Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [clang] Provide an SSE4.2 implementation of identifier
 token lexer

The _mm_cmpistri instruction can be used to quickly parse identifiers.

With this patch activated, clang pre-processes <iostream> 1.8% faster, and
sqlite3.c amalgametion 1.5% faster, based on time measurements and
number of executed instructions as measured by valgrind.

The introduction of an extra helper function in the regular case has no
impact on performance, see
