A tile copy mode is introduced, while allows a tile to use
another tile's coded data directly at bitstream level. This
largely reduces the bit rate in this use case. Our tests
showed that 10% - 20% bit rate reduction was achieved.

1. Made VP8_SET_REFERENCE vpx_codec_control API work in VP9 based
on Ryan Overbeck's patch. (Thanks.)
2. Added vp9cx_set_ref example, which demonstrated how to set
VP8_SET_REFERENCE vpx_codec_control in encoder and decoder. If
we only set_reference in the encoder, the encoder/decoder
mismatch would be observed.
3. Also updated test/cx_set_ref.sh.

Added dq_off_index attribute to mbmi to allow for switching between
dequantization modes.
Reduced number of different dequantization modes from 5 to 3.
Changed dequant_val_nuq to be allow for 3 dequant levels instead of 1.
Fixed lint errors

In large-scale tile coding, when the number of tiles is large and the tile
size is small, using a fixed number of bytes in the tile header to store
tile-data size information as done in current VP9 codec would bring high
overhead for each tile. This patch implemented 2 ways to lower that overhead
and adaptively determine the number of bytes needed for tile-data size
transmission.
The test on a test clip having the tile size of 64x64 showed that the number
of bytes used for storing tile-data size was reduced from 4 to 1, which
substantially improved the compression ratio in large-scale tile coding.

Changes ensure wedge_partition, interintra and palette expts all

When the error resilient mode is on, the decoder resets mode info structure
to zero once per frame. This makes decoder about 10x slower if we decode
a single tile at a time. This patch resolves the issue by only memset mode
info of those decoded tiles. Currently, to decode a frame, tile decoding is
less than 2x slower than frame decoding.

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.

This CL introduces a few macros plus code cleaning on the encoding of
the reference frames. Coding performance remains unchanged.
For the encoding of either the compound reference or the single reference
case, since each bit has different contexts, the tree structure may not
be applied to treat the combined bits as one symbol. It is possible we may
explore the sharing of the same context for all the bits to introduce
the use of tree structure for the next step.

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.

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:
derflr 0.227%
yt 0.277%
stdhd 0.233%
hevclr 0.221%
hevcmr 0.155%
hevchr 0.182%

For the combination of this and removing NEWDV from the tree:

The bulk of the decline in screen content effecincy is from the liquify
clip. These should be recoverable by further entropy tweaks.

If the decoder is configured to decode a tile indexed above the
upper limit, the internal codec will clip the index to the upper
limits.

This commit allows the decoder to decode selective tiles according
to decoder configuration settings. To decode a single tile out of
the provided key frame bit-stream (test_kf.webm), set compiler
configuration:
--enable-experimental --enable-row-tile --enable-key-frame-tile
use the command:
vpxdec -o test_dec.y4m test_kf.webm --tile-row=1 --tile-column=2
where the tile's row and column indexes are 1 and 2, respectively.
To decode all row tiles inside a provided column index, use:
--tile-row=-1 --tile-column=2
To decode all column tiles inside a provided row index, use:
--tile-row=2 --tile-column=-1
