Using dispatch is less flaky than precompiling with SSSE3 instructions. It will work on any machine.
I made the dispatching work properly with GCC. I also used the basic nibble2base function in htslib as a base for the default.
From prior discussion in htslib I learned that deoding the qualities can be easily optimized by the compiler including the tricks to do so.
