Make SLP try different vector widths

Registered by Richard Sandiford on 2011-09-07

At the moment, SLP only tries one vector width. For NEON, if the default
choice of quad width is too wide, it would be better to try doubles instead.

E.g., put-h264-chroma-mc8-8 has groups of 8 8-bit elements, which requires the use of double-word vectors.
