Adds a per-frame, strength adjustable, in loop deringing filter. Uses
the existing vp9_post_proc_down_and_across 5 tap thresholded blur
code, with a brute force search for the threshold.
Results almost strictly positive on the YT HD set, either having no
effect or helping PSNR in the range of 1-3% (overall average 0.8%).
Results more mixed for the CIF set, (-0.5 min, 1.4 max, 0.1 avg).
This has an almost strictly negative impact to SSIM, so examining a
different filter or a more balanced search heuristic is in order.
Other test set results pending.

Replaces the default tables for single coefficient magnitudes with
those obtained from an appropriate distribution. The EOB node
is left unchanged. The model is represeted as a 256-size codebook
where the index corresponds to the probability of the Zero or the
One node. Two variations are implemented corresponding to whether
the Zero node or the One-node is used as the peg. The main advantage
is that the default prob tables will become considerably smaller and
manageable. Besides there is substantially less risk of over-fitting
for a training set.
Various distributions are tried and the one that gives the best
results is the family of Generalized Gaussian distributions with
shape parameter 0.75. The results are within about 0.2% of fully
trained tables for the Zero peg variant, and within 0.1% of the
One peg variant.
The forward updates are optionally (controlled by a macro)
model-based, i.e. restricted to only convey probabilities from the
codebook. Backward updates can also be optionally (controlled by
another macro) model-based, but is turned off by default. Currently
model-based forward updates work about the same as unconstrained
updates, but there is a drop in performance with backward-updates
being model based.
The model based approach also allows the probabilities for the key
frames to be adjusted from the defaults based on the base_qindex of
the frame. Currently the adjustment function is a placeholder that
adjusts the prob of EOB and Zero node from the nominal one at higher
quality (lower qindex) or lower quality (higher qindex) ends of the
range. The rest of the probabilities are then derived based on the
model from the adjusted prob of zero.

As things stand the zero bin mode boost is hurting somewhat.
In part this seems to be because the boost applied as is
interferes with the rd mode selection loop.

Wrote sse2 functions of vp9_short_idct8x8 and vp9_short_idct10_8x8.
Compared to c version, the sse2 version is 2X faster. The decoder
test didn't show noticeable gain since 8x8 idct doesn't take much
of decoding time (less than 1% in my test).

If the intended display size is different than the size the frame is
coded at, then send that size explicitly in the bitstream. Adds a new
bit to the frame header to indicate whether the extra size fields
are present.

Adjust the filter length and strength for each
ARF group based on a measure of difficulty (the boost)
and the active q range.
Remove lower limit on RDMULT value.
Average gains on the different sets in range 0.4%-0.9%.
However the ARNR changes give a very big boost on a
few clips.
Eg. Soccer ~5%, in derf set and Cyclist ~ 10% in the std-hd set

This fix resolves some of the mismatch issues being seen
recently. While this is the right thing to do when tiling
is used for this experiment, it is not the underlying cause
of the the mismatches.
Something else is causing writing outside of the allowable
frame area in the encoder leading to this mismatch.
