ARF with zero strength temporal filter can be reused by setting the
show_existing_frame = 1, and in this case, there is no need to
refresh the reference frame buffer. However, we used the flag
"refresh_golden_frame" as the identifier for the starting point of a gf
group.
A new flags "is_arf_filter_off" is used to record if the filter with
strengrh zero is used.

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.

The assumption doesn't hold true in the current codebase. Remove

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.
Change-Id: I5514d34a64dd486bbb5756c2d0612946f598a789
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

Bug found by Yunqing relating to the correction for size at 8K and
above in get_twopass_worst_quality().
The basis for the correction was changed to the linear size relative to
1080P as a baseline and the adjustment has been clamped to prevent
problems at extreme images sizes.
For 1080P the results on our test sets were neutral but the low res and
mid res sets saw a small gain (0.1%-0.2% average).
I would also expect some gains on 4k and larger content where the
previous correction was overly aggressive.

This patch changes the encoder only for the ext-refs experiment. For
each newly coded frame to refresh the LAST_FRAME, the decoder is
notified that the LAST4_FRAME is to be refreshed, and read out the
updated reference frame buffer vitural indexes for the next coded
frame in a way that:
LAST4_FRAME => LAST_FRAME,
LAST_FRAME => LAST2_FRAME,
LAST2_FRAME => LAST3_FRAME, and
LAST3_FRAME => LAST4_FRAME.
Compared against the original ext-refs experiment in TOT, a small gain
is achieved in overall PSNR:
lowres Avg: -0.154
lowres BDRate: -0.044

The definition is for the number of frames to check to determine the
recent decay rate, further to determine the next key frame in the
first pass of the encoder.

For the experiment of EXT_REFS, removed the previous special handling
on the new last 3 references, i.e. LAST2_FRAME, LAST3_FRAME, and
LAST4_FRAME, at the decoder, so that these new last references are
treated the same way as the other 3 references (LAST_FRAME,
GOLDEN_FRAME, and ALTREF_FRAME). Encoder changes have been made
accordingly to realize this flexibility.

Some more testing of this patch would probably be useful, but I
think the basics of it should work fine now.

Spatial/temporal svc code was removed. Verified using Borg test,
and the results before and after the change are matching.
