Setting FIXED_TX_TYPE as 1 makes the encoder skip tx_type search,
about twice as fast.
This speed feature is off by defualt; we can turn it on when we
want to quickly test new ideas.

This commit aligns the rate-distortion metric for the recursive
transform block partitioning and the super transform. It resolves
the conflicts between these two experiments. The coding performance
gains of the combined experiments (var-tx + super-tx) has been
improved:
derf 0.89% -> 1.9%
hevcmr 1.06% -> 1.8%
stdhd 0.29% -> 1.4%
hevchr 0.80% -> 2.3%

These costs are added in separately just before the computed
ref_costs_* are added in the calling functions, so they were
effectively double counted.

This commit enables entropy coding for dynamic reference motion
vector modes. The probability model is contexted on the ranking
categories of the reference motion vector candidates.

Fixes an issue where the tx_type was not set correctly for
sub8x8 inter and intra blocks. In the current syntax, for
sub8x8 blocks, there is still a single tx_type that is
transmitted. Ideally, this should be searched for the best
rd performance, albeit at the expense of encode speed.
For now, we just set it to DCT_DCT. Previously it was left
incorrectly as what was used for the previous non sub8x8
block.

There were a number of compiler warnings:

Seperate the prediction angle search and fitler search.
It can reduce the computation overhead of filter search by as much
as 85%, while keeping more than 50% of the coding gain.

BD-rate performance improvement (on top of ext-intra):

Average speed impact on some derf clips is about 40% slower (on
top of ext-intra). Speed improvment is a to-do.

This commit generalizes dynamic reference motion vector coding mode
to support multiple candidate modes in the rate-distortion
optimization scheme and to support the selection in the bit-stream
syntax. The maximum number of modes allowed is currently limited to
4. The syntax elements for the dynamic reference motion vector
modes are using binary codes. The scheme supports single reference
frame.
It improves the compression performance

It makes the encoder accounts for the block zero-forcing operation
when optimizing the mode decisions.

This commit allows an adaptive motion vector referencing mode
approach. It checks the available reference motion vector candidate
list and decides the amount of motion vector referencing modes. The
current implementation assumes simple binary coding for the syntax.
The compression performance is improved by
derf 0.11%
hevcmr 0.38%
stdhd 0.09%
hevchr 0.23%
The coding gains due to the new reference motion vector system are
derf 1.0%
hevcmr 1.7%
stdhd 1.4%
hevchr 1.3%

Combinations of different mv modes for two reference frames
are allowed in compound inter modes. 9 options are enabled,
including NEAREST_NEARESTMV, NEAREST_NEARMV, NEAR_NEARESTMV,
NEAREST_NEWMV, NEW_NEARESTMV, NEAR_NEWMV, NEW_NEARMV, ZERO_ZEROMV,
and NEW_NEWMV.
This experiment is mostly deported from the nextgen branch.
It is made compatible with other experiments

Changes to the code for when the ext_tx experiment is not enabled
were merged from master but as var_tx does not exist on master
the changes had not been applied to the case when var_tx experiment
is enabled

NEW2MV is enabled, representing a new motion vector predicted from
NEARMV. It is mostly ported from nextgen, where it was named
NEW_INTER.
A few fixes are done for sub8x8 RDO to correct some misused
mv references in the original patch.
A 'bug-fix' for encoding complexity is done, reducing the additional
encoding time from 50% to 20%. In sub8x8 case, the old patch
did motion search for every interpolation filter (vp9 only
searches once). This fix also slightly improves the coding gain.
This experiment has been made compatible with REF_MV and EXT_REFS.

This commit considers the case where a single reference motion
vector pair is found in the candidate list. It treats this pair
as the effective motion vector for nearestmv mode. This improves
the coding performance by 0.06% for stdhd sets.

Speed-wise with --enable-supertx the encoder is only about 10%
slower than without. Decoding impact is about 30% slowdown.
Note this does not work with ext-tx or var-tx yet. That is
a TODO.

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.

The culprit is on the decode side xd->lossless[i] setup was in wrong
location where segment features are not yet decoded.
Also on the encoder side, transform mode was not set consistently
between when tx_mode is selected and how tx_mode is enforced in
tx size selection.
