Currently, when the video frame width is not multiples of 16, the
source buffer has a stride of non-multiples of 16, which forces
an unaligned load in SAD function and hurts the performance. To
avoid that, this change allocates source buffers to be multiples
of 16.

In real-time mode, vp8_sad16x16 function is called heavily in
motion search part. Improvement of this function gives 1.2%
encoding performance gain (real-time mode, tulip clip).

checks added to make sure that cpi->tplist
is freed correctly in vp8_dealloc_compressor_data
and vp8_alloc_compressor_data.

Eliminated unnecessary calculations. Improved performance
by 10% on keyframes and 1.6% overall for the test clip used.

As mentioned in check-in "Improve motion search in real-time mode",
MV prediction calculation causes speed loss for speed 7 and above.
This change added a flag to turn off this calculation for speed>6
in real-time mode.

Applied better MV prediction in real-time mode, which improves
the encoding quality.
Used quarter-pixel search instead of iterative sub-pixel search
for speed >=5 to improve encoding performance.
Tests on the test set showed:
1. For speed=-5, quality improvement: 1.7% on AvgPSNR and 2.1%
on SSIM, performance improvement: 3.6% (This counts in the
performance lose caused by MV prediction calculation in "Improve
MV prediction in vp8_pick_inter_mode() for speed>3").
2. For speed=-8, quality improvement: 2.1% on AvgPSNR and 2.5%
on SSIM. but, 6.9% performance decrease because of MV prediction
calculation. This should be improved later.
Change-Id: I349a96c452bd691081d8c8e3e54419e7f477bebd
Created a new speed 1 which is in the middle of the old
speed 0 and speed 1. (for both quality and performance)

Use 0xFFF0 vice 240 (0xF0) for determining whether the sometimes
implicit bit 3 will be transmitted. This is consistent with the decoder
and encode_mvcomponent().

it's difficult to mux the *_offsets.c files because of header conflicts.
make three instead, name them consistently and partititon the contents
to allow building them as required.

The encoder was not correctly catching transitions in the quantizer
deltas. If a delta_q was set, then the quantizer would be reinitialized
on every frame, but if they transitioned to 0, the quantizer would
not be reinitialized, leading to a encode-decode mismatch.
This bug was triggered by commit 999e155, which sets a Y2 delta Q
for very low base Q levels.

Whe auto keyframe insertion is enabled and conditions are right (scene change)
the encoder can decide to insert a key frame and does a re-encoding. This can
introduce extra latency. In RT mode we do not do the re-encoding of the current
frame but force the next frame to key frame.

Reduce the number of sync points by letting each thread
continue imediatly with a new MB row.
Better multicore scaling, improves performance by 5-20% on ARM multicore.

from vp8cx_encode_intra_macro_block. prediction_error is used when
deciding if a frame should be a keyframe. After reviewing this with
Yaowu, it was pointed out that vp8cx_encode_intra_macro_block
is only called for keyframes, so the accumulation is unnecessary.
