We have renamed following Macros to avoid name confusion:
REFS_PER_FRAME --> INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME
(= ALTREF_FRAME - LAST_FRAME + 1)
MAX_REF_FRAMES --> TOTAL_REFS_PER_FRAME
(= ALTREF_FRAME - INTRA_FRAME + 1)
INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME specifies the maximum number of reference frames
that each Inter frame may use.
TOTAL_REFS_PER_FRAME is equal to INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME + 1, which
counts the INTRA_FRAME.
Further, at the encoder side, since REF_FRAMES specifies the maximum
number of the reference frames that the encoder may store, REF_FRAMES
is usually larger than INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME. For example, in the
ext-refs experiment, REF_FRAMES == 8, which allows the encoder to
store maximum 8 reference frames in the buffer, but
INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME equals to 6, which allows each Inter frame may
use up to 6 frames out of the 8 buffered frames as its references.
Hence, in order to explore the possibility to store more reference
frames in future patches, we modified a couple of array sizes to
accomodate the case that the number of buffered reference frames is
not always equal to the number of the references that are being used
by each Inter frame.

The gm parameters need to have WARPED_PRECISION_BITS precision
until they are written to the bitstream because functions in
reconinter use these parameters before they are written to
the bitstream. Previously, the parameters weren't being converted
to WARPED_PRECISION_BITS until they were read from the bitstream
which causes an encode/decode mismatch.

(1) Apply ALLOW_FILTER_INTRA_MODES flag to the correct place, otherwise
there are bitstream mismatchs when it is 0.
(2) Rename pick_ext_intra_iframe() to pick_ext_intra_interframe().

This commit makes the encoder to use different frame context index
for different frame types. In the baseline setting, it sets the
frame context index of the overlay frame to be different from other
regular inter frames. In the ext-refs setting, it further allows
the backward reference frame to use a different index.
It improves the compression performance for both settings.

lowres 0.12%

Set adaptive_rd_thresh to 0 at speed 0. This allows a thorough mode
search, and eliminates a blocking artifact seen in an encoder test.
Borg test:
1. lowres
Overall PSNR: -0.135%; SSIM: -0.293%;
2. hdres
Overall PSNR: -0.122%; SSIM: -0.208%;
Encoder speed tests: 2% - 6% slower.

Added a new expt rect-tx to be used in conjunction with ext-tx.
[rect-tx is a temporary config flag and will eventually be
merged into ext-tx once it works correctly with all other
experiments].
Added 4x8 and 8x4 tranforms for use initially with rectangular
sub8x8 y blocks as part of this experiment.
There is about a -0.2% BDRATE improvement on lowres, others pending.
When var-tx is on rectangular transforms are currently not used.
That will be enabled in a subsequent patch.

- HBD encoder speed improvement (SSE4.1):
Enable CONFIG_VP9_HIGHBITDEPTH, on Xeon E5-2680,
50 frames, park_joy_1080p, 12-bit,
Encoding time reduces from 4846481 to 4177471 (ms)
- Add unit test to verify bit-exact and EOB calculation
