this commit removes a number of experiment options from configure
script. the associated experiments are already fully merged, the
options in configure script have no effect at all.

vp8_encode_inter_macroblock() is called in both pick_mb_modes() as
well as encode_sb(), thus the number of macroblocks in the counter
were twice as big as actual numbers. This doesn't affect output.

This allows CONFIG_SUPERBLOCKS experiment to almost compile succesfully,
except for the missing pick_sb_modes() function.

This is to avoid a rare encoder/decoder mismatch for MB using SPLITMV
mode. In decoder, the UV mv can be determined to need clamp, but the
flag is never set in encoder motion vector selection process, and the
clamp is not done in encoding in encoder.

This commit adds lossless compression capability to the experimental
branch. The lossless experiment can be enabled using --enable-lossless
in configure. When the experiment is enabled, the encoder will use
lossless compression mode by command line option --lossless, and the
decoder automatically recognizes a losslessly encoded clip and decodes
accordingly.
To achieve the lossless coding, this commit has changed the following:
1. To encode at lossless mode, encoder forces the use of unit
quantizer, i.e, Q 0, where effective quantization is 1. Encoder also
disables the usage of 8x8 transform and allows only 4x4 transform;
2. At Q 0, the first order 4x4 DCT/IDCT have been switched over
to a pair of forward and inverse Walsh-Hadamard Transform
(http://goo.gl/EIsfy), with proper scaling applied to match the range
of the original 4x4 DCT/IDCT pair;
3. At Q 0, the second order remains to use the previous
walsh-hadamard transform pair. However, to maintain the reversibility
in second order transform at Q 0, scaling down is applied to first
order DC coefficients prior to forward transform, and scaling up is
applied to the second order output prior to quantization. Symmetric
upscaling and downscaling are added around inverse second order
transform;
4. At lossless mode, encoder also disables a number of minor
features to ensure no loss is introduced, these features includes:
a. Trellis quantization optimization
b. Loop filtering
c. Aggressive zero-binning, rounding and zero-bin boosting
d. Mode based zero-bin boosting
Lossless coding test was performed on all clips within the derf set,
to verify that the commit has achieved lossless compression for all
clips. The average compression ratio is around 2.57 to 1.

Added the ability to optionally filter the prediction data
when inter modes are selected (excludes SPLITMV, for now).
The mode selection loop considers both the filtered and
non-filtered prediction data when choosing mode. The filter
can be turned on/off at the frame-level, or signaled for
each MB.

Incorporates mv_ref, mbsplit and second_mv into the adaptive
entropy framework. The mv_ref framework has been modified from
before.
Adds some clean-ups and fixes.
Results with the adaptive entropy experiment are currently up by
+1.93% on derf; +2.33% std-hd and +1.87% yt-hd.
Fixed a nasty intermittent bug.

This patch incorporates adaptive entropy coding of coefficient tokens,
and mode/mv information based on distributions encountered in a frame.
Specifically, there is an initial forward update to the probabilities
in the bitstream as before for coding the symbols in the frame, however
at the end of decoding each frame, the forward update to the
probabilities is reverted and instead the probabilities are updated
towards the actual distributions encountered within the frame.
The amount of update is weighted by the number of hits within each
context.
Results on derf/hd/std-hd are all up by 1.6%.
On derf, the most of the gains come from coefficients, however for the
hd and std-hd sets, the most of the gains come from the mode/mv
information updates.

This commit is to remove two arrays, which contain the probabilities
of how likely each probability in coef_probs table is updated. The
commit changed to use a fixed number "252".
Surprisedly, the overall impact on quality is close to zero, which
basically says the two big static arrays are not helpful at all.
derf: -0.016%, -0.020%
std-hd: 0.000%, -0.013%
yt: -0.022%, +0.007%
yt-hd: -0.038%, +0.034%

This commit added the ability to accumulate the coef stats across
different encodings using an intermediate binary stats files. The
accumulation happens only the binary stats file exists in current
directory. The encoder needs to be built with "ENTROPY_STATS" to
allow the output. The commit also fixed a few formating issues in
output stats file.

Changes to calculation of sr_coded_error to include 0,0 case.
Experimental use of sr_coded_error in calculating correction factor
for estimating the allowable Q range.
Reinstated some code needed for calculating section_intra_rating.
Add flash detection in calculation of KF boost
Increased tolerance in testing candidate key frames (needed with
longer motion search as this tends to slightly increase inter %.
Zbin changes for 8x8.
Other minor adjustments, refactoring and bug fixes.
Reinstated some motion break out clauses in boost loop
as their removal hurt a few 50fps clips badly in the std set.
It may be possible to remove them again later if a better way
can be found of preventing overly long gf intervals.

Variables m & mi were being dereferenced when they might
hold invalid values.
The fix is simply to move these dereferences to after the
point at which mb_row and mb_col are tested for validity.

This fix addresses some problems with very complex clips like
handling of flashes on clips like crew (which was made worse
by an earlier patch (derf and std-hd)).
Most clips a small effect but some between 1 & 2%
Derf +0.039, +0.211%
YT +0.042, +0.083%

Removed the local scaling factor est_max_qcorrection_factor
and related code to simplify estimateq calculation (little effect
anyway)
Cap range of total correction factor.
Slight change to break out case to turn off arf.
