1. Wiener restoration filter now has normalization and evaluation of
quantization procedure.
2. Corrected scaling of bits in RD cost computation.
3. Changed dynamic range and number of bits for Wiener filter.
Observed gains: Overall 0.58% for low_res, 0.7% for mid_res sequences.

We can optimize wedge partition selection by pre-computing the
residuals of the 2 underlying predictors, and then blend these
to compute the sse of the compound predictor, without actually
having to compute and subtract the compound predictor.
Similarly we can pre-compute a proxy array which we can use to
cheaply check which mask sign would have lower sse.
Details are in wedge_utils.c.
Mathematically these are equivalence transformations, but due to the
finite precision the encoder output will be perturbed, though on
average this should make 0% difference.
ext-inter gains about ~4.5% speedup.

Provides more comprehensive coverage for --enable-coefficient-checking.
The intent is to make the --enable-coefficient-checking option
consistent with the VP9 spec.

This is purely a refactoring patch and has no functional effect.
Uses of these masks can be arranged such that all input blocks are
contiguous in memory (stride == block width). In this case 1D versions
of operations can be used. 1D vector operations have superior performance
over 2D block equivalents as they are more processor cache friendly and
they can do away with a second loop overhead.

Use the same rounding method that is used throughout the codebase,
where the halfway value is rounded up rather than down.

This is for the bidir-pred experiment. Previously the length of the
bi-predictive frame group interval is fixed at 2, i.e. one
bi-predictive frame may be inserted every other frame. This patch
makes the length adjustable, i.e. any positive number may be
specified, but the use of the backward ref will be turned off if the
bi-predictive frame group interval is larger than the golden frame
group.
Further, an additional rate factor level has been added:
INTER_LOW
, which applies to LAST_BIPRED_UPDATE frames that are not used as
references.

Function level timing test shows about 27% time saving on

Rename vp9_dct_sse2.c to vp9_dct_intrin_sse2.c for vp9 and
rename dct_sse2.c to dct_intrin_sse2.c for vp10 to avoid
duplicate basenames.
Actually vp9_fwht4x4_mmx/sse2() and vp10_fwht4x4_mmx/sse2()
are identical. TODO: They should be unified later if there is
no intention to keep a duplicate.

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:

midres: Avg -2.149; BDRate -2.001

Removing redundant calls to memcpy from
build_wedge_inter_predictor_from_buf yields a net 4% encoder speedup

This is to replace vp10/common/reconinter.c:build_masked_compound.
Functionality is equivalent, but the interface is slightly more
generic.
Total encoder speedup with ext-inter: ~7.5%

- Confirm input coeff buffer is 16-byte aligned.
- sizeof() prefer variable name instead of type.
- Fix function name (Capital first letter then Pascal case).
- Long base class name uses a newline (with colon and 4 space indent).
- Remove a unnecessary reference function variable.
- Method declaration precedes variable declaration in class definition.

If a reference block is coded with sub8x8 block size, and if it
has sub-pixel level motion vectors, its prediction filter type
should be used as context information.

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.
