ARM is an increasingly important architecture. avo should support it.

Posted golang/go#44734 (comment) to see if there's any chance that @erifan at ARM might be able to help with the instruction database side of this work. A "source of truth" shared with the Go assembler would be incredibly valuable.

Worth noting here that ARM support in the Go assembler is actively being worked on. It missed Go 1.19 but should make Go 1.20 (I think). Support for ARM vector instruction sets is lacking in the Go assembler right now. While there's still a lot of work to be done on the avo side, it will help when the Go assembler is overhauled to support the full ARM ISA.

Add SIMD support for imagehash (#50)
873e9d4 
Added SIMD support for PHash64 and PHash256. SIMD improvements limited to linux/amd64 at this time. Will need further testing to expand coverage for darwin/amd64 and windows/amd64.

May consider future arm assembly support with [mmcloughlin/avo#189 arm support).

Looking forward to see ARM/Neon support for Avo! Happy to help QA.

The tide is turning, 374 million x86 processors were shipped in 2022 alone (Source Mercury Research). In comparison, close to 20 billion ARM-based chips are shipped yearly (Source Arm).

The work ongoing for refactoring the arm64 assembler appears to have taken a hit due to Arm laying off their China based staff working on Golang improvements. It may be a while yet until the pieces are ready.
