Optimize check_refname_component using SSE2 on x86_64.

git rev-parse HEAD is a good test-case for this, since it does almost
nothing except parse refs.  For one particular repo with about 60k
refs, almost all packed, the timings are:

Look up table: 29 ms
SSE2:          23 ms

This cuts about 20% off of the runtime.

Ondřej Bílka <nel...@seznam.cz> suggested an SSE2 approach to the
substring searches, which netted a speed boost over the SSE4.2 code I
had initially written.
