Cleans up the experiment. Actually uses reduced counts for backward
updates, and reduced number of probabilities in the context.

No change in bitstream when the experiment is on.

Between expt on and off:
derfraw300 is down only -0.062% (which is better than when expts
were run previously).

The new code is 0x49, 0x83, 0x42

There is nothing particularly special about this code bitstream wise.
Its derivation is the word "sync" coded using 4x6bit alphabetic indices.

The recursive partition type search is enabled down to 4x4, 4x8 and
8x4, followed by the corresponding rate-distortion optimization for
the per-partition encoding mode decisions.

The bit-stream writing/reading synchronized in supporting the
rectangular partition of 8x8 block.

This provides above 1% coding performance gains on derf.

To do next:
1. re-design the rate-distortion loop for inter prediction below 8x8.
2. re-design the rate-distortion loop for intra prediction below 4x4.
3. make the loop-filter aware of rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
4. clean the unused probability models.
5. update default probability values.

This commit modifies the vp9_update_nmv_count_ to support rectangular
partition of 8x8 block.

Change-Id: I3e742f80f18f95b031c1c785d756d9365503c24c

Correct the stride parameter of 4x8 in vp9_sub_pixel_variance4x8_
and vp9_sub_pixel_avg_variance4x8.

Change-Id: I2ca74d4043817503b21737563994270e3b0619ff

Replace vp9_kf_default_bmode_counts structure with
direct default probabilities. The probability structure is
smaller and it removes the need to specify in the bitstream
how to convert the counts to probabilities.

Note that I have concerns still about the size and value of
the large intra mode context. This may cause problems for
HW but it also means we rely heavily on reverse update as
forwards update of a structure this size is problematic. I
intend to review this more generally in the next few days to
see if we can come up with a competitive solution that does
not rely on such a large context.

Deprecate set_block_index. Replace it with get_sb_index_ for
consistency with partition search and bit-stream writing/reading.

Use b_width/height_log2 instead of mi_width/height_log2, to support
4x4 resolution partition types.

Change-Id: Ic1e71981e163c669f7ea6b3c12b831c284c4a494

Replace mi_width/height_log2 with b_width/height_log2 in partition
type parsing at bit-stream writing stage. This allows parsing
resolution at 4x4 block level and makes the 4x4/4x8/8x4 partition
coding consistent with other superblock types.

These building blocks enable rate-distortion optimization search

This patch creates a new inter mode contest that avoids
a dependence on the reconstructed motion vectors from
neighboring blocks. This was a change requested by
a hardware vendor to improve decode performance.

As part of this change I have also made some modifications
to stats output code (under a flag) to allow accumulation of
inter mode context flags over multiple clips

Some further changes will be required to accommodate the
deprecation of the split mv mode over the next few days.

Performance as stands is around -0.25% on derf and
std-hd but up on the YT and YT-HD sets. With further tuning
or some adjustment to the context criteria it should be
possible to make this change broadly neutral.

Change-Id: Ia15cb4470969b9e87332a59c546ae0bd40676f6c

Combining encode_nmv_component with encode_nmv_component_fp

This commit allows the rate-distortion optimization recursion
at encoder to go down to 4x4 block size. It deprecates the use
of I4X4_PRED and SPLITMV syntax elements from bit-stream
writing/reading. Will remove the unused probability models in
the next patch.

The partition type search and bit-stream are now capable of
supporting the rectangular partition of 8x8 block, i.e., 8x4
and 4x8. Need to revise the rate-distortion parts to get these
two partition tested in the rd loop.

Allow motion search multiple times iteratively, and break out
the loop if this search couldn't find better motion vectors.
Limit the maximum number of search to 2.

Tests results:
1. stdhd set: 0.311%(overall psnr); 0.346%(ssim).
positive gain on 10 out of 16 clips(best: 2.746% on sunflower;
worst: -0.434% on old_town_cross).
2. derf set: 0.016%(overall psnr); 0.062%(ssim).
positive gain on half of the clips(best: 0.499% on bowing;
worst: -0.387 on city).

Change band calculation back to simpler model based
on the order in which coefficients are coded in scan order
not the absolute coefficient positions.

With the scatter scan experiment enabled the results were
appear broadly neutral on derf (-0.028) but up a little on std-hd +0.134).

Without the scatterscan experiment on the results were up derf as well.

Use 4x4 block coding for UV components arbitrarily in I4X4_PRED and

out from those of superblocks.

In current code, motion vectors got from single prediction mode are used
in compound prediction mode directly. These motion vectors may not give
accurate prediction since they are searched independently. In this patch,
we took Pascal's suggestion, and did joint motion search in compound
prediction mode to find better motion vectors in this situation.
Test results:
Overall PSNR: 0.570%(derf), 0.918%(stdhd);
SSIM: 0.572%(derf), 1.009%(stdhd);

The encoder is a little slower. This can be improved since some c
code is used in motion search.
