lavc/hevc: add aarch64 NEON for angular modes 10 and 26
Add NEON-optimized implementations for HEVC angular intra prediction
modes 10 (pure horizontal) and 26 (pure vertical) at 8-bit depth.

Mode 10 (Horizontal):
- Broadcasts left[y] to fill each row using ld2r/ld4r for efficiency
- Applies edge smoothing for luma blocks smaller than 32x32

Mode 26 (Vertical):
- Copies top reference row to all output rows
- Applies edge smoothing for luma blocks smaller than 32x32

Edge smoothing uses uhsub+usqadd to compute the filtered result
directly in 8-bit, avoiding widening to 16-bit intermediates.

The C pred_angular wrappers are made non-static with ff_ prefix to
allow the NEON dispatch to fall back to C for modes not yet optimized.
This will be reverted once all angular modes are implemented.

Note: since pred_angular[] is a per-size function pointer (not
per-mode), checkasm benchmarks will show '_neon' for all 33 modes
even though only modes 10/26 are truly accelerated; unoptimized
modes show ~1.0x speedup as they pass through the NEON wrapper to
the C fallback with negligible overhead.

Speedup over C on Apple M4 (checkasm --bench, 15-run average):

  Mode 10 (Horizontal):
    4x4: 4.66x    8x8: 5.80x    16x16: 16.86x    32x32: 24.89x

  Mode 26 (Vertical):
    4x4: 1.16x    8x8: 1.83x    16x16: 2.45x    32x32: 4.50x
