Reduces the transform optons for INTRA as well as INTER when
transform size is 16x16 to not use any of the DSTs.
Thus, a total of 10 options are used for 16x16, while 4x4
and 8x8 still uses 17 options.
derflr/hevchd actually improves a little, while hevcmr drops
a little.
About 10% speed improvement.

Under the experiment of EXT_REFS: LAST2_FRAME, LAST3_FRAME, and
LAST4_FRAME.
Coding efficiency: derflr +1.601%; hevchr +1.895%
Speed: Encoder slowed down by ~75%

Remove MISC_FIXES flags except for the changes on MV precision, which
has a 0.1% performance drop.
On derflr, the impact is -0.012%.

Adds a new interpolation experiment.
Improves entropy coding to send the filter type only if
the motion vectors have subpel components.
Adds one new 8-tap smooth filter, and tweaks the others.
derflr: +0.695%
hevcmr: +0.305%
About 5% encode slowdown. No visible impact for decoding.
Also makes the interpolation framework flexible to support both
strictly interpolating filters as well as non-interpolating
filters that filter integer offsets. This is mainly for
further experimentation and if not found useful the code will
be removed.

Currently there are two parts in this experiment: extra directional intra
prediction modes and the filter intra modes migrated from the nextgen branch.
Several macros are defined in "blockd.h" to provide controls of the experiment
settings. Setting "DR_ONLY" as 1 (default is 0) means we only use directional
modes, and skip the filter-intra modes; "EXT_INTRA_ANGLES" (default is 128)
defines the number of different angles we want to support; setting
"ANGLE_FAST_SEARCH" as 1 (default is 1) means we use fast sub-optimal search
for the best prediction angle, instead of exhaustive search. The fast search
is about 6 times faster than the exhaustive search, while preserving about
60% of the coding gains.
With extra directional prediction modes (fast search), we observe the following
code gains (number in parentheses is for all-key-frame setting):
derflr +0.42% (+1.79%)
hevclr +0.78% (+2.19%)
hevcmr +1.20% (+3.49%)
stdhd +0.56%
Speed-wise, about 110% slower for key frames, and 30% slower overall.
The gains of filter intra modes mostly add up with the gains of directional
modes. The overall coding gain of this experiment:
derflr +0.94%
hevclr +1.46%
hevcmr +1.94%
stdhd +1.58%

Allows inter and intra tx_types to have different sets of
transforms for different tx_size/sb_type combinations.

This commit fixes the merge conflicts between master and nextgenv2 and
disable early termination in choose_tx_size() to avoid failure in test.
The test failures are pre-existing, some of the issue were fixed in
masterbase already, so will have another merge to introduce the fixes.

This has various benefits:
- simplify implementations because we don't have to switch between
multiple probability tables depending on frametype
- allows fw subexp and bw adaptivity for partitions/uvmode in keyframes
See issue 1040 point 5.
Change-Id: Ia566aa2863252d130cee9deedcf123bb2a0d3765
Locate them (code-wise) in frame_context, and have them be updated
as any other probability using the subexp forward and adaptive bw
updates.
See issue 1040 point 1.
TODOs:
- real-world default probabilities
- why is counts sometimes NULL in the decoder? Does that mean bw
adaptivity updates only work on some frames? (I haven't looked
very closely yet, maybe this is a red herring.)

Account for rounding in distortion calculation in k-means;
carry out rounding before duplicates removal of base colors;
replace numbers with macros;
use prefix increment.
Slight coding gain (<0.1%) on screen_content testset.

Adds an early termination to the ext_tx search, and also
implements the DST transforms more efficiently.
About 4 times faster with the ext-tx experiment.
There is a 0.09% drop in performance on derflr from 1.735% to
1.648%, but worth it with the speedup achieved.
Change-Id: I2ede9d69c557f25e0a76cd5d701cc0e36e825c7c
Extend the ext_tx experiment to make the UV inter blocks use
the same transform type as the extended transform type used
for Y.
derflr: +1.792% (about +0.06)

In vp9, [0] and [1] had identical meaning, so merge them into a
single value. Make it impossible to code RESET_FRAME_CONTEXT_NONE
for intra_only frames, since that is a non-sensical combination.
See issue 1030.

The fields are always coded in the frame itself, so there is never any
dependency on past frames. In practice, this fixes sign_bias being
ignored when error_resilient_mode=1.
