21.8us 0.92x
bitmap_RGBA_8888_A 13.9us -> 10.9us 0.78x
bitmap_RGBA_8888_A_source_opaque 14us -> 6.29us 0.45x
bitmap_RGBA_8888_A_source_transparent 14us -> 3.65us 0.26x
Running over our ~70 SKP web page captures, this looks like we spend 0.7x
the time in S32A_Opaque_BlitRow compared to the SSE2 version, which should
be a decent predictor of real-world impact.
