The commit changed to use 3 rows above and 3 cols from left for SAD
scoring for selecting the best reference motion vector. The change
helped std-hd set by >.2% on psnr/ssim metrics.

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%.

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:
* T...

Just a clean-up.

In sub-pixel motion search, the search range is small(+/- 3 pixels).
Preload whole search area from reference buffer into a 32-byte
aligned buffer. Then in search, load reference data from this buffer
instead. This keeps data in cache, and reduces the crossing cache-
line penalty. For tulip clip, tests on Intel Core2 Quad machine(linux)
showed encoder speed improvement:
  3.4%   at --rt --cpu-used =-4
  2.8%   at --rt --cpu-used =-3
  2.3%   at --rt --cpu-used =-2
  2.2%   at --rt --cpu-used =-1

Test on Atom notebook showed only 1.1% speed improvement(speed=-4).
Test on Xeon machine also showed less improvement, since unaligned
data access latency is greatly reduced in newer cores.

Next, I will apply similar idea to other 2 sub-pixel search functions
for encoding speed > 4.

Make this change exclusively for x86 platforms.

Use mpsadbw, and calculate 8 sad at once. Function list:
vp8_sad16x16x8_sse4
vp8_sad16x8x8_sse4
vp8_sad8x16x8_sse4
vp8_sad8x8x8_sse4
vp8_sad4x4x8_sse4

(test clip: tulip)
For best quality mode, this gave encoder a 5% performance boost.
For good quality mode with speed=1, this gave encoder a 3%
performance boost.

These functions should never change their input, and there's no
 reason not to declare that.
This allows them to be passed static const data.

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

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