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.

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.

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.

This commit re-designs the quantization process for transform
coefficient blocks of size 4x4 to 16x16. It improves compression
performance for speed 7 by 3.85%. The SSSE3 version for the
new quantization process is included.
The average runtime of the 8x8 block quantization is reduced
from 285 cycles -> 255 cycles, i.e., over 10% faster.

Before encoding a frame, calculate and store each 16x16 block's
variance of source difference between last and current frame.
Find partitioning threshold T for the frame from its variance
histogram, and then use T to make partition decisions.
Comparing with fixed 16x16 partitioning, rtc set test showed an
overall psnr gain of 3.242%, and ssim gain of 3.751%. The best
psnr gain is 8.653%.
The overall encoding speed didn't change much. It got faster for
some clips(for example, 12% speedup for vidyo1), and a little
slower for others.
Also, a minor modification was made in datarate unit test.

This commit enables a fast path computational flow for forward
transformation. It checks the sse and variance of prediction
residuals and decides if the quantized coefficients are all
zero, dc only, or more. It then selects the corresponding coding
path in the forward transformation and quantization stage.
It is currently enabled in rtc coding mode. Will do it for rd
coding mode next.
In speed -6, the runtime for pedestrian_area 1080p at 1000 kbps
goes down from 14234 ms to 13704 ms, i.e., about 4% speed-up.
Overall coding performance for rtc set is changed by -0.18%.

This commit enables a background detection approach for adaptive
quantizer control. It combines the cyclic refresh pattern and the
background information to determine the segment id for adaptive
quantizer selection, prior to the non-RD mode decision process.
It hence allows proper quantization information update for a more
precise rate-distortion modeling in the non-RD mode decision.
The compression performance of speed -5 for rtc set is improved
by 2.5%, at no speed change.

This patch sets up a quad_tree structure (pc_tree) for holding all of
pick_mode_context data we use at any square block size during encoding
or picking modes. That includes contexts for 2 horizontal and 2 vertical
splits, one none, and pointers to 4 sub pc_tree nodes corresponding
to split. It also includes a pointer to the current chosen partitioning.
This replaces code that held an index for every level in the pick
modes array including: sb_index, mb_index,
b_index, ab_index.
These were used as stateful indexes that pointed to the current pick mode
contexts you had at each level stored in the following arrays
array ab4x4_context[][][],
sb8x4_context[][][], sb4x8_context[][][], sb8x8_context[][][],
sb8x16_context[][][], sb16x8_context[][][], mb_context[][], sb32x16[][],
sb16x32[], sb32_context[], sb32x64_context[], sb64x32_context[],
sb64_context
and the partitioning that had been stored in the following:
b_partitioning, mb_partitioning, sb_partitioning, and sb64_partitioning.
Prior to this patch before doing an encode you had to set the appropriate
index for your block size ( switch statement), update it ( up to 3
lookups for the index array value) and then make your call into a recursive
function at which point you'd have to call get_context which then
had to do a switch statement based on the blocksize, and then up to 3
lookups based upon the block size to find the context to use.
With the new code the context for the block size is passed around directly
avoiding the extraneous switch statements and multi dimensional array
look ups that were listed above. At any level in the search all of the
contexts are local to the pc_tree you are working on (in?).
In addition in most places code that used to call sub functions and
then check if the block size was 4x4 and index was > 0 and return
now don't preferring instead to call the right none function on the inside.

The feature undergoes prior assumption that the recursive partition
size search from 4x4 to 64x64, hence utilizing information from small
blocks to determine early termination in large block rate-distortion
optimization search. The current codebase is now going from top down.
The previous function might go with not properly initialized values,
hence removed.
Tested on pedestrian_area_1080p at 4000 kbps running under speed 2.
No visible difference in runtime observed.
