This patch changes the rc_undershoot_pct and rc_overshoot_pct controls
to set the "aggressiveness" of rate adaptation, by limiting the
amount of difference between the target buffer level and the actual
buffer level which is applied to the target frame rate for this frame.

This patch was initially provided by arosenberg at logitech.com as
an attachment to issue #270. It was modified to separate these controls
from the other unrelated modifications in that patch, as well as to
use the pre-existing variables rather than introducing new ones.

MV sad cost error is only used in full-pixel motion search,
which only need full-pixel resolution instead of quarter-pixel
resolution. This change reduced mvsadcost table size, and
removed unneccessary pamameter passing since this table is
constant once it is generated.

A large number of functions were defined with external linkage, even
though they were only used from within one file. This patch changes
their linkage to static and removes the vp8_ prefix from their names,
which should make it more obvious to the reader that the function is
contained within the current translation unit. Functions that were
not referenced were removed.

These symbols were identified by:

  $ nm -A libvpx.a | sort -k3 | uniq -c -f2 | grep ' [A-Z] ' \
    | sort | grep '^ *1 '

Issue 291 highlighted  the fact that CQ mode was not working
as expected in 1 pass mode,

This commit fixes that specific problem but in so doing I also
uncovered an overflow issue in the VBR code for 1 pass and
some data values not being correctly initialized.

For some clips (particularly short clips), the resulting
improvement is dramatic.

Allow compiling without adding vp8/{common,encoder,decoder} to the
include paths.

The merge includes hooks to for CQ mode and other code
changes merged from the test branch.

CQ mode attempts to maintain a more stable quantizer within a clip
whilst also trying to adhere to a guidline maximum bitrate.

The existing target data rate parameter is used to specify the
guideline maximum bitrate.

A new parameter allows the user to specify a target CQ level.

For normal (non kf/gf/arf) frames, the quantizer will not drop BELOW the
user specified value (0-63). However, in some cases the encoder may
choose to impose a target CQ that is above that specified by the user,
if it estimates that consistent use of the target value is not compatible
with guideline maximum bitrate.

When auto_golden wasn't set it forced all frames to be a golden
frame. Now the manual configured frequency is adhered to.

Change-Id: I360acac9bc487db0d9c4d4da6ee41f70c227c539

On a keyframe alt ref and golden are refreshed.  The flag was
not being set and so on the frame after a keyframe, motion
search would occur on the alt ref frame.  This is not necessary
because the alt ref frame identical to the last frame in this
scenario.

Handle corner case where a forward alt-ref frame is put
directly after a keyframe.

The baseline bits per MB prediction tables have been
re calibrated based on the assumption that bits per mb
is inversely proportional to the quantizer level.

Changes 'The VP8 project' to 'The WebM project', for consistency
with other webmproject.org repositories.

Fixes issue #97.

These changes improve the behaviour of the code with
forced key frames sent in by a calling application.

The sizing of the frames is still suboptimal for two pass in
particular but the behaviour is much better than it was.

The gf_active code is only used by the encoder, so it was moved from
common and decoder.

Change-Id: Iada15acd5b2b33ff70c34668ca87d4cfd0d05025

Previously we had assumed that it was necessary to give a full frame's
bit allocation to the alt ref frame if it has been created through temporal
filtering. This is not the case. The active max quantizer control
insures that sufficient bits are allocated if needed and allocating a
full frame's worth of bits creates an excessive overhead for the ARF.

When the license headers were updated, they accidentally contained
trailing whitespace, so unfortunately we have to touch all the files
again.
