Allows for swtiching/setting interpolation filters at the MB
level. A frame level flag indicates whether to use a specifc
filter for the entire frame or to signal the interpolation
filter for each MB. When switchable filters are used, the
encoder chooses between 8-tap and 8-tap sharp filters. The
code currently has options to explore other variations as well,
which will be cleaned up subsequently.

One issue with the framework is that encoding is slow. I
tried to do some tricks to speed things up but it is still slow.
Decoding speed should not be affected since the number of
filter taps remain unchanged.

With the current version, we are up 0.5% on derf on average but
some videos city/mobile improve by close to 4 and 2% respectively.
If we did a full-search by turning the SEARCH_BEST_FILTER flag
on, the results are somewhat better.

The framework can be combined with filtered prediction, and I
seek feedback regarding that.

Rebased.

Added the ability to optionally filter the prediction data
when inter modes are selected (excludes SPLITMV, for now).

The mode selection loop considers both the filtered and
non-filtered prediction data when choosing mode. The filter
can be turned on/off at the frame-level, or signaled for
each MB.

This patch incorporates adaptive entropy coding of coefficient tokens,
and mode/mv information based on distributions encountered in a frame.
Specifically, there is an initial forward update to the probabilities
in the bitstream as before for coding the symbols in the frame, however
at the end of decoding each frame, the forward update to the
probabilities is reverted and instead the probabilities are updated
towards the actual distributions encountered within the frame.
The amount of update is weighted by the number of hits within each
context.

Results on derf/hd/std-hd are all up by 1.6%.

On derf, the most of the gains come from coefficients, however for the
hd and std-hd sets, the most of the gains come from the mode/mv
information updates.

I now see I didn't write a very long description, so let's do it
here then. We took a pretty big quality hit (0.1-0.2%) from my
recent fix of the inversion of arguments to vp8_cost_bit() in the
RD reference frame costing. I looked into it and basically the
costing prevented us from switching reference frames. This is of
course silly, since each frame codes its own prob_intra_coded, so
using last frame cost indications as a limiting factor can never
be right.

Here, I've rewritten that code to estimate costings based partially
on statistics from progress on current frame encoding. Overall,
this gives us a ~0.2%-0.3% improvement over what we had previously
before my argument-inversion-fix, and thus about ~0.4% over current
git (on derf-set), and a little more (0.5-1.0%) on HD/STD-HD/YT.

These frames can force reference frame (arf), mode (zeromv) and skip,
which means that if we use compound prediction (i.e. arf+last), we
might use a blend of a perfect (arf) and an imperfect (last) predictor,
leading to semi-garbage display and thus a huge drop in SSIM/PSNR (up
to 10dB for some frames I analyzed).

Gives a +0.2% gain on YT.

This is the first patch to add superblock (32x32) coding
order capabilities. It does not yet do any mode selection
at the SB level, that will follow in a further patch.

This patch encodes rows of SBs rather than
MBs, each SB contains 2x2 MBs.

Two intra prediction modes have been disabled since they
require reconstructed data for the above-right MB which
may not have been encoded yet (e.g. for the bottom right
MB in each SB).

Results on the one test clip I have tried (720p GIPS clip)
suggest that it is somewhere around 0.2dB worse than the
baseline version, so there may be bugs.

It has been tested with no experiments enabled and with
the following 3 experiments enabled:
  --enable-enhanced_interp
  --enable-high_precision_mv
  --enable-sixteenth_subpel_uv
in each case the decode buffer matches the recon buffer
(using "cmp" to compare the dumped/decoded frames).
Note: Testing these experiments individually created
errors.

Some problems were found with other experiments but it
is unclear what state these experiments are in:
  --enable-comp_intra_pred
  --enable-newentropy
  --enable-uvintra

This code has not been extensively tested yet, so there
is every likelihood that further bugs remain. I also
intend to do some code cleanup & refactoring in tandem
with the next patch that adds the 32x32 modes.

When ac_yquant>171, a key frame is enabled to use 8x8 transform. In
such case, MBs with DC_PRED or TM_PRED are selected to use T8x8. This
change helped the full STD-HD set by ~.1% or so, which is reasonable
considering how often key frame occurs in these encodings.

Deprecate fast quant and strict_quant code.
Small effect on quality as fast was used in first pass but the
effect is basically neutral across the derf set.

The rationale here is to reduce the number of code paths for
now to make experimentation easier. Optimized and fast code
options can be re-introduced later along with other  encode
speed options.

Various refactoring to make the subpel motion compensation

Two types of 8-tap filters are supported in addition to the existing
bilinar and sixtap filters. One is the default 8-tap and the

This is a code snapshot of experimental work currently ongoing for a
next-generation codec.

The codebase has been cut down considerably from the libvpx baseline.
For example, we are currently only supporting VBR 2-pass rate control
and have removed most of the code relating to coding speed, threading,
error resilience, partitions and various other features.  This is in
part to make the codebase easier to work on and experiment with, but
also because we want to have an open discussion about how the bitstream
will be structured and partitioned and not have that conversation
constrained by past work.

Our basic working pattern has been to initially encapsulate experiments
using configure options linked to #IF CONFIG_XXX statements in the
code. Once experiments have matured and we are reasonably happy that
they give benefit and can be merged without breaking other experiments,
we remove the conditional compile statements and merge them in.

Current changes include:
* T...

Pulled out super block code for the snapshot as this
is not quite ready and will need an extensive re-merge.
