/*
    The vectorized algorithm works on single LASX register i.e., it
    loads eight 16-bit code units.

    We consider three cases:
    1. an input register contains no surrogates and each value
       is in range 0x0000 .. 0x07ff.
    2. an input register contains no surrogates and values are
       is in range 0x0000 .. 0xffff.
    3. an input register contains surrogates --- i.e. codepoints
       can have 16 or 32 bits.

    Ad 1.

    When values are less than 0x0800, it means that a 16-bit code unit
    can be converted into: 1) single UTF8 byte (when it's an ASCII
    char) or 2) two UTF8 bytes.

    For this case we do only some shuffle to obtain these 2-byte
    codes and finally compress the whole LASX register with a single
    shuffle.

    We need 256-entry lookup table to get a compression pattern
    and the number of output bytes in the compressed vector register.
    Each entry occupies 17 bytes.

    Ad 2.

    When values fit in 16-bit code units, but are above 0x07ff, then
    a single word may produce one, two or three UTF8 bytes.

    We prepare data for all these three cases in two registers.
    The first register contains lower two UTF8 bytes (used in all
    cases), while the second one contains just the third byte for
    the three-UTF8-bytes case.

    Finally these two registers are interleaved forming eight-element
    array of 32-bit values. The array spans two LASX registers.
    The bytes from the registers are compressed using two shuffles.

    We need 256-entry lookup table to get a compression pattern
    and the number of output bytes in the compressed vector register.
    Each entry occupies 17 bytes.


    To summarize:
    - We need two 256-entry tables that have 8704 bytes in total.

          layouts. Note that the last byte in cases #2 and #3 is the same.

          We precompute byte 1 for case #1 and the common byte for cases #2 & #3
          in register t2.

          We precompute byte 1 for case #3 and -- **conditionally** --
         precompute either byte 1 for case #2 or byte 2 for case #3. Note that
         they differ by exactly one bit.

          Finally from these two code units we build proper UTF-8 sequence,

           3. [aaaa|bbbb|bbcc|cccc] => [1110|aaaa], [10bb|bbbb], [10cc|cccc] -
         three UTF-8 bytes

          We expand the input word (16-bit) into two code units (32-bit), thus
          we have room for four bytes. However, we need five distinct bit
          layouts. Note that the last byte in cases #2 and #3 is the same.

          We precompute byte 1 for case #1 and the common byte for cases #2 & #3
          in register t2.

          We precompute byte 1 for case #3 and -- **conditionally** --
         precompute either byte 1 for case #2 or byte 2 for case #3. Note that
         they differ by exactly one bit.

          Finally from these two code units we build proper UTF-8 sequence,
         taking into account the case (i.e, the number of bytes to write).
