GCC 4.3 and later do the right thing with the plain C code. Earlier
versions in 32-bit mode generate one extra instruction, needlessly
zeroing what would be the high half of the shifted value. At least
two gcc configurations miscompile the inline asm in some situations.
In 64-bit mode, all gcc versions generate imul r64, r64 followed by
shr. On Intel i7 and later, this imul is faster 32-bit mul. On
older Intel and all AMD, it is slightly slower. On Atom it is much
slower.
Considering where the FASTDIV macro is used, any overall negative
performance impact of this change should be negligible. If anyone
cares, they should file a bug against gcc and get the instruction
selection fixed.

This reduces the number of false dependencies on header files and
speeds up compilation.

Consistently apply this rule: the guard name is obtained from the
filename by stripping the leading "lib", converting '/' and '.' to
'_' and uppercasing the resulting name. Guard names in the root
directory have to be prefixed by "FFMPEG_".
