This commit finalizes AAC-Main profile encoding support
by implementing all mandatory and optional tools available
in the specifications and current decoders.
The AAC-Main profile reqires that prediction support be
present (although decoders don't require it to be enabled)
for an encoder to be deemed capable of AAC-Main encoding,
as well as TNS, PNS and IS, all of which were implemented
with previous commits or earlier of this year.
Users are encouraged to test the new functionality using either
-profile:a aac_main or -aac_pred 1, the former of which will enable
the prediction option by default and the latter will change the
profile to AAC-Main. No other options shall be changed by enabling
either, it's currently up to the users to decide what's best.
The current implementation works best using M/S and/or IS,
so users are also welcome to enable both options and any
other options (TNS, PNS) for maximum quality.

This commit implements temporal noise shaping support in the
encoder, along with an -aac_tns option to toggle it on or off
(off by default for now). TNS will increase audio quality
and reduce quantization noise by applying a multitap FIR filter
across allowed coefficients and transmit side information to the
decoder so it could create an inverse filter.
Users are encouraged to test the new functionality by enabling
-aac_tns 1 during encoding.
No major bugs are observable at this time so after a while if no
new problems appear and if the current implementation is deemed
of high enough quality and stability it will be enabled by default,
possibly at the same time the encoder has its experimental flag
removed and becomes the standard aac encoder in ffmpeg.

This commit moves the quantizer to a separate header file.
This allows the quantizer to be used from a separate files outside
of aaccoder without having to put another function pointer and will
result in a slight speedup as the compiler can do more optimizations.
This is required for commits following.

This commit removes a redundant argument from the functions in aaccoder.
The argument lambda was redundant as it was just a copy of s->lambda,
to which all functions have access to anyway. This cleans up the function
pointers a bit which is helpful as there are a lot of other search_for_*
functions under development and with them populated it gets messy.

Avoid clipping due to quantization noise to produce audible
artifacts, by detecting near-clipping signals and both attenuating
them a little and encoding escape-encoded bands (usually the
loudest) rounding towards zero instead of nearest, which tends to
decrease overall energy and thus clipping.
Currently fate tests measure numerical error so this change makes
tests using asynth (which are near clipping) report higher error
not less, because of window attenuation. Yet, they sound better,
not worse (albeit subtle, other samples aren't subtle at all).
Only measuring psychoacoustically weighted error would make for
a representative test, so that will be left for a future patch.

This commit moves the generation of ff_aac_pow34sf_tab[] out of the
encoder and into the table generator. The original commit log for
this table in 2011 actually mentions that it should be moved outside
but this never happened.
This is the first commit which cleans up the encoder a little.

This commit implements intensity stereo coding support
to the native aac encoder. This is a way to increase the efficiency
of the encoder by zeroing the right channel's spectral coefficients
(in a channel pair) and rederiving them in the decoder using information
from the scalefactor indices of special band types. This commit
confomrs to the official ISO 13818-7 specifications, although due to
their ambiguity certain deviations have been taken to ensure maximum
sound quality. This commit has been extensively tested and has shown
to not result in audiable audio artifacts unless in extreme cases.
This commit also adds an option, aac_is, which has the value of
0 by default. Intensity Stereo is part of the scalable aac profile
and is thus non-default.
The way IS coding works is that it rederives the right channel's
spectral coefficients from the left channel via the scalefactor
index values left in the right channel. Since an entire band's
spectral coefficients do not need to be coded, the encoder's
efficiency jumps up and it unzeroes some high frequency values
which it previously did not have enough bits to encode. That way
less information is lost than the information lost by rederiving
the spectral coefficients with some error. This is why the
filesize of files encoded with IS do not decrease significantly.
Users wishing that IS coding should reduce filesize are expected
to reduce their encoding bitrates appropriately.
This is V2 of the commit. The old version did not mark ms_mask as
0 since M/S and IS coding are incompactible, which resulted in
distortions with M/S coding enabled. This version also improves
phase detection by measuring it for every spectral coefficient in
the band and using a simple majority rule to determine whether the
coefficients are in or out of phase. Also, the energy values per
spectral coefficient were changed as to reflect the
official specifications.

