Add a separate, faster convolution decoding implementation for rates
up to N=4 and constraint lengths of K=5 and K=7, which covers the
most GSM code uses. The decoding algorithm exploits the symmetric
structure of the Viterbi add-compare-select (ACS) operation - commonly
known as the ACS butterfly. This shift-register optimization can be
found in the well-known text by Dave Forney.
Forney, G.D., "The Viterbi Algorithm," Proc. of the IEEE, March 1973.
Implementation is non-architecture specific and improves performance on
x86 as well as ARM processors. Existing API is unchanged with optimized
code being called internally for supported codes.
