Separates the logic on transform type selection previously spread out
over a number of files into a separate function. Currently the tx_type
field in b_mode_info is not used, but still left in there to eventually
use for signaling the transform type in the bitstream.

Also, now for tx_type = DCT_DCT, the regular integer DCT is used, as
opposed to the floating point DCT used in conjuction with hybrid
transform.

Results change somewhat due to the transform change, but are within
reasonable limits. The hd/std-hd sets are slightly up, while derf/yt
are slightly down.

Merge code blocks for different transform sizes; use MACROBLOCKD as a

duplicate code under #if CONFIG_HYBRIDTRANSFORM/#else blocks. Some style
changes to make it follow the style guide a little better.

Also make some minor stylistic changes to bring the code closer to
the style guide. Remove distinction between inter and intra transform
functions, since both do exactly the same thing except for the check
against SPLITMV for the second-order transform. Remove some commented
out debug code. Remove 8x8/16x16 transform code in encode_inter16x16y(),
since the first-pass only uses 4x4 anyway.

Separates the entropy coding context models for 4x4, 8x8 and 16x16
ADST variants.

There is a small improvement for HD (hd/std-hd) by about 0.1-0.2%.
Results on derf/yt are about the same, probably because there is not
enough statistics.

Results may improve somewhat once the initial probability tables are
updated for the hybrid transforms which is coming soon.

With this change, even if hybridtransform8x8 experiment is off,
8x8 dct is used for the I8x8 mode. However note that the gains
observed with the hybridtransform8x8 experiment will now be less,
since part of the gain is now merged in.

Change-Id: I9afb3880906fd0a1368a374041fc08efcf060c54

Enable ADST/DCT of dimension 16x16 for I16X16 modes. This change provides
benefits mostly for hd sequences.

Set up the framework for selectable transform dimension.

Also allowing quantization parameter threshold to control the use
of hybrid transform (This is currently disabled by setting threshold
always above the quantization parameter. Adaptive thresholding can
be built upon this, which will further improve the coding performance.)

The coding performance gains (with respect to the codec that has all
other configuration settings turned on) are

derf:   0.013

Add local variable in several places to reference the MB mode
info structure. Currently this is usually accessed in the code as
x->e_mbd.mode_info_context->mbmi.* or in some places
xd->mode_info_context->mbmi.*

Resolved some uses of x-> for the MACROBLOCKD structure.

Rebased without dependency on motion reference experiment.

The forward and inverse hybrid transforms are now performed using
single function modules, where the dimension is sent as argument.

Added an inline function clip8b to clip the reconstruction pixels
into range of 0-255.

Change-Id: Id7d870b3e1aefc092721c80c0af6f641eb5f3747

Fixed the code review comments.

Under the htrans8x8 experiment the 8X8 DCT in the
I8X8 mode is replaced with a combination of 8X8 ADST and
DCT.

Overall coding gains with the htrans8x8 experiment are:
derf:   0.486
std-hd: 1.040
hd:     1.063
yt:     0.506

Note that part of the gain comes from bigger transforms
(8x8 instead of 4x4) and part comes from replacing the DCT
wth the ADST.

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.

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:
* Temporal coding experiment for segments (though still only 4 max, it
  will likely be increased).
* Segment feature experiment - to allow various bits of information to
  be coded at the segment level. Features tested so far include mode
  and reference frame information, limiting end of block offset and
  transform size, alongside Q and loop filter parameters, but this set
  is very fluid.
* Support for 8x8 transform - 8x8 dct with 2nd order 2x2 haar is used
  in MBs using 16x16 prediction modes within inter frames.
* Compound prediction (combination of signals from existing predictors
  to create a new predictor).
* 8 tap interpolation filters and 1/8th pel motion vectors.
* Loop filter modifications.
* Various entropy modifications and changes to how entropy contexts and
  updates are handled.
* Extended quantizer range matched to transform precision improvements.

There are also ongoing further experiments that we hope to merge in the
near future: For example, coding of motion and other aspects of the
prediction signal to better support larger image formats, use of larger
block sizes (e.g. 32x32 and up) and lossless non-transform based coding
options (especially for key frames). It is our hope that we will be
able to make regular updates and we will warmly welcome community
contributions.

Please be warned that, at this stage, the codebase is currently slower
than VP8 stable branch as most new code has not been optimized, and
even the 'C' has been deliberately written to be simple and obvious,
not fast.

The following graphs have the initial test results, numbers in the
tables measure the compression improvement in terms of percentage. The
build has  the following optional experiments configured:
--enable-experimental --enable-enhanced_interp --enable-uvintra
--enable-high_precision_mv --enable-sixteenth_subpel_uv

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.

Change-Id: I156e1405d25f81579d579dff8ab9af53944ec49c

As a precursor to encoding 32x32 blocks this cl adds the
ability to encode the frame superblock (=32x32 block) at
a time. Within a SB the 4 indiviual MBs are encoded in
raster-order (NW,NE,SW,SE).

This functionality is added as an experiment which can be
enabled by ispecifying --enable-superblocks in the
command line specified to configure (CONFIG_SUPERBLOCKS
macro in the code).

To make this work I had to disable the two intra
prediction modes that use data from the top-right of the
MB.

On the tests that I have run the results produce
almost exactly the same PSNRs & SSIMs with a very
slightly higher average data rate (and slightly higher
data rate than just disabling the two intra modes in
the original code).

NOTE: This will also break the multi-threaded code.

This replaces the abandoned change:
