Abstract some more architecture-specific details away from SIMD functionality

Add a typedef to represent vectors containing four 32-bit integers,
and add functions operating on them. Also separate out saturating
subtraction into its own function. The motivation for this is to
prepare for a future commit to add ARM NEON support.
