This is more spec-compliant because it does not rely
on dead-code elimination by the compiler. Especially
MSVC has problems with this, as can be seen in
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-May/296373.html
or
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-May/297022.html
This commit does not eliminate every instance where we rely
on dead code elimination: It only tackles branching to
the initialization of arch-specific dsp code, not e.g. all
uses of CONFIG_ and HAVE_ checks. But maybe it is already
enough to compile FFmpeg with MSVC with whole-programm-optimizations
enabled (if one does not disable too many components).
