In a repository with many refs, check_refname_component can be a major
contributor to the runtime of some git commands.  Provide two
optimized versions of this function: one for machines with SSE4.2, and
one for machines without.  One such command is

git rev-parse HEAD

Timings for one particular repo, with about 60k refs, almost all
packed, are:

Old: 35ms
New (no SSE): 29 ms
New (SSE): 25 ms

Many other commands which read refs are also sped up.

Add some tests around 16-byte boundaries to ensure that the SSE
code correctly handles edge-cases.
