[PATCH v2 2/2] app/test: add test_init_m128i using compiler intrinsic

[Andre Muezerie <andremue@linux.microsoft.com>]

This test initializes an __m128i data type using the old
non-portable way used until now and the more portable way
using compiler intrinsics. The test ensures the resulting
values after initialization match.
