This patch provides a partial rapid feedback of bits
resulting from extreme undershoot.
Some improvement on some problem animated material
but in its current form only a small impact on the metrics results
of our standard test sets.

This patch addresses two issues that can occur when the
encoder chooses to use a mixture of ARF and GF groups.
The first issue relates to a failure to reset the "ARF active" flag
correctly when transitioning from coding ARF groups to coding
GF groups. This caused some golden frames to be encoded
with an incorrect bit rate target as if they were ARF overlay frames.
The second issue relates to the encoding of a single short GF group
just before a key frame. Where the last group before a key frame
is an ARF group we expect the final frame before the key frame to
be an low data rate overlay frame. However, when the last group
is a GF group, the final frame before the key frame should be a normal
frame with a normal bit allocation. This issue had the potential to cause
a single poorly coded frame just before a key frame. If that key frame
were a forced key frame rather than a real scene cut, this might cause
pulsing.

Testing on another rate control patch reveals that in some
situations, where the encoder is flipping in and out of arf
mode, we get an encoder decoder mismatch.
Whilst it is still not clear why, skipping the last buffer
update seems to trigger the problem. Until I can establish
why, or if there is another underlying cause, I am reverting
this change.
This reverts commit e5112b3ae3352c4c55fb31235305f3f80f4b8f7e.

With the sad functions, and hopefully the variance functions soon,
moving to the vpx_dsp location, place the defines used in the
reference C code in a common location.

The computation of new metrics is not supported yet in highbitdepth
mode. This commit adds protection to make sure the computation is
done only when highbitdepth is not on. This protection shall be
revised when support of highbitdpeth computation is added.
This resolves the encoder crash when configured with both
--enable-internal-stats
--enable-vp9-highbitdepth

Where a frame appears to be a repeat of an earlier
frame or frame buffer, but the first pass code
does not anticipate this (usually because it is matching
the GF or ARF buffer not the last frame buffer), do not
update the last frame buffer.
This helps ensure that the content of the last frame buffer
is kept "different" where possible, and not updated to
match the GF or ARF. This is particularly helpful in some
animated sequences where there are groups of repeating
frames. Here it has quite a big impact. However, in most
of our standard test clips it has little or no impact.

Create a new component, vpx_dsp, for code that can be shared
between codecs. Move the SAD code into the component.
This reduces the size of vpxenc/dec by 36k on x86_64 builds.

For the test clip used, the decoder performance improved by ~2%.
This is also an intermediate step towards adding back the
mode_info streams.

PSNR HVS is a human visual system weighted version of SNR that's
gained some popularity from academia and apparently better matches
MOS testing.
This code is borrowed from the Daala Project but uses our FDCT code.

The vbp thresholds are set seperately for boosted/non-boosted
superblocks according to their segment_id. This way we don't
have to force the boosted blocks to split to 32x32.
Speed 6 RTC set borg test result showed some quality gains.
Overall PSNR: +0.199%; Avg PSNR: +0.245%; SSIM: +0.802%.
No speed change was observed.

For non-SVC 1 pass CBR: make the GF update interval a multiple of the
cyclic refresh period, and use encoding stats to prevent GF update at certain times.

Frame buffers are now allocated dynamically on-demand.
Entries in the reference frame map, cm->ref_frame_map,
may now be set to -1 (INVALID_IDX) to indicate that
there is not a valid reference buffer in that "slot".
All slots in the reference frame map are now initialized
to the empty state (-1) and each buffer is initialized
to have a reference count of 0.

Simple skin detection, from vp8; works reasonable on most of the
RTC clips, but could miss sometimes.
Added debug flag to write out skin map over source input.
