This is the initial patch for supporting 1/8th pel
motion. Currently if we configure with enable-high-precision-mv,
all motion vectors would default to 1/8 pel. Encode and
decode syncs fine with the current code. In the next phase
the code will be refactored so that we can choose the 1/8
pel mode adaptively at a frame/segment/mb level.

Derf results:
http://www.corp.google.com/~debargha/vp8_results/enhinterp_hpmv.html
(about 0.83% better than 8-tap interpoaltion)

Patch 3: Rebased. Also adding 1/16th pel interpolation for U and V

Patch 4: HD results.
http://www.corp.google.com/~debargha/vp8_results/enhinterp_hd_hpmv.html
Seems impressive (unless I am doing something wrong).

Patch 5: Added mmx/sse for bilateral filtering, as well as enforced
use of c-versions of subpel filters with 8-taps and 1/16th pel;
Also redesigned the 8-tap filters to reduce the cut-off in order to
introduce a denoising effect. There is a new configure option
sixteenth-subpel-uv which will use 1/16 th pel interpolation for
uv, if the motion vectors have 1/8 pel accuracy.

With the fixes the results are promising on the derf set. The enhanced
interpolation option with 8-taps alone gives 3% improvement over thei
derf set:

Results on high precision mv and on the hd set are to follow.

Patch 6: Adding a missing condition for CONFIG_SIXTEENTH_SUBPEL_UV in

Patch 7: Cleaning up various debug messages.

Yunqing fixed an oddity in UVIntra skippable evaluation for stable
branch, which brought up the fact that the evaluation is broken.
The issue was that for MBs with 2nd order block, the eob for 1st
order blocks is set at 1. The previous evaluation did not take that
into account. This commit intend to fix the problem. The commit also
absorbed Yunqing's fix for UVIntra skippable evalution.

Test on hd showed some good gains in combination with LPF bias fix:

The bias in picklpf intended to bias toward less greedy in getting
best frame level psnr while maximize overall quality for a clip.
This commit reduced the bias for frames using 8x8 transform to
achieve better compression overall.

The change improve compression by ~.15% consistently on most of the
HD clips tested.

During the work of extend_qrange, we have rolled a factor of 2 from
quantization/dequatnization into 2nd order walsh-hadamard transform.
This commit does the same for the 2nd order haar transform. so they
can share the same quantizaiton process as the 2nd order WHT.

Previously, the scaling related to extended quantize range happens in
dequantization stage, which implies the coefficients form forward
transform are in different scale(4x) from dequantization coefficients
This worked fine when there was not distortion computation done based
on 8x8 transform, but it completely wracked the distortion estimation
based on transform coefficients and dequantized transform coefficients
introduced in commit f64725a0 for macroblocks using 8x8 transform.
This commit fixed the issue by moving the scaling into the stage of
inverse 8x8 transform.

I'm basically not convinced that the concept works at all, let alone
that this is the right place to do it. I think if we want something
like this at all, I should integrate it with the main encoding loop
and re-encode checks in onyx_if.c, and show that it has a significant
benefit (which right now, it doesn't; removing this re-encode check
actually increases all metrics by ~0.15%).

This commit moved segment based loop filter level selection into
the experiment of CONFIG_FEATUREUPDATES. As previous commit noted,
the segment based loop filter selection helps the compression by
~0.1% on cif set, the ongoing experiment CONFIG_FEATUREUPDATES
made encoding updates of the segment based LPF level more efficient,
hence, another .04% gain on cif set. The commit also fixed an issue
previously where encoder/decoder may use different loop filter level
for one of the segments.

Added a frame level flag to indicate if coef probabilities are updated
at all for the frame.

During the experimental work with 8x8 transform, it is discovered that
even in the case of no probability is ever update, cost of transmitting
"no update" for each of probabilities can run up to become a significant
overhead cost. A single bit to indicate no-update for all coef probs
is therefore helpful, which is also demonstrated by the test results:

1. On Cif set:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif_t8x8_updprob.html
(avg psnr: .14%, glb psnr: .14% SSIM: .13%)

2. On HD set:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/HD_t8x8_updprob.html
(avg psnr: .02%  glb psnr: .01% SSIM: .02%)
It should be noted that the gain on HD is smaller because the average bit
rate is much higher in contrast to the overhead bit cost.

For 8x8 transformed macroblock, the 2nd order transform is a 2x2 haar
transform, here there is only 4 coefficients total. A previous merge
changed these to 64, causing crashes when encoding with 8x8 transform
enabled. (i.e. when input video image size > 640x360 ) This commit
reverts them back to 4 and fixes the crashes.

