Remove default cortex-a8 tuning.
Probably not even the dominant platform the library is being built for.
Add --cpu= option description to help. The option already exists.
Don't allow passing just --cpu as a no-op.

Under the experiment of CONFIG_LAST4_REF. On derflr testset, using
highbitdepth (HBD), in average PSNR,
(1) LAST2+LAST3+LAST4 obtained +0.361% against LAST2+LAST3;
(2) LAST2+LAST3+LAST4 obtained +1.567% against baesline.

Under experiment CONFIG_LAST3_REF, which can only be turned on when
the experiment of CONFIG_MULTI_REF is on, i.e. LAST3_FRAME can only
be used when LAST2_FRAME is used. CONFIG_LAST3_REF would most likely
be combined with CONFIG_MULTI_REF once the performance improvement
is further confirmed.
On the testset of derflr, using Average PSNR metrics, with HighBitDepth
(HBD) on:
(1) LAST2 HBD obtained +0.579% against base HBD;
(2) LAST2 + LAST3 HBD obtained +0.591% against LAST2 HBD;
(3) LAST2 + LAST3 HBD obtained +1.173% against base HBD.

Under the experiment CONFIG_MULTI_REF. Current version shows
LAST2 vs base in nextgen on the testset of derflr:
(1) 8-bit: Average PSNR +0.53%
(worst: students_cif: -0.247%; best: mobile_cif: 1.902%)
(2) 12-bit HBD: Average PSNR +0.63%
(worst: pamphlet_cif: -0.213%, best: mobile_cif: 2.101%)
More tuning on the reference frame context design and default
probs are being conducted. This version does not guarantee to
work with other experiments in nextgen. A separate CL will address
the working with all other experiments.

Adds an additional transform in the ext_tx experiment that
is a 2d DST1-DST1 combination.
To enable use --enable-ext-tx --enable-dst1.

There are 4 entropy tables to select for initial entropy table,
depending on the frame base q-index. The entropy tables are
trained with derf, yt, and stdhd sets. About 0.2% gain on
the following test sets:

yt 0.277%
stdhd 0.233%
hevclr 0.221%
hevcmr 0.155%

The wavelets implemented are 2/6, 5/3 and 9/7 each with
a lifting based scheme for even block sizes. The 9/7
one is a double implementation currently.
This is to start experiments with:
1. Replacing large transforms (32x32 and 64x64) with wavelets
or wavelet-dct hybrids that can hopefully localize errors better
spatially. (Will also need alternate entropy coder)
2. Super-resolution modes where the higher sub-bands may be
selectively skipped from being conveyed, while a smart
reconstruction recovers the lost frequencies.
The current patch includes two types of 32x32 and 64x64
transforms: one where only wavelets are used, and another
where a single level wavelet decomposition is followed
by a lower resolution dct on the low-low band.

Skip flag is removed from the bitstream for all blocks coded in intra

This commit makes the bit-stream syntax support fast selective tile
decoding in a large scale tile array. It reduces the computational
complexity of computing the target tile offset in the bit-stream
from quadratic to linear scale, while maintaining relatively small
stack space requirement (in the order of 1024 bytes instead of 1M
bytes). The overhead cost due to tile separation remains identical.

Now this is an on-going work on the re-work on the motion vector
references for all Inter coding modes. Currently implementation on
sub8x8 and BLOCK_8X8 is done. More work will be added along the way.
Essetial ideas include:
(1) Added new nearestmv algorithm through adaptive median search, out of
the four nearest neighbors: TOP, LEFT, TOPLEFT, and TOPRIGHT;
(2) Added new sheme for sub8x8 to obtain the mv ref candidates,
specially, mv ref candidates are obtained depending on the sub8x8 mode
of the current block as well as the sub8x8 mode of the neighboring
block;
(3) Added top right corner mv ref candidate whenever it is available;
The adding of the top right mv ref has showed potential in helping such
video clips as bridge_far_cif.

Adds a framework to incorporate a parameterized loop
postfilter in the coding loop after the application of the
standard deblocking loop filter.
The first version uses a straight bilateral filter
where the parameters conveyed are just spatial and
intensity gaussian variances.

This experiment, referred as NEWMVREF, also merged with NEWMVREF_SUB8X8
and the latter one has been removed. Runborgs results show that:
(1) Turning on this experiment only, compared against the base:
derflf: Average PSNR 0.40%; Overall PSNR 0.40%; SSIM 0.35%
(2) Turning on all the experiments including this feature, compared against
that without this feature, on the highbitdepth case using 12-bit:
derflf: Average PSNR 0.33%; Overall PSNR 0.32%; SSIM 0.30%.
Now for highbitdepth using 12-bit, compared against base:
derflf: Average PSNR 11.12%; Overall PSNR 11.07%; SSIM 20.27%.

This framework allows lower quantization bins to be shrunk down or
expanded to match closer the source distribution (assuming a generalized
gaussian-like central peaky model for the coefficients) in an
entropy-constrained sense. Specifically, the width of the bins 0-4 are
modified as a factor of the nominal quantization step size and from 5
onwards all bins become the same as the nominal quantization step size.
Further, different bin width profiles as well as reconstruction values
can be used based on the coefficient band as well as the quantization step
size divided into 5 ranges.
A small gain currently on derflr of about 0.16% is observed with the
same paraemters for all q values.
Optimizing the parameters based on qstep value is left as a TODO for now.
Results on derflr with all expts on is +6.08% (up from 5.88%).
Experiments are in progress to tune the parameters for different
coefficient bands and quantization step ranges.

For all sub8x8 partition, the mv ref has changed to its own nearest_mv
instead of the nearest_mv of the super 8x8 block:
--enable-newmvref-sub8x8: ~0.1% gain for derflr
Besides the above new experiment, code has been cleaned largely for the
sub8x8 motion search, such that the mv ref can be fairly easily changed to
use other options, e.g., the next step's global motion effort.

Incorporates the WRAPLOW macro into the non-highbitdepth transforms
to aid hardware verification between a software C model and an
intended hardware implementation though the use of the configure
options: --enable-experimental --enable-emulate-hardware.
Note that to avoid further discrepancies between the sse/sse2
implementations of the transforms and the C implementation, when the
emulate hardware option is invoked, we also disable sse/sse2/etc.
Also incudes some minor cleanups/renaming etc.

Adds various high bitdepth transform functions and tests.
Much of the changes are related to using typedefs tran_low_t
and tran_high_t for the final transform cofficients and intermediate
stages of the transform computation respectively rather than fixed
types int16_t/int. When vp9_highbitdepth configure flag is off,
these map tp int16_t/int32_t, but when the flag is on, they map
to int32_t/int64_t to make space for needed extra precision.
Change-Id: I3c56de79e15b904d6f655b62ffae170729befdd8
Adds config parameter vp9_highbitdepth, to support highbitdepth profiles.
Also includes most vpx level high bit-depth functions. However
encode/decode in the highbitdepth profiles will not work until
the rest of the code is in place.

This commit adds a configure time option used to enable strict error
checking in decoder to make sure intermediate stage cofficients of
inverse transforms are within valid range of signed 16 bit integer.
For valid VP9 input streams, intermediate stage coefficients should
always stay within the range of a signed 16 bit integer. Coefficients
can go out of this range for invalid/corrupt VP9 streams. However,
strictly checking this range for every intermediate coefficient can
be a burden for decoder, therefore such validation is only enabled
with configure option --enable-coefficient-range-checking.
