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 444 videos, a single palette of 3-d colors is
generated for YUV. For 420 videos, there may be two
palettes, one for Y, and the other for UV.
Also fixed a bug when palette and tx-skip are both on.

This commit adds encoder side control for vp9 to set color space info
in the output compressed bitstream.
It also amends the "vp9_encoder_params_get_to_decoder" test to verify
the correct color space information is passed from the encoder end to
decoder end.

(cherry picked from commit e94b415c3479129944a69fafbeacf550fb9237b7)
This commit added a field to vpx_image_t for indicating color space,
the field is also added to YUV_BUFFER_CONFIG. This allows the color
space information pass through the decoder from input stream to the
output buffer.
The commit also updates compare_img() function with added verification
of matching color space to ensure the color space information to be
correctly passed from encode to decoder in compressed vp9 streams.

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.

Disable SUPERTX mode when lossless mode is enabled because the largest
lossless transform size is 4X4.

In lossless coding, tx_size can be larger than 4x4 when transform
skipping is activated. Compared to regular vp9 lossless coding,
performance improvement for derf is about 5%; gain is larger
for screen content videos.

This patch improves the non-transform coding mode. At this
point, the coding gain on screen content videos is about
12% for lossless, an 15% for lossy case.
1. Encode tx_skip flags with context. Y tx_skip flag context is
whether the prediction mode is inter or intra. UV flag context
is Y flag.
2. Transform skipping is less helpful when the Q-index is high.
So it is enabled only when the Q-index is smaller than a
threshold. Currently the threshold is set as 255 for intra blocks,
and 0 for inter blocks.
3. The shift of the prediction residue, when copying them to the
coeff buffer, is set as 3 when the Q-index is larger than a
threshold (currently set as 0), and 2 otherwise.

Extends the ext-tx experiment to include regular and flipped
DST variants. A total of 9 transforms are thus possible for
each inter block with transform size <= 16x16.
In this patch currently only the four ADST_ADST variants
(flipped or non-flipped in both dimensions) are enabled
for inter blocks.
The gain with the ext-tx experiment grows to +1.12 on derflr.
Further experiments are underway.

This should be set right after decoder really start to decode frame
instead setting at the end.
Even decoder does not have a displayable frame to show and return NULL
to application, this should be set too.

Function will jump to error handler when ref buffer is corrupted.
So "xd->corrupted |= ref_buffer->buf->corrupted;" is useless.
