This commit replaces the previous table based intra mode model
coding with a more balanced entropy coding system. It reduces the
decoder lookup table size by 1K bytes. The key frame compression
performance is about even on average. There are a few points where
the compression performance is improved by over 5%. Most test
points are fairly close to the lookup table approach.

This commit makes the tx_block_rd_b() compute the rate and

costs.

If the skip flag is already on, there is no need to further check
the all zero block case. This improves encoding speed at no coding
statistics change.

This commit allows the encoder to force all zero quantized
coefficient block per transform block, if that provides better
rate-distortion trade-off.

This commit enables the rate-distortion optimization for recursive
transform block partition for inter mode blocks based on luma
component. The chroma component infers the transform block size
decision from those of luma component.

This commit makes the rate-distortion estimation of the chroma

inferred from the luma component mode decisions.

This commit separates Hadamard transform/quantization operations
from rate and distortion computation in block_yrd. This allows one
to skip SATD computation when all transform blocks are quantized
to zero. It also uses a new block error function that skips
repeated computation of sum of squared residuals. It reduces the
CPU cycles spent on block error calculation in block_yrd by 40%.

To enable us to the scale-invariant motion estimation
code during mode selection, each of the reference
buffers is scaled to match the size of the frame
being encoded.
This fix ensures that a unit scaling factor is used in
this case rather than the one calculated assuming that
the reference frame is not scaled.

Revised adjustment for rd based on source complexity.
Two cases:
1) Bias against low variance intra predictors
when the actual source variance is higher.
2) When the source variance is very low to give a slight
bias against predictors that might introduce false texture
or features.
The impact on metrics of this change across the test sets is
small and mixed.

This experiment biases the rd decision based on the impact
a mode decision has on the relative spatial complexity of the
reconstruction vs the source.
The aim is to better retain a semblance of texture even if it
is slightly misaligned / wrong, rather than use a simple rd
measure that tends to favor use of a flat predictor if a perfect
match can't be found.
This improves the appearance of texture and visual quality
on specific test clips but is hidden under a flag and currently
off by default pending visual quality testing on a wider Yt set.

The joint_motion_search function alternates prediction
between two reference frames. In order to reuse existing
code, a pointer to the appropriate reference frame is
written into xd->plane[0].pre[0], that the motion
estimation code assumes points to the reference frame.
If this first reference frame was scaled then the
pointer was incorrectly being reset to point to the
unscaled reference frame rather than the scaled
version.

It was tiny when it was orginally marked INLINE. Forcing this function

Frame buffers are now allocated dynamically on-demand.
Entries in the reference frame map, cm->ref_frame_map,
may now be set to -1 (INVALID_IDX) to indicate that
there is not a valid reference buffer in that "slot".
All slots in the reference frame map are now initialized
to the empty state (-1) and each buffer is initialized
to have a reference count of 0.

Note: This feature is still in development.
Add an option for the encoder to decide the resolution
at which to encode each frame.
Each KF/GF/ARF goup is tested to see if it would be
better encoded at a lower resolution. At present, each
KF/GF/ARF is coded first at full-size and if the coded
size exceeds a threshold (twice target data rate) at
the maximum active Q then the entire group is encoded
at lower resolution.
This feature is enabled in vpxenc by setting:
--resize-allowed=1
In addition, if the vpxenc command line also specifies
valid frame dimensions using:
--resize-width=XXXX & --resize_height=YYYY
then *all* frames will be encoded at this resolution.

In frame parallel decode, libvpx decoder decodes several frames on all
cpus in parallel fashion. If not being flushed, it will only return frame
when all the cpus are busy. If getting flushed, it will return all the
frames in the decoder. Compare with current serial decode mode in which
libvpx decoder is idle between decode calls, libvpx decoder is busy
between decode calls.
Current frame parallel decode will only speed up the decoding for frame
parallel encoded videos. For non frame parallel encoded videos, frame
parallel decode is slower than serial decode due to lack of loopfilter
worker thread.
There are still some known issues that need to be addressed. For example:
decode frame parallel videos with segmentation enabled is not right sometimes.

Where there is very subtle motion, especially when combined
with low spatial complexity, the codec sometimes fails to quickly
pick up the ambient motion field.
Once it has been established though the field propagates well using
Nearest and Near MV.
This patch looks specifically at the case where the Nearest and Near
have not been established as non zero vectors and in this case
discounts the cost of searching for a new vector in the rd code.
This will almost certainly have some implications in terms of encode
speed but it should be possible to mitigate the impact in a subsequent
using first pass stats and the local spatial complexity.
Average results for test sets approximately neutral.
