This flag was added to VP8 to allow a mode where MB-level skipping
was not allowed, saving a bit per mb. It was never used in practice,
and hasn't been tested in VP9, so remove it.

The probabilities derived from these statistics are used in bitstream

use macroblock coding (over superblock coding). Derf gains +0.15%.

Merge various super_block_yrd and super_block_uvrd versions into one
common function that works for all sizes. Make transform size selection
size-agnostic also. This fixes a slight bug in the intra UV superblock
code where it used the wrong transform size for txsz > 8x8, and stores
the txsz selection for superblocks properly (instead of forgetting it).
Lastly, it removes the trellis search that was done for 16x16 intra
predictors, since trellis is relatively expensive and should thus only
be done after RD mode selection.

Gives basically identical results on derf (+0.009%).

The patch adds the flexibility to use standard EOB based coding
on smaller block sizes and nzc based coding on larger blocksizes.
The tx-sizes that use nzc based coding and those that use EOB based
coding are controlled by a function get_nzc_used().
By default, this function uses nzc based coding for 16x16 and 32x32
transform blocks, which seem to bridge the performance gap
substantially.

All sets are now lower by 0.5% to 0.7%, as opposed to ~1.8% before.

Adds an experiment to use a weighted prediction of two INTER
predictors, where the weight is one of (1/4, 3/4), (3/8, 5/8),
(1/2, 1/2), (5/8, 3/8) or (3/4, 1/4), and is chosen implicitly
based on consistency of the predictors to the already
reconstructed pixels to the top and left of the current macroblock
or superblock.

Currently the weighting is not applied to SPLITMV modes, which
default to the usual (1/2, 1/2) weighting. However the code is in
place controlled by a macro. The same weighting is used for Y and
UV components, where the weight is derived from analyzing the Y
component only.

Results (over compound inter-intra experiment)
derf: +0.18%
yt: +0.34%
hd: +0.49%
stdhd: +0.23%

The experiment suggests bigger benefit for explicitly signaled weights.

Pearson correlation for above or left is significantly higher than for
previous-in-scan-order (absolute values depend on position in scan, but
in general, we gain about 0.1-0.2 by using either above or left; using
both basically just makes this even better). For eob branch skipping,
we continue to use the previous token in scan order.

This helps about 0.9% on derf after re-training on a limited data set.
Full re-training and results on larger-resolution clips are pending.

Note that this commit breaks trellis, so we can probably get further
gains out of it by fixing trellis at some later point.

Replaces the default tables for single coefficient magnitudes with
those obtained from an appropriate distribution. The EOB node
is left unchanged. The model is represeted as a 256-size codebook
where the index corresponds to the probability of the Zero or the
One node. Two variations are implemented corresponding to whether
the Zero node or the One-node is used as the peg. The main advantage
is that the default prob tables will become considerably smaller and
manageable. Besides there is substantially less risk of over-fitting
for a training set.

Various distributions are tried and the one that gives the best
results is the family of Generalized Gaussian distributions with
shape parameter 0.75. The results are within about 0.2% of fully
trained tables for the Zero peg variant, and within 0.1% of the
One peg variant.

The forward updates are optionally (controlled by a macro)
model-based, i.e. restricted to only convey probabilities from the
codebook. Backward updates can also be optionally (controlled by
another macro) model-based, but is turned off by default. Currently
model-based forward updates work about the same as unconstrained
updates, but there is a drop in performance with backward-updates
being model based.

The model based approach also allows the probabilities for the key
frames to be adjusted from the defaults based on the base_qindex of
the frame. Currently the adjustment function is a placeholder that
adjusts the prob of EOB and Zero node from the nominal one at higher
quality (lower qindex) or lower quality (higher qindex) ends of the
range. The rest of the probabilities are then derived based on the
model from the adjusted prob of zero.

Increase the motion search range by 4x. Change MV_CLASS tree of the
entropy coding to allow two additional mv classes to cover the
extended motion vector limit. The codec determines the effective
motion search range conditioned on the actual frame dimension.

It provides coding gains:

stdhd 0.39%
yt    0.56%
hd    0.47%

Major coding performance gains are packed in several sequences with
intense motion activities, e.g., ped_1080p gains 7% at high bit-rates,
and on average 3%.

Note: The dynamic progrmaming apporach used in trellis quantization

used instead where branch costs are updated to account for changes
in the nzcs.

Split macroblock and superblock tokenization and detokenization
functions and coefficient-related data structs so that the bitstream
layout and related code of superblock coefficients looks less like it's
a hack to fit macroblocks in superblocks.

In addition, unify chroma transform size selection from luma transform
size (i.e. always use the same size, as long as it fits the predictor);
in practice, this means 32x32 and 64x64 superblocks using the 16x16 luma
transform will now use the 16x16 (instead of the 8x8) chroma transform,
and 64x64 superblocks using the 32x32 luma transform will now use the
32x32 (instead of the 16x16) chroma transform.

Lastly, add a trellis optimize function for 32x32 transform blocks.

HD gains about 0.3%, STDHD about 0.15% and derf about 0.1%. There's
a few negative points here and there that I might want to analyze
a little closer.

This patch makes the encoder's use of ref_frame_map and active_ref_idx
consistent with the decoder. ref_frame_map[] maps a reference buffer
index to its actual location in the yv12_fb array, since many
references may share an underlying buffer. active_ref_idx[] mirrors
cpi->{lst,gld,alt}_fb_idx, holding the active references in each
slot.

This also fixes a bug in setup_buffer_inter() where the incorrect
reference was used to populate the scaling factors.

This patch allows coding frames using references of different
resolution, in ZEROMV mode. For compound prediction, either
reference may be scaled.

To test, I use the resize_test and enable WRITE_RECON_BUFFER
in vp9_onyxd_if.c. It's also useful to apply this patch to
test/i420_video_source.h:

  --- a/test/i420_video_source.h
  +++ b/test/i420_video_source.h
  @@ -93,6 +93,7 @@ class I420VideoSource : public VideoSource {

     virtual void FillFrame() {
       // Read a frame from input_file.
  +    if (frame_ != 3)
       if (fread(img_->img_data, raw_sz_, 1, input_file_) == 0) {
         limit_ = frame_;
       }

This forces the frame that the resolution changes on to be coded
with no motion, only scaling, and improves the quality of the
result.

Ensure that all inter prediction goes through a common code path
that takes scaling into account. Removes a bunch of duplicate
1st/2nd predictor code. Also introduces a 16x8 mode for 8x8
MVs, similar to the 8x4 trick we were doing before. This has an
unexpected effect with EIGHTTAP_SMOOTH, so it's disabled in that
