Make framebuffer allocations according to the chroma subsamping
factors in use. A bit is placed in the raw part of the frame header for
each of the two subsampling factors. This will be moved in a future
commit to make them part of the TBD feature set bits, probably only set
on keyframes, etc.

but the vp9_encode_sb() function was operating on them anyway.
This was causing the use of uninitialized memory.

Adjustments take heavier account of the frame near a kf
in deciding boost and limit the total number that can contribute.
Also adjusted the minq calculations such that in most cases we
generate a smaller key frame.
Modified the code that accounts for how static the sequence is and
added some adjustment based on image size. This is still very
crude but smaller images tend to behave better with a larger
delta between KF Q and other frames than larger image formats.
Changes give sizable gains in overall PSNR on all the test sets but the
biggest gains (~3%) were on the std-hd set.
The gains were smaller for SSIM but still significant.
Average PSNR results are mixed because this metric can very easily
be altered by having a very good / lossless coding of one or two frames.
Some of the YT and YT-HD clips in particular have blank lead ins and
allowing lossless coding of these appears to make a big difference to
average PSNR but it reality does not help much at all.

This commit converts the luma versions of vp9_build_inter_predictors_sb
to use a common function. Update the convolution functions to support
block sizes larger than 16x16, and add a foreach_predicted_block walker.
Next step will be to calculate the UV motion vector and implement SBUV,
then fold in vp9_build_inter16x16_predictors_mb and SPLITMV.
At the 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 levels implemented in this commit, each
plane is predicted with only a single call to vp9_build_inter_predictor.
This is not yet called for SPLITMV. If the notion of SPLITMV/I8X8/I4X4
goes away, then the prediction block walker can go away, since we'll
always predict the whole bsize in a single step. Implemented using a
block walker at this stage for SPLITMV, as a 4x4 "prediction block size"
within the BLOCK_SIZE_MB16X16 macroblock. It would also support other
rectangular sizes too, if the blocks smaller than 16x16 remain
implemented as a SPLITMV-like thing. Just using 4x4 for now.
There's also a potential to combine with the foreach_transformed_block
walker if the logic for calculating the size of the subsampled
transform is made more straightforward, perhaps as a consequence of
supporing smaller macroblocks than 16x16. Will watch what happens there.

This is work-in-progress, it implements multiple ARF
encoding behind an experimental flag.
It adds the ability to insert multiple ARF frames into a
single ARF group. This patch implements the reordering
of the coded frames, and implements a fixed-length coding
pattern. It applies a fixed quantizer strategy based on
where the frame is in the coding sequence.
Further work to modify the rate control strategy is
ongoing and will be submitted via a set of future patches.
In this first step, each ARF group is recursively
bisected and an ARF frame added at that position in the
sequence. The recursion continues until ARF frames are
within MIN_GF_INTERVAL frames.
The code sits behind the "multiple-arf" experimental
flag ("CONFIG_MULTIPLE_ARF"). The experimental flag
"oneshotq" ("CONFIG_ONESHOTQ") also needs to be enabled
for this patch to work correctly.

Remove lower limit on RDMULT value.
Average gains on the different sets in range 0.4%-0.9%.

This patch puts in an adjustment to the maximum gf/arf
interval based on the active q range. It sets a fixed
baseline maximum of 16 but can drop this down to 12 at
lower q. This required some re-ordering in the first pass
code to insure we have a Q range estimate before defining
the first gf sequence.
The main gains seed are int he STD hd set on 50fps clips
where previously the interval could rise as high as 25.
On the std hd clip the gains are around 2.8% with limit set
to 300 frames.
When combined with the one shot rate control flags we get
combined of:
derf 1.55% (limit300), yt 7.25%, hd 5.17% std-hd 5.84% (limit300)

Increase the motion search range by 4x. Change MV_CLASS tree of the
entropy coding to allow two additional mv classes to cover the
extended motion vector limit. The codec determines the effective
motion search range conditioned on the actual frame dimension.
It provides coding gains:
stdhd 0.39%
yt 0.56%
hd 0.47%
Major coding performance gains are packed in several sequences with
intense motion activities, e.g., ped_1080p gains 7% at high bit-rates,
and on average 3%.
TODO: Need to further tune the rate control and motion search units.

This patch makes the encoder's use of ref_frame_map and active_ref_idx
consistent with the decoder. ref_frame_map[] maps a reference buffer
index to its actual location in the yv12_fb array, since many
references may share an underlying buffer. active_ref_idx[] mirrors
cpi->{lst,gld,alt}_fb_idx, holding the active references in each
slot.
This also fixes a bug in setup_buffer_inter() where the incorrect
reference was used to populate the scaling factors.

This patch allows coding frames using references of different
resolution, in ZEROMV mode. For compound prediction, either
reference may be scaled.
To test, I use the resize_test and enable WRITE_RECON_BUFFER
in vp9_onyxd_if.c. It's also useful to apply this patch to
test/i420_video_source.h:
--- a/test/i420_video_source.h
+++ b/test/i420_video_source.h
@@ -93,6 +93,7 @@ class I420VideoSource : public VideoSource {

// Read a frame from input_file.
+ if (frame_ != 3)
if (fread(img_->img_data, raw_sz_, 1, input_file_) == 0) {
limit_ = frame_;
}
This forces the frame that the resolution changes on to be coded
with no motion, only scaling, and improves the quality of the
result.

Some minor refactoring code relating to estimates of
bits per MB at a given Q and estimating the allowed Q range.
Most of the changes here were included in a previous commit.
This commit seeks to separate out the refactoring from more
the material changes.
Two #define control flags have been added for experimentation.
ONE_SHOT_Q_ESTIMATE force the two pass encoder to
use its initial Q range estimate for the whole clip even if this results
in a miss on the target data rate. In effect this tightens the Q range
seen at the expense of rate control accuracy.
DISABLE_RC_LONG_TERM_MEM is a related flag that disables the
long term memory in the rate control. Local adjustments are still
made to try and better hit the rate target on a per frame basis but
the impact of rate control misses is not propagated to the remainder
of the clip. This means that for example an overshoot early on will not
cause frames later in the clip to be starved of bits. Again the result
of this relaxation amy be less rate control accuracy especially on short
clips.
The flags are disabled by default for now.

Remove lst_fb_idx, gld_fb_idx, alt_fb_idx, refresh_last_frame,
refresh_golden_frame, refresh_alt_ref_frame from common. Gold/Alt are
encode side conventions. From the decoder's perspective, we want to be
dealing with numbered references.
Updates to active_ref 2 signal mode context switches, vestigial from
refresh_alt_ref_frame. This needs some clean up to make sense with
increased numbers of reference frames, as well as reimplementing the
swapping of alt/golden which was previously done using the
buffer-to-buffer copy mechanism removed in an earlier commit.

Also in some cases there were problems with key
frame sizing again with very flat but noisy content.
These are temporary changes to help alleviate the
visual problems but will almost certainly hurt metric