In summary, this commit encompasses a series of changes in attempt to
improve the 8x8 transform based coding to help overall compression
quality, please refer to the detailed commit history below for what
are the rationale underly the series of changes:

a. A frame level flag to indicate if 8x8 transform is used at all.
b. 8x8 transform is not used for key frames and small image size.
c. On inter coded frame, macroblocks using modes B_PRED, SPLIT_MV
and I8X8_PRED are forced to using 4x4 transform based coding, the
rest uses 8x8 transform based coding.
d. Encoder and decoder has the same assumption on the relationship
between prediction modes and transform size, therefore no signaling
is encoded in bitstream.
e. Mode decision process now calculate the rate and distortion scores
using their respective transforms.

Overall test results:
1. HD set
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/HD_t8x8_20120206.html
(avg psnr: 3.09% glb psnr: 3.22%, ssim: 3.90%)
2. Cif set:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif_t8x8_20120206.html
(avg psnr: -0.03%, glb psnr: -0.02%, ssim: -0.04%)
It should be noted here, as 8x8 transform coding itself is disabled
for cif size clips, the 0.03% loss is purely from the 1 bit/frame
flag overhead on if 8x8 transform is used or not for the frame.

---patch history for future reference---
Patch 1:
this commit tries to select transform size based on macroblock
prediction mode. If the size of a prediction mode is 16x16, then
the macroblock is forced to use 8x8 transform. If the prediction
mode is B_PRED, SPLITMV or I8X8_PRED, then the macroblock is forced
to use 4x4 transform. Tests on the following HD clips showed mixed
results: (all hd clips only used first 100 frames in the test)

http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hdmodebased8x8.html
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hdmodebased8x8_log.html

while the results are mixed and overall negative, it is interesting to
see 8x8 helped a few of the clips.

Patch 2:
this patch tries to hard-wire selection of transform size based on
prediction modes without using segmentation to signal the transform size.
encoder and decoder both takes the same assumption that all macroblocks
use 8x8 transform except when prediciton mode is B_PRED, I8X8_PRED or
SPLITMV. Test results are as follows:

http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cifmodebase8x8_0125.html
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hdmodebased8x8_0125log.html

Interestingly, by removing the overhead or coding the segmentation, the
results on this limited HD set have turn positive on average.

Patch 3:
this patch disabled the usage of 8x8 transform on key frames, and kept the
logic from patch 2 for inter frames only. test results on HD set turned
decidedly positive with 8x8 transform enabled on inter frame with 16x16
prediction modes: (avg psnr: .81% glb psnr: .82 ssim: .55%)

http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hdintermode8x8_0125.html
results on cif set still negative overall

Patch 4:
continued from last patch, but now in mode decision process, the rate and
distortion estimates are computed based on 8x8 transform results for MBs
with modes associated with 8x8 transform. This patch also fixed a problem
related to segment based eob coding when 8x8 transform is used. The patch
significantly improved the results on HD clips:

http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hd8x8RDintermode.html
(avg psnr: 2.70% glb psnr: 2.76% ssim: 3.34%)
results on cif also improved, though they are still negative compared to
baseline that uses 4x4 transform only:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif8x8RDintermode.html
(avg psnr: -.78% glb psnr: -.86% ssim: -.19%)

Patch 5:
This patch does 3 things:
a. a bunch of decoder bug fixes, encodings and decodings were verified
to have matched recon buffer on a number of encodes on cif size mobile and
hd version of _pedestrian.
b. the patch further improved the rate distortion calculation of MBS that
use 8x8 transform. This provided some further gain on compression.
c. the patch also got the experimental work SEG_LVL_EOB to work with 8x8
transformed macroblock, test results indicates it improves the cif set
but hurt the HD set slightly.

Tests results on HD clips:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/HD_t8x8_20120201.html
(avg psnr: 3.19% glb psnr: 3.30% ssim: 3.93%)

Test results on cif clips:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif_t8x8_20120201.html
(avg psnr: -.47% glb psnr: -.51% ssim: +.28%)

Patch 6:
Added a frame level flag to indicate if 8x8 transform is allowed at all.
temporarily the decision is based on frame size, can be optimized later
one. This get the cif results to basically unchanged, with one bit per
frame overhead on both cif and hd clips.

Patch 8:
Rebase and Merge to head by PGW.
Fixed some suspect 4s that look like hey should be 64s in regard
to segmented EOB. Perhaps #defines would be bette.
Bulit and tested without T8x8 enabled and produces unchanged
output.

Patch 9:
Corrected misalligned code/decode of "txfm_mode" bit.
Limited testing for correct encode and decode with
T8x8 configured on derf clips.
