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.

derflr: +0.958
With --enable-supertx --enable-ext-tx
derflr: +2.25%
With --enable-supertx --enable-ext-tx --enable-filterintra
derflr: +2.73%

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.

Non-transform option is enabled in both intra and inter modes.
In lossless case, the average coding gain on screen content

stdhd: +0.166%, turns positive a little
derf: -0.036% (very few blocks use the 64x64 mode)
Preliminary 64x64 transform implementation.
Includes all code changes.
All mismatches resolved.
Coding results for derf and stdhd are within noise. stdhd is slightly
higher, derf is slightly lower.
To be further refined.

The existing speed features produce horrible encoding results, almost
30% worse than cpu-used=4, this commit adjust the speed features to
produce relatively resonable results to be within 3%-5% of cpu-used=4.

This commit re-designs the recursive partition search scheme in
rtc speed -5. It first checks if the current block is under cyclic
refresh mode. If so, apply recursive partition search. Otherwise,
perform sub-sampled pixel based partition selection. When the
pre-selection finds the partition size should be 32x32 or above,
use the partition size directly. Otherwise, apply partition search
at nearby levels around the preset partition size.
It is enabled in speed -5. The compression performance of rtc
speed -5 is improved by 9.4%. Speed wise, the run-time goes slower
from 1% to 10%.

Extend --auto-alt-ref from parameter so we can use it to
turn multi-arf on and off from the command line.
For now the range is 0-off, 1-on, 2-multi-arf on.
Rename play_alternate to enable_auto_arf

Currently, the tokens for a tile are stored immediately after its
preceding tile, which causes a dependency. This is unnecessary
since we always allocate enough memory for tokens. Removing
the dependency allows token writing done in parallel. This patch
doesn't change encoding result.
