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

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.

Various additional changes were made to make the experiment

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.

This change has been imported from VP9 and
alters the nature and use of exhaustive motion search.
Firstly any exhaustive search is preceded by a normal step search.
The exhaustive search is only carried out if the distortion resulting
from the step search is above a threshold value.
Secondly the simple +/- 64 exhaustive search is replaced by a
multi stage mesh based search where each stage has a range
and step/interval size. Subsequent stages use the best position from
the previous stage as the center of the search but use a reduced range
and interval size.
For example:
stage 1: Range +/- 64 interval 4
stage 2: Range +/- 32 interval 2
stage 3: Range +/- 15 interval 1
This process, especially when it follows on from a normal step
search, has shown itself to be almost as effective as a full range
exhaustive search with step 1 but greatly lowers the computational
complexity such that it can be used in some cases for speeds 0-2.
This patch also removes a double exhaustive search for sub 8x8 blocks
which also contained a bug (the two searches used different distortion
metrics).
For best quality in my test animation sequence this patch has almost
no impact on quality but improves encode speed by more than 5X.
Restricted use in good quality speeds 0-2 yields significant quality gains
on the animation test of 0.2 - 0.5 db with only a small impact on encode
speed. On most natural video clips, however, where the step search
is performing well, the quality gain and speed impact are small.

Adds a new interpolation experiment.
Improves entropy coding to send the filter type only if
the motion vectors have subpel components.
Adds one new 8-tap smooth filter, and tweaks the others.
derflr: +0.695%
hevcmr: +0.305%
About 5% encode slowdown. No visible impact for decoding.
Also makes the interpolation framework flexible to support both
strictly interpolating filters as well as non-interpolating
filters that filter integer offsets. This is mainly for
further experimentation and if not found useful the code will
be removed.

Currently there are two parts in this experiment: extra directional intra
prediction modes and the filter intra modes migrated from the nextgen branch.
Several macros are defined in "blockd.h" to provide controls of the experiment
settings. Setting "DR_ONLY" as 1 (default is 0) means we only use directional
modes, and skip the filter-intra modes; "EXT_INTRA_ANGLES" (default is 128)
defines the number of different angles we want to support; setting
"ANGLE_FAST_SEARCH" as 1 (default is 1) means we use fast sub-optimal search
for the best prediction angle, instead of exhaustive search. The fast search
is about 6 times faster than the exhaustive search, while preserving about
60% of the coding gains.
With extra directional prediction modes (fast search), we observe the following
code gains (number in parentheses is for all-key-frame setting):
derflr +0.42% (+1.79%)
hevclr +0.78% (+2.19%)
hevcmr +1.20% (+3.49%)
stdhd +0.56%
Speed-wise, about 110% slower for key frames, and 30% slower overall.
The gains of filter intra modes mostly add up with the gains of directional
modes. The overall coding gain of this experiment:
derflr +0.94%
hevclr +1.46%
hevcmr +1.94%
stdhd +1.58%

This commit hooks up the rate-distortion optimization system to
fully exploit recursive transform block partition and multiple
transform type. The compression performance of the two experiments
largely adds up. For derf set, ext-tx provides additional 2.1%
coding gains on top of the gains due to recursive transform block
partition (0.69%).

If a block has all coefficients quantized to zero, the codec will
assume that it uses largest transform block size.

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

We have historically added new bits to cat6 whenever we added a new
transform size (or bitdepth, for that matter). However, we have
always coded these new bits regardless of the actual transform size,
which means that for smaller transforms, we code bits that cannot
possibly be set. The coding (quality) impact of this is negligible,
but the bigger issue is that this allows creating bitstreams with
coefficient values that are nonsensible and can cause int overflows,
which then de facto become part of the bitstream spec. By not coding
these bits, we remove this possibility.
See issue 1065.
