Upgrade Embree to the latest official release.

Since Embree v3.13.0 supports AARCH64, switch back to the
official repo instead of using Embree-aarch64.

`thirdparty/embree/patches/godot-changes.patch` should now contain
an accurate diff of the changes done to the library.

-// This header file provides a simple API translation layer

-//
-// This header file does not (yet) translate *all* of the SSE intrinsics.
-// Since this is in support of a specific porting effort, I have only
-// included the intrinsics I needed to get my port to work.

-// Release notes for January 20, 2017 version:
-//
-// The unit tests have been refactored.  They no longer assert on an error, instead they return a pass/fail condition
-// The unit-tests now test 10,000 random float and int values against each intrinsic.
-//
-// SSE2NEON now supports 95 SSE intrinsics.  39 of them have formal unit tests which have been implemented and
-// fully tested on NEON/ARM.  The remaining 56 still need unit tests implemented.
-//
-// A struct is now defined in this header file called 'SIMDVec' which can be used by applications which
-// attempt to access the contents of an _m128 struct directly.  It is important to note that accessing the __m128
-// struct directly is bad coding practice by Microsoft: @see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ayeb3ayc.aspx
-//
-// However, some legacy source code may try to access the contents of an __m128 struct directly so the developer
-// can use the SIMDVec as an alias for it.  Any casting must be done manually by the developer, as you cannot
-// cast or otherwise alias the base NEON data type for intrinsic operations.
-//
-// A bug was found with the _mm_shuffle_ps intrinsic.  If the shuffle permutation was not one of the ones with
-// a custom/unique implementation causing it to fall through to the default shuffle implementation it was failing
-// to return the correct value.  This is now fixed.
-//
-// A bug was found with the _mm_cvtps_epi32 intrinsic.  This converts floating point values to integers.
-// It was not honoring the correct rounding mode.  In SSE the default rounding mode when converting from float to int
-// is to use 'round to even' otherwise known as 'bankers rounding'.  ARMv7 did not support this feature but ARMv8 does.
-// As it stands today, this header file assumes ARMv8.  If you are trying to target really old ARM devices, you may get
-// a build error.
-//
-// Support for a number of new intrinsics was added, however, none of them yet have unit-tests to 100% confirm they are
-// producing the correct results on NEON.  These unit tests will be added as soon as possible.
-//
-// Here is the list of new instrinsics which have been added:
-//
-// _mm_cvtss_f32     :  extracts the lower order floating point value from the parameter
-// _mm_add_ss        : adds the scalar single - precision floating point values of a and b
-// _mm_div_ps        : Divides the four single - precision, floating - point values of a and b.
-// _mm_div_ss        : Divides the scalar single - precision floating point value of a by b.
-// _mm_sqrt_ss       : Computes the approximation of the square root of the scalar single - precision floating point value of in.
-// _mm_rsqrt_ps      : Computes the approximations of the reciprocal square roots of the four single - precision floating point values of in.
-// _mm_comilt_ss     : Compares the lower single - precision floating point scalar values of a and b using a less than operation
-// _mm_comigt_ss     : Compares the lower single - precision floating point scalar values of a and b using a greater than operation.
-// _mm_comile_ss     :  Compares the lower single - precision floating point scalar values of a and b using a less than or equal operation.
-// _mm_comige_ss     : Compares the lower single - precision floating point scalar values of a and b using a greater than or equal operation.
-// _mm_comieq_ss     :  Compares the lower single - precision floating point scalar values of a and b using an equality operation.
-// _mm_comineq_s     :  Compares the lower single - precision floating point scalar values of a and b using an inequality operation
-// _mm_unpackhi_epi8 : Interleaves the upper 8 signed or unsigned 8 - bit integers in a with the upper 8 signed or unsigned 8 - bit integers in b.
-// _mm_unpackhi_epi16:  Interleaves the upper 4 signed or unsigned 16 - bit integers in a with the upper 4 signed or unsigned 16 - bit integers in b.

+/* Function Naming Conventions
+ * The naming convention of SSE intrinsics is straightforward. A generic SSE
+ * intrinsic function is given as follows:
+ *   _mm_<name>_<data_type>
+ *
+ * The parts of this format are given as follows:
+ * 1. <name> describes the operation performed by the intrinsic
+ * 2. <data_type> identifies the data type of the function's primary arguments
+ *
+ * This last part, <data_type>, is a little complicated. It identifies the
+ * content of the input values, and can be set to any of the following values:
+ * + ps - vectors contain floats (ps stands for packed single-precision)
+ * + pd - vectors cantain doubles (pd stands for packed double-precision)
+ * + epi8/epi16/epi32/epi64 - vectors contain 8-bit/16-bit/32-bit/64-bit
+ *                            signed integers
+ * + epu8/epu16/epu32/epu64 - vectors contain 8-bit/16-bit/32-bit/64-bit
+ *                            unsigned integers
+ * + si128 - unspecified 128-bit vector or 256-bit vector
+ * + m128/m128i/m128d - identifies input vector types when they are different
+ *                      than the type of the returned vector
+ *
+ * For example, _mm_setzero_ps. The _mm implies that the function returns
+ * a 128-bit vector. The _ps at the end implies that the argument vectors
+ * contain floats.
+ *
+ * A complete example: Byte Shuffle - pshufb (_mm_shuffle_epi8)
+ *   // Set packed 16-bit integers. 128 bits, 8 short, per 16 bits
+ *   __m128i v_in = _mm_setr_epi16(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8);
+ *   // Set packed 8-bit integers
+ *   // 128 bits, 16 chars, per 8 bits
