checkasm: aacpsdsp: Tolerate extra intermediate precision in stereo_interpolate

The stereo_interpolate functions add h_step to the values h
BUF_SIZE times. Within the stereo_interpolate C functions, the
values h (h0-h3, h00-h13) are declared as local float variables,
but the compiler is free to keep them in a register with extra
precision.

If the accumulation is rounded to 32 bit float precision after
each step, the less significant bits of h_step end up ignored
and the sum can deviate, affecting the end result more than
the currently set EPS.

By clearing the log2(BUF_SIZE) lower bits of h_step, we make sure
that the accumulation shouldn't differ significantly, regardless
of any extra precision in the accmulating register/variable.

This fixes the aacpsdsp checkasm test when built with clang for
mingw/x86_32.
