Applies soft-clipping to the int decoder API.

opus_decode() and opus_multistream_decode() now apply soft clipping
before converting to 16-bit int. This should produce better a higher
quality result than hard clipping like we were doing before. The _float()
API isn't affected, but the clipping function is exported so users can
manually apply the soft clipping.
