Implement overdrive in resonant filter

This patch implements nonlinear distortion in the resonant ladder
filter. It's based on the differential equations in the Huovilainen '04
DAFx paper, but using matrix exponential to compute the evolution of the
state variables. The implementation is scalar (and calls into sqrtf),
but designed to be implemented in very efficient SIMD.
