What
Adds support for ARM processors. In my case, this means a quadcopter self-navigating for SAR. There are a number of possible uses, but in general PI and Nvidia Tegra's seem to run the small robotics world at the moment.
How
Including SSE2NEON.h only when SSE is not present keeps things nicely segregated - SSE2NEON takes care of all the translations, and any required compatibility fixes would belong to the upstream. There are other options such as simde; however they didn't work on the very first try :)

Changes
I've tried to keep this as loosely-coupled as possible. Ping me if you'd like any changes, such as just including SSE2NEON.h in the utils folder instead of using the submodule.
Thanks! Israel
