Optimize down and up samplers by using FFT convolution

This improves down sampling performance by 40 percent in all cases on
x64 with AVX and up sampling performance by 50 percent in the case of
large input block sizes (256 samples or more) on x64 with AVX. Up
sampling performance in the case of normal input block sizes (128
samples) is not affected. Performance improvements on x64 with SSE but
without AVX are even bigger than those on x64 with AVX.

On Arm, the performance improvement is 270 percent.

When FFT resampling is used for the WaveShaper, we need to account
for some small round-off errors in the result compared with the
previous direct convolver.  Slightly adjust how the thresholds work
and the threshold value for the tests. Thanks to Raymond Toy (rtoy@)
for these layout test updates.
