Libav, for some reason, merged this as a public API function. This will
aid in future merges.
A define is left for backwards compat, just in case some person
used it, since it is in a public header.

FFDIFFSIGN was created explicitly for this purpose, since the common
return a - b idiom is unsafe regarding overflow on signed integers. It
optimizes to branchless code on common compilers.
FFDIFFSIGN also has the subjective benefit of being easier to read due
to lack of ternary operators.
Tested with FATE.
Things not covered by this are unsigned integers, for which overflows
are well defined, and also places where overflow is clearly impossible,
e.g an instance where the a - b was being done on 24 bit values.

Speed of all modes increased by a factor between 7.4 and 19.8 largely depending
on whether bytes are unpacked into words. Modes 2, 3, and 4 have been sped-up
by a factor of 43 (thanks quick sort!)
All modes are available on x86_64 but only modes 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20,
21, and 22 are available on x86 due to the number of SIMD registers used.