This commit finalizes the PNS implementation previously added to the encoder
by moving it to a seperate function search_for_pns() and thus making it
coder-generic. This new implementation makes use of the spread field of
the psy bands and the lambda quality feedback paremeter. The spread of the
spectrum in a band prevents PNS from being used excessively and thus preserve
more phase information in high frequencies. The lambda parameter allows
the number of PNS-marked bands to vary based on the lambda parameter and the
amount of bits available, making better choices on which bands are to be marked
as noise. Comparisons with the previous PNS implementation can be found
here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/attachment/wiki/Encode/AAC/
This is V2 of the patch, the changes from the previous version being that this
version uses the new band->spread metric from aacpsy and normalizes the
energy using the group size. These changes were suggested by Claudio Freire
on the mailing list. Another change is the use of lambda to alter the
frequency threshold. This change makes the actual threshold frequencies
vary between +-2Khz of what's specified, depending on frame encoding performance.

This commit enables the function added with commit 7c10b87 and uses that
new function for setting any special scalefactor indices. This commit does
not change the behaviour of the encoder since no bands are being marked as
either NOISE_BT(due to the previous PNS implementation removed in the
previous commit) or INTENSITY_BT2/INTENSITY_BT.

This commit implements the perceptual noise substitution AAC extension. This is a proof of concept
implementation, and as such, is not enabled by default. This is the fourth revision of this patch,
made after some problems were noted out. Any changes made since the previous revisions have been indicated.
In order to extend the encoder to use an additional codebook, the array holding each codebook has been
modified with two additional entries - 13 for the NOISE_BT codebook and 12 which has a placeholder function.
The cost system was modified to skip the 12th entry using an array to map the input and outputs it has. It
also does not accept using the 13th codebook for any band which is not marked as containing noise, thereby
restricting its ability to arbitrarily choose it for bands. The use of arrays allows the system to be easily
extended to allow for intensity stereo encoding, which uses additional codebooks.
The 12th entry in the codebook function array points to a function which stops the execution of the program
by calling an assert with an always 'false' argument. It was pointed out in an email discussion with
Claudio Freire that having a 'NULL' entry can result in unexpected behaviour and could be used as
a security hole. There is no danger of this function being called during encoding due to the codebook maps introduced.
Another change from version 1 of the patch is the addition of an argument to the encoder, '-aac_pns' to
enable and disable the PNS. This currently defaults to disable the PNS, as it is experimental.
The switch will be removed in the future, when the algorithm to select noise bands has been improved.
The current algorithm simply compares the energy to the threshold (multiplied by a constant) to determine
noise, however the FFPsyBand structure contains other useful figures to determine which bands carry noise more accurately.
Some of the sample files provided triggered an assertion when the parameter to tune the threshold was set to
a value of '2.2'. Claudio Freire reported the problem's source could be in the range of the scalefactor
indices for noise and advised to measure the minimal index and clip anything above the maximum allowed
value. This has been implemented and all the files which used to trigger the asserion now encode without error.
The third revision of the problem also removes unneded variabes and comparisons. All of them were
redundant and were of little use for when the PNS implementation would be extended.
The fourth revision moved the clipping of the noise scalefactors outside the second loop of the two-loop
algorithm in order to prevent their redundant calculations. Also, freq_mult has been changed to a float
variable due to the fact that rounding errors can prove to be a problem at low frequencies.
Considerations were taken whether the entire expression could be evaluated inside the expression
, but in the end it was decided that it would be for the best if just the type of the variable were
to change. Claudio Freire reported the two problems. There is no change of functionality
(except for low sampling frequencies) so the spectral demonstrations at the end of this commit's message were not updated.
Finally, the way energy values are converted to scalefactor indices has changed since the first commit,
as per the suggestion of Claudio Freire. This may still have some drawbacks, but unlike the first commit
it works without having redundant offsets and outputs what the decoder expects to have, in terms of the
ranges of the scalefactor indices.

The constant is the value which multiplies the threshold when it gets compared to the energy, larger
values means more noise will be substituded by PNS values. Example when const = 2.2:
