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.

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.

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.

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

The bulk of the decline in screen content effecincy is from the liquify

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

With this patch, the ZEROMV mode is overloaded to represent
a single global dominant motion using one of three models:
1. True zero translation motion (as before)
2. A translation motion different from 0
3. A Rotation-zoom affine model where the predictor is warped
The actual model used is indicated at the frame level for
each reference frame.
A metric that computes the ratio of the error with a global
non-zero model to the error for zero motion, is used to
determine on the encoder side whether to use one of the two
non-zero models or not.

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.

This commit allows the encoder to process tile coding per 64x64
block. The supported upper limit of tile resolution is the minimum
of frame size and 4096 in each dimension. To turn on, set
--experiment --row-tile
and compile.
It overwrite the old --tile-columns and --tile-rows configurations.
These two parameters now tell the encoder the width and height of
tile in the unit of 64x64 block. For example,
--tile-columns=1 --tile-rows=1
will make a tile contains a single 64x64 block.

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

Besides code cleaning, this patch contains 3 fixes:
(1) Fixed the COMPOUND_MODES for the NEW_NEWMV mode;
(2) Fixed the joint search when the NEAR_FORNEWMV mode (in NEWMVREF)
is being evaluated;
(3) Fixed the WEDGE_PARTITION when the NEAR_FORNEWMV mode (in NEWMVREF)
is being evaluated.
(4) Adjusted the entropy probability value for NEAR_FORNEW mode.
On derflr turning on all 14 experiments (except for global-motion), the
average gain w.r.t. PSNR is +0.07%:
Maximum on bridge_far_cif: +1.02%
Minimum on hallmonitor_cif: -0.16%

Use separate token probabilities and counters for non-transform
blocks (pixel domain) . Initial probabilities are trained with screen_content
clips. On screen_content, it improves coding performance by about
2% (from +16.4% to +18.45%).
The initial probabilities are not optimized for natural videos. So it should
not be used for natural videos. Set FOR_SCREEN_CONTENT as 0/1 to specify
whether or not to enable this patch.
