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.

Currently nothing is implemented to compute GM parameters, this
just adds the capability to send them in the bitstream if they
were computed. Still need to implement the reconstruction
based on the parameters in reconinter.

Reject ext-inter compound modes before doing full rate distortion
evaluation, if the corresponding single reference modes had a lower

This commit refactors the reference frame structure used in the
dynamic motion vector referencing system, and makes it support
the bi-directional reference frames. This resolves unit test
failure (enc/dec mismatch) when both are turned on.
The compression performance (ref-mv + ext-refs) is improved by
0.2% for lowres.

This patch removed the experiment of BIDIR_PRED and merged the feature
into the experiment of EXT_REFS:
(1) Each frame now has up to 6 reference frames, namely
LAST_FRAME, LAST2_FRAME, LAST3_FRAME, GOLDEN_FRAME, (forward) and
BWDREF_FRAME, ALTREF_FRAME (backward);
LAST4_FRAME has been removed;
(2) First pass still keeps the 8 updates:
KF_UPDATE, LF_UPDATE, GF_UPDATE, ARF_UPDATE, OVERLAY_UPDATE, and
BRF_UPDATE, LAST_BIPRED_UPDATE, BI_PRED_UPDATE;
(3) show_existing_frame==1 is supported in the experiment of EXT_REFS;
(4) New encoding modes are added for both single-ref and compound cases,
through the use of the 2 extra forward references (LAST2 & LAST3)
and the 1 extra backward reference (BWDREF).
RD performance wise, using Overall PSNR: Avg/BDRate

If in vp10/encoder/firstpass.h, change BFG_INTERVAL from 2 to 3, i.e. to
use 2 bi-predictive frames than 1, a further improvement may be
obtained:

Segment level quantizer settings for supertx coded blocks are now
selected based on the minimum of all segment IDs within a supertx
coded block.
This also fixes the 3 adaptive quantization modes with supertx.

This experiment implements non-uniform quantization where
the width of the bins increases gradually to more closely
match a laplacian distribution of the coeficcients.
Performance Gain:

Major parts have been implemented as follows:
(1) Added BRF_UPDATE, LASTNRF_UPDATE, and NRF_UPDATE in firstpass.c;
(2) Added the handling for the scenario of
"cpi->common.show_existing_frame == 1" at the encoder;
(3) Added a new reference frame of BWDREF_FRAME;
(4) Have bwd-ref work with upsampled references.
Note that when the experiment of "ext_refs" turned on, this experiment
will be turned off automatically currently.
RD performance in Overall PSNR has been improved, compared against the
VP10 baseline:
lowres: Avg -3.312; BDRate -3.154
derflr: Avg -1.927; BDRate -1.176
midres: Avg -2.149; BDRate -2.001

Increases number of wedges for smaller block and removes
wedge coding mode for blocks larger than 32x32.
Also adds various other enhancements for subsequent experimentation,
including adding provision for multiple smoothing functions
(though one is used currently), adds a speed feature that decides
the sign for interinter wedges using a fast mechanism, and refactors
wedge representations.
lowres: -2.651% BDRATE
Most of the gain is due to increase in codebook size for 8x8 - 16x16.

The word 'pick' is usually used in functions that make decisions where
the bitstream allows multiple legal choices, and not to limit the
bitstream format itself.

This is the set of 1D transforms that are used in each

Remove the restriction that the neighboring predictor cannot be
used in obmc prediction if it is an interintra or wedgeinterinter
block. The inter predictor of the interintra block, or the first
inter predictor(using LAST or GOLDEN frame) of the wedgeinterinter
block will be exploited in obmc prediction.
Coding gain: 0.248% (2.833%->3.081%) lowres

In the rd loop, check the perf of obmc, whose mv is copied from regular
inter predictor, when wedge interinter is better than regular inter
(previously it will force allow_obmc = 0). The condition of the early
termination before this step is relaxed to avoid skipping too many obmc
predictions. The rates of the overhead are properly calculated for these tools.
The logic of the bitstream syntax:
(a single ref) the interintra flag is sent first, only if it is 0, we
send the obmc flag;
(compound refs) the obmc flag is sent first, only if it is 0, we send
the wedge interinter flag
Coding gain
lowres: 0.428% (2.287%->2.715%)

Speed increase for ext-tx by 20% for a BDRATE drop of 0.26%.
The ext-tx expt becomes -2.66% BDRATE (reduced from -2.92%) for
the lowres set.
It turns out that reducing the set of transforms for intra from
12 to 5 makes very little difference in coding performance (~0.04%).
Most of the performance drop comes from the reduction is transform
set for inter. Currently there is a provision to control that with
a macro.

Rename MI_BLOCK_SIZE.* -> MAX_MIB_SIZE.* (MIB is for MI Block).
Rename MI_MASK.* -> MAX_MIB_MASK.*
There are no functional changes.
This is in preparation for coding the superblock size at the frame
level, which will require some of these constants to become variables.
The new names better reflect future semantics, and hence make the code
clearer.

After porting tile coding from VP9 to VP10, some performance
degradation was seen because of the difference between VP9 and
Vp10 baseline. This patch disabled some features in VP10 while
tile coding is turned on. Also, an encoder control API was added
back for this use case.

Temporarily disable transform type selection for 32x32 transform
