Romain Dolbeau 24cdeaf12e Fletcher4 algorithm implemented in pure NEON for Aarch64 / ARMv8 64 bits
This is not useful on micro-architecture with a weak NEON
implementation (only 64 bits); the native version is slower &
the byteswap barely faster than scalar.  On A53 or A57, it's
a small improvement on scalar but OK for byteswap.

Results from an A53 system:
0 0 0x01 -1 0 1499068294333000 1499101101878000
