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.

(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().

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.

Keep track of the best and second best full pixel motion vector
candidates, and do subpel search around both of them.
Compression improvement:
lowres 0.22% midres 0.23% hdres 0.18%
No noticeable encoding speed changes observed on lowres test clips.

Originally the uniform quantization function was not being
replaced with the new_quant version in rdopt when new_quant
is turned on. This fixes the bug.

1. Add "best_mv" in MACROBLOCK to store the best motion vector
during motion search, so that we don't need to pass its pointer
to various motion search functions.
2. Declare some functions as static when possible.
3. Fix some indents.

When the prediction residuals are all zero, reset the coeff rate
cost and the distortion value to be zero. This change doesn't affect
lowres set significantly, but improves several clips in the midres
set, like sintel_480p and mobisode2_480p, by a few percents. The
average performance for midres set is improved by 0.2%.

- Use int32_t instead of int in vpx_obmc{variance,sad} functions
- Remove weigthed_src and obmc mask strides and assume contiguous
buffers. These inputs can always be packed as contiguous arrays.

Commit 0d6980d7a1caa592058f8d5d618b012c160772f7 removed some use
of the skip_txfm optimization, and the rest are not productive.
The current use of this optimization is only used with --good
and --cpu-used >= 3, however the overhead of this is higher than the
speedup it yields.
Removing this, and subsequently simplifying model_rd_for_sb yields
a net encoder speedup:
--cpu-used=0 ~1.5% faster
--cpu-used=3 ~2.0% faster
The code simplification is also significant.
