gen_grain_uv_ar1_16bpc is very marginally slower on Skylake after the changes due to using scalar loads instead of gathers, but everything else is a win across the board. Should be even more beneficial on AMD CPUs with notoriously poor gather performance.

Partially addresses #377 (closed) due to grain generation functions no longer using gathers. The issue still remains for the main film grain functions though.
