Speed up ARMv7 support.

When building for ARMv7 with thumb2 instructions, the optimized
`FT_MulFix_arm' assembly routine was not being used.

The reason for this is in the `ftconfig.h' header, namely:

- The assembly routine uses the `smull' instruction which is not
  available when generating Thumb-1 machine code.  It is available
  in Thumb-2 mode, though.

- The header was written a long time ago before Thumb-2 became
  widely popular (e.g. with Android).  So it simply doesn't use the
  assembly routine if the `__thumb__' built-in macro is defined.

- When compiling in Thumb-2 mode, the compiler will define both
  `__thumb__' and `__thumb2__'.

By checking for `(__thumb2__ || !__thumb__)', we ensure that the
assembly routine is only avoided when generating Thumb-1 code.

Given that this is performance-sensitive function, this improves
`ftbench' as follows on a Galaxy Nexus:
