Added a function to compute a motion field for a pair of buffers, for use in
finding an affine transform or homography.

This code is to start experiments with global motion models.
The corner detection can be either fast_9 or Harris.
Corner matching is currently based on normalized correlation.
Three flavors of ransac are used to estimate either a
homography (8-param), or an affine model (6-param) or a
rotation-zoom only affine model (4-param).
The highest level API for the library is in vp9_global_motion.h,
where there are two functions - one for computing a single model
and another for computing multiple models up to a maximum number
provided or until a desired inlier probability is achieved.

Remove the duplicated step counting the overhead for ext_tx, because
it has been counted in super_block_yrd().

Also fixes some build issues with certain experimental combinations.

Initial patch to remove get_zbin_mode_boost() and
cpi->zbin_mode_boost.
For now sets a dummy value of 0 for zbin extra pending
a further clean up patch.

(cherry picked from commit 60e9b731cf8945403dbcf149a0f6dc745e5cabe1)
COMPOUND_MODES experiment encodes separate MV modes for each frame in a compound
reference prediction. Added modes NEAREST_NEARESTMV, ZERO_ZEROMV,
NEW_NEWMV, NEAREST_NEARMV, NEAR_NEARESTMV, NEW_NEARESTMV, NEAR_NEWMV,
NEW_NEARMV, and NEAREST_NEWMV.
Also enhances the wedge-partition expt to work better with compound
modes.

derflr +0.227

Implements vertical, horizontal, and tm dpcm intra prediction for
blocks in tx_skip mode. Typical coding gain on screen content video
is 2%~5%.

16x16 and 8x8 transform sizes, both for the regular case and the high
bit depth (CONFIG_VP9_HIGHBITDEPTH) case.

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.
Results:
derflr: +0.609% with only this experiment
derflr: +3.901% with all experiments

Disable SUPERTX mode when lossless mode is enabled because the largest
lossless transform size is 4X4.
Change-Id: I4167959a282728d62354119ced99ca29febabfd1
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 all 9 DST/DCT
variants.
Results with ext_tx experiment:
derflr: +1.338 derflr (improved from 1.12)
Change-Id: I24b5564f96bce6ccaa13d88ca6cb9d0c57000597
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
clips is 11.3% in my test.
