[PATCHv2] SSE2/SSSE3 optimized version of get_checksum1() for x86-64

[Jorrit Jongma]

I haven't found a way to control GCC's target selector at runtime
(though in theory it could be possible), so switching between specific
optimizations (SSE2 vs SSSE3) may prove difficult or require
additional duplication of code. Bypassing the optimizations completely
in an all-or-nothing way should be possible relatively easily, though.
