Interpreter: software-based flush-to-zero
bDAZ is now called bFlushToZero to better reflect what it's actually used for. I decided not to support any hardware-based flush-to-zero on systems that don't support this for both inputs _and_ outputs. It makes the code cleaner and the intersection of CPUs that support SSE2 but not DAZ should be very small.
