avcodec/jpeg2000: replace naive pow call with smarter exp2fi

pow is a very wasteful function for this purpose. A low hanging fruit
would be simply to replace with exp2f, and that does yield some speedup.
However, there are 2 drawbacks of this:
1. It does not exploit the integer nature of the argument.
2. (minor) Some platforms lack a proper exp2f routine, making benefits available
only to non broken libm.
3. exp2f does not solve the same issue that plagues pow, namely terrible
worst case performance. This is a fundamental issue known as the
"table-maker's dilemma" recognized by Prof. Kahan himself and
subsequently elaborated and researched by many others. All this is clear from benchmarks below.

This exploits the IEEE-754 format to get very good performance even in
the worst case for integer powers of 2. This solves all the issues noted
above. Function tested with clang usan over [-1000, 1000] (beyond range of
relevance for this, which is [-255, 255]), patch itself with FATE.

Benchmarks obtained on x86-64, Haswell, GNU-Linux via 10^5 iterations of
the pow call, START/STOP, and command ffplay ~/samples/jpeg2000/chiens_dcinema2K.mxf.
Low number of runs also given to prove the point about worst case:
