Presently, the SIMD implementation of this function uses unsigned saturating subtraction to find bytes less than or equal to the given value, which is a workaround for the lack of unsigned comparison instructions on some architectures. However, Neon offers vminvq_u8(), which returns the minimum (unsigned) value in the vector. This commit adds a Neon-specific implementation that uses vminvq_u8() to optimize vector8_has_le() on AArch64. In passing, adjust the SSE2 implementation to use vector8_min() and vector8_eq() to find values less than or equal to the given value. This was the only use of vector8_ssub(), so it has been removed.
