Coding and costing of mv reference signal.

Issues in updating MV ref with COMPANDED_MVREF_THRESH
to be resolved. Ideally the MV precision should be defined based
on absolute MV magnitude not as now the MV ref magnitude.

Update to mv counts moved into bitstream.c because otherwise
if the motion reference is changed at the last minute the encoder
and decoder get out of step in terms of the counts used to update
entropy probs.

Code working on a few test clips but no results yet re benefit vs
signaling cost and no tuning of red loop to test lower cost alternatives
based on the available reference values.

Patch 3. Added check to make sure we don't pick a reference
that would give rise to an uncodeable / out of range residual.

Patch 6-7: Attempt to rebase. OK to submit but best to leave flag off for now.

Patch 9. Remove print no longer needed.

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.

For splitmv, where partitioning is 8x16, 16x8 or 8x8, this patch
uses the 8x8 transform (instead of the 4x4) if txfm_mode is
ALLOW_8X8 or ALLOW_16X16. For TX_MODE_SELECT, splitmv can indicate
which of the 2 transform sizes (4x4 or 8x8) it wants to use.

Gains (with hybridtx4x4/8x8/16x16 and tx_select experiments
enabled) on derf: +0.9%, HD: +0.4%, STD/HD: +0.8% (SSIM or overall
PSNR, both metrics show similar improvements).

within a MB in B_PRED mode. These modes were temporarily
disabled with super-block coding.

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.

Packs the bitstream with each mb's residual following its mode/mv
information.

TODO: There are still a few fields that should be packed into partition
0 but are included in partition 1, due to them being serialized from
write_kfmodes/pack_inter_mode_mvs, which execute after the first
partition is finalized. These need to be separated out into a separate
function, similar to mb_mode_mv_init() in decodemv.c.

This way a caller doesn't need to implement the logic for which (and how
many) tokens to write out to stuff one macroblock worth of EOBs. Make
the actual function implementations static, since they are now only used
in tokenize.c; also do some minor stylistic changes so it follows the
style guide a little more closely; use PLANE_TYPE where appropriate,
remove old (stale) frame_type function arguments; hardcode plane type
where only a single one is possible (2nd order DC or U/V EOB stuffing);
support stuffing 8x8/4x4 transform EOBs with no 2nd order DC.

Change-Id: Ia448e251d19a4e3182eddeb9edd034bd7dc16fa3

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.

Entropy coding takes care of this anyway, and this causes changes to
the txfm size assigned to skip blocks, which can affect the loopfilter
output, thus causing encoder/decoding mismatches.

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.

This commit merges those parts of the CONFIG_NEW_MVREF
that specifically relate to choosing a better set of candidate
MV references into the NEWBESTREFMV experiment.

CONFIG_NEW_MVREF will then be used for changes relating
to the explicit coding of a cost optimized MV reference in the
bitstream as part of MV coding.

Change-Id: Ied982c0ad72093eab29e38b8cd74d5c3d7458b10

Adds a new experiment with redesigned/refactored motion vector entropy
coding. The patch also takes a first step towards separating the
integer and fractional pel components of a MV. However the fractional
pel encoding still depends on the integer pel part and so they are
not fully independent. Further experiments are in progress to see
how much they can be decoupled without affecting performance.
All components including entropy coding/decoding, costing for MV
search, forward updates and backward updates to probability tables,
have been implemented.

Results so far:
derf: +0.19%
std-hd: +0.28%
yt: +0.80%
hd: +1.15%

Patch: Simplifies the fractional pel models:

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
yt:     0.086
hd:     0.198
std-hd: 0.501

Alternative strategy for finding a list of candidate motion
vectors to use as reference values in mv coding and as
nearest and near.

Sort by sad in vp8_find_best_ref_mvs() rather than just
pick the best. Allow 0,0 as a best ref option but not a
nearest or near unless there are no alternatives.

Encode/Decode verified on at least some clips.

Some commented out experimental and stats code still in place.

Gain over existing code averages about 1% on derf (alll metrics)
with improvement on all clips. Other test results pending.

The entropy coding of the mode (nearest/near etc) still
depends upon and requires the old "findnear" code so
this needs looking at and may provide room for further gains.

This commit adds a pick_sb_mode() function which selects the best 32x32
superblock coding mode. Then it selects the best per-MB modes, compares
the two and encodes that in the bitstream.

The bitstream coding is rather simplistic right now. At the SB level,
we code a bit to indicate whether this block uses SB-coding (32x32
prediction) or MB-coding (anything else), and then we follow with the
actual modes. This could and should be modified in the future, but is
omitted from this commit because it will likely involve reorganizing
much more code rather than just adding SB coding, so it's better to let
that be judged on its own merits.

Gains on derf: about even, YT/HD: +0.75%, STD/HD: +1.5%.
