These changes have been made in preparation for the work on the
extended coding unit size experiment.

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.

Runborgs results on derflr show consistent results between NEW_INTER
and the previous combination of NEWMVREF and COMPOUND_MODES.

Implements a first version of global motion where the
existing ZEROMV mode is converted to a translation only
global motion mode.
A lot of the code for supporting a rotation-zoom affine
model is also incorporated.
WIP.

It is a minor change, but the essential idea is to use the mv of the
top right block as the nearmv for the bottom left partition in the
sub8x8 block. The change is under the experiment of NEWMVREF.
When all 13 experiments are on (except for INTRABC), the gain is +0.05%:
Worse on bowing_cif: -0.17%
Best on foreman_cif: +0.42%; and bridge_far_cif: +0.40%
The total 13 experiments achieved a gain of +6.97% against base.

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%.

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.

A smooth weighting scheme is used to put more weight
on the intra predictor samples near the left/top boundaries
and decaying it to favor the inter predictor samples more as
we move away from these boundaries in the direction of
prediction.
Results:
derflr: +0.609% with only this experiment
derflr: +3.901% with all experiments

mi_grid_* are arrays of pointer to pointer. They save the pointers that point
to the MIs in cm->mi. But they are unnecessary and complicated. The original
goal was to remove MODE_INFO_t copy. But with an extra MODE_INFO_t pointer
inside MODE_INFO_t, same goal could be achieved.
This commit totally removes the mi_grid_* structures. But there are still
many dummy MODE_INFO_t inside cm->mi which are a waste of memory. Next commit
will do on-demand MODE_INFO_t allocation in order to save these memories.

This commit enables a fast reference motion vector search scheme.
It checks the nearest top and left neighboring blocks to decide the
most probable predicted motion vector. If it finds the two have
the same motion vectors, it then skip finding exterior range for
the second most probable motion vector, and correspondingly skips
the check for NEARMV.
The runtime of speed -5 goes down
pedestrian at 1080p 29377 ms -> 27783 ms
vidyo at 720p 11830 ms -> 10990 ms
i.e., 6%-8% speed-up.
For rtc set, the compression performance
goes down by about -1.3% for both speed -5 and -6.

different_ref_found is always equal to one (if calculated) because
ref_frame[0] != ref_frame[1] for each mi-block.

Prior to this commit, both encoder and decoder reset mode/mv info from
previous frame in error resilient mode to ensure bitstreams are able to
decode when there is loss of frame in decoder side. However, this is
not necessary. This commit changed to remove the reset, so encoder can
continue to use mode/mv/partition information from previously encoded
frame without affecting decodeablilty under loss of frame.

MV struct was ussed to indicate the postition of a MI_BLOCK with row
and col components. The expression was confusing, this commit added a
new stucture "POSITION" with row and col component to better describe
the position of a mi_block.

replaces use of cur_tile_mi_(row|col)_(start|end) by VP9_COMMON, making
it less stateful and more reusable for parallel tile decoding

The sub8x8 check can be directly inferred from block_idx, hence
removed from the arguments if get_sub_block_mv.

mode_info_context was stored as a grid of MODE_INFO structs.
The grid now constists of pointers to MODE_INFO structs. The
MODE_INFO structs are now stored as a stream (decoder only),
eliminating unnecessary copies and is a little more cache
friendly.

mode_info_context was stored as a grid of MODE_INFO structs.
The grid now constists of a pointer to a MODE_INFO struct and
a "in the image" flag. The MODE_INFO structs are now stored
as a stream, eliminating unnecessary copies and is a little
more cache friendly.
For the test clips used, the decoder performance improved
by ~4.3% (1080p) and ~9.7% (720p).
Patch Set 2: Re-encoded clips with latest. Now ~1.7% (1080p)
and 5.9% (720p).

Making code more compact, adding consts, removing redundant arguments,
adding do/while(0) for macros.

The macro block mode info context originally contained an
entry for each 16x16 macroblock. In VP9 each entry refers
to an 8x8 region not a macro block, so the naming is misleading.
This first stage clean up changes the names of 3 entries in the
structure to remove the mb_ prefix.
TODO clean up the nomenclature more widely in respect of
mbmi and bmi.

This is an attempt at rewriting vp9_find_mv_refs_idx. I believe that it gains
about 1-2% decode speed
