Use vpx_blend_a64_hmask and vpx_blend_a64_vmask to speed up
computing the obmc predictor. Clean up calc_target_weighted_pred.
Encoder speedup: 1.3%
Decoder speedup: 6.5%

- 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.

Weighted single motion search is implemented for obmc predictor.
When NEWMV mode is used, to determine the MV for the current block,
we run weighted motion search to compare the weighted prediction
with (source - weighted prediction using neighbors' MVs), in which
the distortion is the actual prediction error of obmc prediction.
Coding gain: 0.404/0.425/0.366 for lowres/midres/hdres
Speed impact: +14% encoding time
(obmc w/o mv search 13%-> obmc w/ mv search 27%)

Without this patch, the experiment of ext-refs showed almost no coding
gains compared to the baseline. This is because when ext-refs is on, the
use of upsampled reference is off.
With this patch, the ext-refs experiment works with the upsampled
references and shows coding gains in Overall PSNR as follows, with ~5%
slow down for encoding time:
lowres: Avg - -0.965; BDRate - -0.844
derflr: Avg - -0.847; BDRate - -0.669
Note that the previous patch a912c6ec314d816767a4c3eb4e5e1bddcc4c1186
that "Make LAST_FRAME always point to the newly coded frame in ext-refs"
made ext-refs work with the upsampled refereces.

Merge the functions that generate prediction by above/left predictors
for the encoder and the decoder.

Using the up-sampled reference frames in sub-pixel motion search is
enabled as a speed feature for good-quality mode speed 0 and speed 1.

Up-sampled the reference frames to 8 times in each dimension using
the 8-tap interpolation filter. In sub-pixel motion search, use the
up-sampled reference frames to find the best matching blocks. This
largely improved the motion search precision, and thus, improved
the compression quality. There was no change in decoder side.
Borg test and speed test results:
1. On derflr set,
Overall PSNR gain: 1.306%, and SSIM gain: 1.512%.
Average speed loss on derf set was 6.0%.
2. On stdhd set,
Overall PSNR gain: 0.754%, and SSIM gain: 0.814%.
On hevchd set,
Overall PSNR gain: 0.465%, and SSIM gain: 0.527%.
Speed loss on HD clips was 3.5%.

In this experiment, an obmc inter prediction mode is enabled for
>= 8X8 inter blocks. When the obmc flag is on, the regular block-
based motion compensation will be refined by using predictors of
the above and left blocks.
Fixed some compatibility issues with vp9_highbitdepth, supertx,
ref_mv, and ext_interp.

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%
Change-Id: I7e33994ad70c1b2751435620815f867d82172f41
Various additional changes were made to make the experiment
compatible with misc_fixes.
derflr: +0.979%
hevcmr: +0.865%
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.
