Litecoin: Runtime detection of SSE2 32bit x86 for Scrypt

* x86_64 and Intel MacOS X always uses scrypt-sse2, non-x86 uses scrypt-generic.
* x86 (not Mac) detects cpuid features and chooses sse2 or generic during runtime.

How to Build with SSE2 Support
==============================
* make litecoind with USE_SSE2=1
* qmake with USE_SSE2=1
