Split partition probabilities between keyframes and non-keyframes,
since they are fairly different. Also have per-blocksize interframe
y intramode probabilities, since these vary heavily between different
blocksizes.

Lastly, replace default probabilities for partitioning and intra modes
with new ones generated from current codec. Replace counts with actual
probabilities also.

Preliminary patch on a new 4x4 intra mode B_CONTEXT_PRED where the
dominant direction from the context is used to encode. Various decoder
changes are needed to support decoding of B_CONTEXT_PRED in conjunction
with hybrid transforms since the scan order and tokenization depends on
the actual direction of prediction obtained from the context. Currently
the traditional directional modes are used in conjunction with the
B_CONTEXT_PRED, which also seems to provide the best results.

The gains are small - in the 0.1% range.

There is a macro DEFAULT_INTERP_FILTER defined in encoder/onyx_if.c that
is set as EIGHTTAP for now - so SWITCHABLE is not really used. Ideally,
this should be SWITCHABLE but that would make the encoder quite a bit slower.
We will change the default filter to SWITCHABLE once we find a faster way to
search for switchable filters.

Change-Id: Iee91832cdc07e6e14108d9b543130fdd12fc9874

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.

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.

the encoding of intra coding modes on key frame only, the overall

RD costs were local to MACROBLOCK data and had to be copied all the
time to each thread's MACROBLOCK data. Tables moved to a common place
and only pointers are setup for each encoding thread.

vp8_cost_tokens() generates 'int' costs so changed all types to be
int (i.e. removed unsigned).

NOTE: Could do some more cleaning in vp8cx_init_mbrthread_data().

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:

Previously, Y-adaptive UV intra coding only enabled on key frames in
UVINTRA experiment. This commit enabled the same coding for inter
frames, so the encoding of UV intra modes are consistent cross all
frame types. Tests on derf set showed a very small overall gain around
.04%:

http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/interUVintra.html

The gain looks to be reasonable given inta coded MBs is only a
small portion of MBs in inter frames.

This commit tries to do UV intra mode coding adaptive to Y intra mode.
Entropy context is defined as conditional PDF of uv intra mode given
the Y mode. All constants are normalized with 256 to be fit in 8 bits.

This provides further coding efficiency beyond the quantizer adaptive
y intra mode coding. Consistent gains were observed on all clips and
all bit rates for HD all key encoding tests.

This commit added a 3 bit index to the bitstream, the index is used to
look into the intra mode coding entropy context table. The commit uses
the mode stats to calculate the cost of transmitting modes using 8
possible entropy distributions, and selects the distribution that
provides the lowest cost to do the actual mode coding.

Initial test show this provides additional .2%~.3% gain over quantizer
adaptive intra mode coding. So the adaptive intra mode coding provides
a total of .5%(psnr) to .6% gain(ssim) combined for all-key-encoding
