These functions are now used by the encoder.
This is WIP with the goal of creating a common idct/add for
the encoder and decoder. A boost of 1.8% was seen for
the HD rt test clip used.
[Tero] Added needed changes to ARM side.

While doing motion search on a macroblock, we usually call
vp8_find_near_mvs once per reference frame. Actually, for
different reference frames, the only difference in calculating
these near_mvs is they may have different sign_bias, which
causes a sign change in resulting near_mvs. In this change, we
only do find_near_mvs for the first reference frame. For other
reference frames, only need to adjust the near_mvs according to
that reference frame's sign_bias value.

Do the test filtering in the existing backup frame buffer instead of
the original. Copy the original data into extra buffer before doing
the filtering. This way there is no need to restore the original
unfiltered frame at the end of level picking process.
This came up in some discussions with Johann. Thanks!

The example encoder down-samples the input video frames a number of
times with a down-sampling factor, and then encodes and outputs
bitstreams with different resolutions.
Support arbitrary down-sampling factor, and down-sampling factor
can be different for each encoding level.
For example, the encoder can be tested as follows.
1. Configure with multi-resolution encoding enabled:
../libvpx/configure --target=x86-linux-gcc --disable-codecs
--enable-vp8 --enable-runtime_cpu_detect --enable-debug
--disable-install-docs --enable-error-concealment
--enable-multi-res-encoding
2. Run make
3. Encode:
If input video is 1280x720, run:
./vp8_multi_resolution_encoder 1280 720 input.yuv 1.ivf 2.ivf 3.ivf 1
(output: 1.ivf(1280x720); 2.ivf(640x360); 3.ivf(320x180).
The last parameter is set to 1/0 to show/not show PSNR.)
4. Decode:
./simple_decoder 1.ivf 1.yuv
./simple_decoder 2.ivf 2.yuv
./simple_decoder 3.ivf 3.yuv
5. View video:
mplayer 1.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=1280:h=720 -loop 0 -fps 30
mplayer 2.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=640:h=360 -loop 0 -fps 30
mplayer 3.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=320:h=180 -loop 0 -fps 30
The encoding parameters can be modified in vp8_multi_resolution_encoder.c,
for example, target bitrate, frame rate...
Modified API. John helped a lot with that. Thanks!

API was not returning correct partition sizes on arm targets.
The armv5 token packing functions were not storing the information to the
partition size table.
As a fix, have one boolcoder instance allocated for each partition so
that partition sizes are internally available after all partitions
were encoded. This will also allow more flexibility in producing
several partitions in parallel.
Use buffer validation (overflow check) in all ARM bitpacking
functions.

There was an implicit reference frame test order (typically LAST,
GOLD, ARF) in the mode selection logic, but this doesn't provide the
expected results when some reference frames are disabled. For
instance, in real-time mode, the speed selection logic often disables
the ARF modes. So if the user disables the LAST and GOLD frames, the
encoder was always choosing INTRA, when in reality searching the ARF
in this case has the same speed penalty as searching LAST would have
had.
Instead, introduce the notion of a reference frame search order. This
patch preserves the former priorities, so if a frame is disabled, the
other frames bump up a slot to take its place. This patch lays the
groundwork for doing something smarter in the frame test order, for
example considering temporal distance or looking at the frames used by
nearby blocks.

The calculated frame_rate is a state variable in the codec, and
shouldn't be maintained in the configuration struct. Move it to the
main part of cpi so that it isn't clobbered when the configuration
struct is updated. The initial framerate estimate is moved from the
vp8_cx_iface.c wrapper into the body of init_config() in onyx_if.c, so
that it is only called once and not reset on every call to
vp8_change_config().

Call the idct/add after the tokenize. This is WIP with
the goal of creating a common idct/add for the encoder and
decoder. This move is necessary because the decoder's version
of the idct clobbers qcoeff, which is used by the tokenize.

vp8cx_mb_init_quantizer() needs to be called at least once to get
all values calculated. This change added one check to decide if
we could skip initialization or not.

Added code to clip the buffer level to the maximum buffer
size. Without this the buffer level would increase
unchecked.
This bug was found when encoding an essentially static
scene at 2Mb/s. The encoder is unable to generate frames
consistent with the high data-rate because Q bottoms out
at Qmin.
As frames generated are consistently undersized the buffer
level increases and does not get checked against the
maximum size specified by the user (or default).

It is discovered that in rare situations the 2nd order block may
produce a few small magnitude coefficients that has no effect on
reconstruction. The situations are a combination of low quantizer
values (high quality) and low energy in residual signals (content
dependent). This commit added code to detect such cases and reset
the 2nd order block to all 0.
Patch 1 to 4 used code to do all-zero-check on idct result buffer,
and tests on derf set showed a consistent gain of .12%-.14% on all
metrics.But due to a recent change Ie31d90b, the idct result buffer
is not longer populated. So patch 5&6 use an alternative method to
detect the situations. Tests on derf set now shows a consistent
quality gain of .16%-.20%.
As suggested by Jim, Patch 7&8 removed the condition of all first
order block not having any coefficient, instead we reset 2nd order
coefficients to all 0 if sum of absolute value of the coefficients
is small. So it does slightly more than just detecting the oddity
as discussed above, but tests on derf set now show a consistent
gain of .20%-.23% on all metrics.
It is worth noting here that this change does not have any effect
on mid/high quantizer range, it only affects the quantizer value
18 or blow. Within this range, the change helps compression by up
to 2.5% on clips in the derf set.
