This patch allocated frame contexts outside VP9_COMMON. This allows
multiple threads to share the same copy of frame contexts, and
reduces the overhead. It also guarantees the correct update of
these contexts during bitstream packing. This patch doesn't change
encoding result.

Using 4 threads, frame parallel decode is ~3x faster than single thread
decode and around 30% faster than tile parallel decode for frame parallel
encoded video on both Android and desktop with 4 threads. Decode speed is
scalable to threads too which means decode could be even faster with more threads.

The functions b_width_log2 and b_height_log2 only do direct
table fetch. This commit unifies such use cases by using the
table directly and removes these functions.

mi_grid_* are arrays of pointer to pointer. They save the pointers that point
to the MIs in cm->mi. But they are unnecessary and complicated. The original
goal was to remove MODE_INFO_t copy. But with an extra MODE_INFO_t pointer
inside MODE_INFO_t, same goal could be achieved.
This commit totally removes the mi_grid_* structures. But there are still
many dummy MODE_INFO_t inside cm->mi which are a waste of memory. Next commit
will do on-demand MODE_INFO_t allocation in order to save these memories.

Adds config parameter vp9_highbitdepth, to support highbitdepth profiles.
Also includes most vpx level high bit-depth functions. However
encode/decode in the highbitdepth profiles will not work until
the rest of the code is in place.

In the current implementation of the encoder,
frame buffers may come from the wider set of
12 such buffers, and is not restricted to the
8 allowed as reference frames. This is only
an implementation detail and does not affect
the constraint of having a total of 8 reference
buffers overall.

The test to determine if the mode info buffers need
to be resized when the frame size changes was
incorrect, as per bug 837.
By storing the size of the allocated data structure,
a simple test determines whether to allocate more
memory when the frame size changes.

'ref_frame_map' is initialized to -1. avoids using an invalid index if
VP9_GET_REFERENCE/VP8_COPY_REFERENCE controls are issued after a decode
error.

Replaced encoder and decoder functions to get a pointer
to a reference frame with a common function, vp9_get_ref_frame,
and simplified it.

The original implementation only allocates one segmentation map and this
works fine for serial decode. But for frame parallel decode, each thread
need to have its own segmentation map and the last frame segmentation map
should be provided from last frame decoding thread.
After finishing decoding a frame, thread need to serve the old segmentation
map that associate with the previous decoded frame. The thread also need to
use another segmentation map for decoding the current frame.

This patch fixes bug 633:
https://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=633
The first decoded frame does not have to be a keyframe,
it could be an inter-frame that is coded intra-only.
This patch fixes the handling of intra-only frames.
A test vector has also been added that encodes 3
intra-only frames at the start of the clip. The
test vector was generated using the code in the
following patch:

Prepare for frame parallel decoding, the frame buffers must be
separated from the encoder and decoder structure, while the encoder
and decoder will hold the pointer of the BufferPool.

In non frame-parallel decoding, this works the same way as
current decoding scheme. Every time after decoder finish
decoding a frame, it will swap the current mode info pointer
and previous mode info pointer if the decoded frame needs
to be shown. Both mode info pointer and previous mode info
pointer are from mode info arrays.
In frame-parallel decoding, this will become more complicated
as current frame's mode info pointer will be shared with next
frame as previous mode info pointer. But when one decoder
thread finishes decoding one frame and starts to work on next
available frame, it needs to retain the decoded frame's mode
info pointers until next frame finishes decoding. The mode info
index will serve this purpose. The decoder will use different
buffer in the mode info arrays and use the other buffer to save
previous decoded frame’s mode info.

Adds some high-level hooks for profile 2 before further
progress on the implementation.
According to the definitiion in this patch:
1. Profile 2 only supports 10 or 12 bit color but not 8
2. Profile 2 supports all color sampling modes: 444, 422 and 420,
and alpha plane.
3. Profile 3 is currently undefined.
Please consider the definition carefully and suggest modifications
to the definition as needed.

Prior to this commit, both encoder and decoder reset mode/mv info from
previous frame in error resilient mode to ensure bitstreams are able to
decode when there is loss of frame in decoder side. However, this is
not necessary. This commit changed to remove the reset, so encoder can
continue to use mode/mv/partition information from previously encoded
frame without affecting decodeablilty under loss of frame.

This CL changes libvpx to call a function when a frame buffer
is needed for decode. Libvpx will call a release callback when
no other frames reference the frame buffer. This CL adds a
default implementation of the frame buffer callbacks. Currently
only VP9 is supported. A future CL will add support for
applications to supply their own frame buffer callbacks.

Adding RefBuffer to simplify reference buffer management. The struct has a
pointer to image data and scale factors relative to the current frame.

Moving back to scale_factors struct. We don't need anymore x_offset_q4 and
y_offset_q4 because both values are calculated locally inside vp9_scale_mv
function.

The old code would start in a mixed state, where all the reference
frames were pointing to frame buffer 0, but the reference counts
were 0. This is why we needed special code for the first frame.

We only update partition_probs for inter frames but they are constant
for key frames. It is not necessary to have constants inside frame
context and copy them every time. This change reduces FRAME_CONTEXT size
by at least 48 bytes.

update_partition_context / partition_plane_context: this will allow for

The ref's scale_factors are set at frame level, and then copied for
each partition block. Since the struct members are mostly constant,
this patch separated the constant and non-constant members, and
reduced struct copying. This gave 0.5% ~ 1.4% decoder speed gain.

We used set_partition_seg_context() only before calls to:
1. update_partition_context()
2. partition_plane_context()
Moving these functions from vp9_blockd.h to vp9_onyxc_int.h and
inlining set_partition_seg_context into them. After that it is not
necessary to have {above, left}_seg_context fields in MACROBLOCKD struture,
so removing them also.

Renames for consistency with other constants:
NUM_FRAME_TYPES -> FRAME_TYPES
NUM_PARTITION_CONTEXTS -> PARTITION_CONTEXTS
Change-Id: I3db30acb2868eb0a424237c831087b2e264ec47f
Updated the encoder to handle frames that are coded
intra-only. Intra-only frames must be non-showable,
that is, the "show frame" flag must be set to 0 in
the frame header.
Tested by forcing the ARF frames to be coded intra-
only.
Note: The rate control code will need to be modified
to account for intra-only frames better than they
are currently handled.

mode_info_context was stored as a grid of MODE_INFO structs.
The grid now constists of pointers to MODE_INFO structs. The
MODE_INFO structs are now stored as a stream (decoder only),
eliminating unnecessary copies and is a little more cache
friendly.

For the test clips used, the decoder performance improved
