replaced _mm_prefetch in GeneralBlockPanelKernel.h, with ei_prefetch() inline function.
Implemented NEON and AltiVec versions, copied SSE version over from GeneralBlockPanelKernel.h.
Also in GCC case (or rather !_MSC_VER) it's implemented using __builtin_prefetch().
NEON managed to give a small but welcome boost, 0.88GFLOPS -> 0.91GFLOPS.

(sse3, ssse3 and sse4), independantly from the compiler.
Only those defines should be used in other places, and the user can
rely on those to know which sets are used.
Added setLinSpaced/LinSpaced functionality to DenseBase.
Improved vectorized assignment - overcomes MSVC optimization issues.
CwiseNullaryOp is now requiring functors to offer 1D and 2D operators.
Adapted existing functors to the new CwiseNullaryOp requirements.
Added ei_plset to create packages as [a, a+1, ..., a+size].
Added more nullaray unit tests.
significantly simplify the code of these checks while extending them
to catch much more expressions!
* move the enabling/disabling of vectorized sin/cos to the architecture traits
Add an internal pseudo expression allowing to optimize operators like +=, *= using
the copyCoeff stuff.
This allows to easily enforce aligned load for the destination matrix everywhere.
now we also align to 8byte boundary fixed-size objects that are multiple of 8 bytes.
That's only useful for now for double, not e.g. for Vector2f, but that didn't seem to hurt. Am I missing something? Do you prefer that we don't align Vector2f at all?
Also, improvements in test_unalignedassert.
Pommier. They are for float only, and they return exactly the same
result as the standard versions in about 90% of the cases. Otherwise the max error
is below 1e-7. However, for very large values (>1e3) the accuracy of sin and cos
slighlty decrease. They are about 3 or 4 times faster than 4 calls to their respective
standard versions. So, is it ok to enable them by default in their respective functors ?
