The first implementation of the firstpass motion map for motion
compensated temporal filtering created a file, fpmotionmap.stt,
in the current working directory. This was not safe for multiple
encoder instances. This patch merges this data into the first pass
stats packet interface, so that it is handled like the other
(numerical) firstpass stats.
The new stats packet is defined as follows:
Numerical Stats (16 doubles) -- 128 bytes
Motion Map -- 1 byte / Macroblock
Padding -- to align packet to 8 bytes
The fpmotionmap.stt file can still be generated for debugging
purposes in the same way that the textual version of the stats
are available (defining OUTPUT_FPF in firstpass.c)

This rewriting reflects changes made in commit "Improve the
accuracy of forward walsh-hadamard transform". Since this function
is not called much, only a small encoder performance gain (~0.5% )
is seen.

Instead of doing 8-bit data unpack and 16-bit subtraction, use
psubb to do 16 8-bit subtractions and pcmpgtb to preserve the
sign information. This does not bring noticable gain since
these functions are not called frequently.

when a subsequent frame is encoded as an alt reference frame, it is
unlikely that any mb in current frame will be used as reference for
future frames, so we can enable quantization optimization even when
the RD constant is slightly rate-biased. The change has an overall
benefit between 0.1% to 0.2% bit savings on the test sets based on
vpxssim scores.

In order to know if all 4/8 neighbor points are within the bounds,
4 bounds checking are enough instead of checking 4 bounds for

This patch moves the scattered updates to the mb skip state
(mode_info_context->mbmi.mb_skip_coeff) to vp8_tokenize_mb. Recent
changes to the quantizer exposed a bug where if a macroblock
could be coded as a skip but isn't, the encoder would run the
loopfilter but the decoder wouldn't, causing a reference buffer
mismatch.
The loopfilter is controlled by a flag called dc_diff. The decoder
looks at the number of decoded coefficients when setting this flag.
The encoder sets this flag based on the skip state, since any
skippable macroblock should be transmitted as a skip. The coefficient
optimization pass (vp8_optimize_b()) could change the coefficients
such that a block that was not a skip becomes one. The encoder was
not updating the skip state in this situation for intra coded blocks.
The underlying issue predates it, but this bug was recently triggered
by enabling trellis quantization on the Y2 block in commit dcd29e3,
and by changing the quantizer range control in commit 305be4e.

Loopfilter deltas are initialized to zero on keyframes in the decoder.
The values then persist from the previous frame unless an update bit
is set in the bitstream. This data is not included in the entropy
data saved by the 'refresh entropy' bit in the bitstream, so it is
effectively an additional contextual element beyond the 3 ref-frames
and the entropy data.
The encoder was treating this delta update bit as update-if-nonzero,
meaning that the value would be refreshed even if it hadn't changed,
and more significantly, if the correct value for the delta changed
to zero, the update wouldn't be sent, and the decoder would preserve
the last (presumably non-zero) value.
This patch updates the encoder to send an update only if the value
has changed from the previously transmitted value. It also forces the
value to be transmitted in error resilient mode, to account for lost
context in the event of lost frames.

Modified AltRef temporal filter to adapt filter length based
on macroblock coding modes selected during first-pass
encode.
Also added sub-pixel motion compensation to the AltRef
filter.
The existing code applied a 6-tap filter with 0's on either end.
We're already paying the branch penalty to avoid computing the two
extra columns needed as input to this filter.
We might as well save time computing the filter as well.
This reduces the inner loop from 21 instructions to 16, the number
of loads per iteration from 4 to 1, and the number of multiplies
from 7 to 4.
The gain in overall decoding performance, however, is small (less
than 1%).
This change also means we now valgrind clean on ARMv6, which is
its real purpose.
The errors reported here were valgrind's fault (it does not detect
that 0 times an uninitialized value is initialized), but Julian
Seward says it would slow down valgrind considerably to make such
checks.
Speeding up libvpx rather, even by a small amount, seems a much
better idea if only to enable proper valgrind checking of the
rest of the codec.
