Extended ROI struct suitable for VP9.
ROI input from user is passed into internal struct and applied on every frame
(except key frame).
Enabled usage of all 4 VP9 segment features (delta_qp, delta_lf, skip,
ref_frame) via the ROI map input.
Made changes to nonrd_pickmode for the ref_frame feature.
Only works for realtime speed >= 5.
AQ_MODE needs to be turned off for ROI to take effect.
Change example in the sample encoder: vpx_temporal_svc_encoder.c to be suitable
for VP9.
Add datarate test.
Bump up ABI version.

scaled_temp frame is used as an intermediate buffer for
2 stage down-sampling: two stages of 1/2 down-sampling
for a target of 1/4x1/4. This is used in 3 layer SVC
to avoid duplicate frame downsampling (on middle layer).
As this allocation is only needed/used when the
number_spatial_layers > 2, add this condition to avoid
unneeded allocation for 1 and 2 spatial SVC.

For SVC: if an enhancement layer (spatial_layer > 0)
has 0 bandwidth, skip/drop the encoding of the layer.
This allows the application to dynamically disable
higher layers for SVC.
Add flag to signal the skip encoding, this is needed
to modify the packing of the superframe when the top
layer is skipped/dropped.
Also moved some updates (current_video_frame counter and
the last_avg_frame_bandwidth) to the postencode_update_drop_frame().
Added datarate unittest for dynamically going from 3 to 2
and then back to 3 spatial layers.

For a large change in the target avg_frame_bandwidth,
via the update in change_config()), reset the buffer_level
to optimal_level.
This fix prevents possible frame drops, where for example,
encoder suddenly goes from lower to higher bitrate.

For large dynamic changes in target avg_frame_bandwidth, or
a change in resolution, via the update in change_config()),
reset the under/overshoot flags (rc_1_frame, rc_2_frame)
to prevent constraining the QP for the first few frames
following the change.
For SVC use the spatial stream avg_frame_bandwidth in
reset condition.
For the avg_frame_bandwidth condition, use fairly large
threshold (~50%) for now in reset.
This allows for better/faster QP response if, for example,
application dynamically changes bitrate by large amount.

Fix/cleaup the conditioning for usage of the reuse-lowres
partition feature.
Replace the non-reference condition with the top temporal
layer, and put this condition in the speed feature.
This prevents doing update_partition_svc() on every
VGA frame, instead it will now only do update for VGA in
the top temporal layer frames.
Also this makes it easier to test/enable this feature
for lower layer temporal frames.

For SVC with 3 spatial layers:
Add feature to copy/upscale partition from middle spatial layer
to the upper/highest resolution, when superblock sad is not high.
Enabled for speed >= 7 and only for non-reference frames.
Speedup ~3-4%, small loss in avgPNSR/SSIM of ~1%.

Added command line control of Corpus VBR.
The new corpus vbr mode is a variant of standard
VBR (end-usage=0) where the complexity distribution
mid point is passed in rather than calculated for a specific
clip or chunk.
The new variant is enabled by setting a new command line
parameter --corpus-complexity to a zero value. Omitting
this parameter or setting it to 0 will cause the codec to use
standard vbr mode.
The correct value for a given corpus needs to be derived
experimentally using a training set such that the average
rate for the corpus is close to the target value.
For example our using our low res test set with upper and lower
vbr limits of 50%-150% and a corpus complexity value of 650
gives a similar average data rate across the set to using standard
vbr. However, with the corpus mode easier clips will be allocated
fewer bits and harder clips more bits rather than having the same
rate target for all.

For speed 6 real-time mode: use adapt_partition
on ARF frame instead of REFERENCE_PARTITION (which is slower).
This requires enabling compute_source_sad_onepass for no-show_frames.
Speedup of ~3-5% on some clips that heavily use ARF,
small loss (~0.2%) in quality on ytlive set.
Change-Id: Ib50acc97df06458244a6ac55d2bd882c30012536
Only has effect when sf->use_altref_onepass is enabled,
as in that case scene detection is skipped for non-show frame
and so high_source_sad does not get reset to 0.
No change in metrics or speed.

Add stats for past ARF usage, and use it to disable

Overall improvement on ytlive set, reduces the regression

Only affects when sf->use_altref_onepass is enabled
(currently off by default).

Scene detection is used for VBR mode and for screen_content mode.
It was also enabled for CBR mode via the speed condition,
but currently the analysis in the scene detection is not used
in CRB mode (similar computations are done locally at superblock level
when the source_sad feature is enabled).
For 1 pass code.
No change in behavior. Small speed gain, ~0.5%.

In the new AUTO mode, restrict the minimum alt-ref interval and max column
tiles adaptively based on picture size, while not applying any rate control
constraints.
This mode aims to produce encodings that fit into levels corresponding to
the source picture size, with minimum compression quality lost. However, the
bitstream is not guaranteed to be level compatible, e.g., the average bitrate
may exceed level limit.

Some clips in nightly unit test exhibiting significant encoder slowdown which
appears to bisect to Change-Id: I692311a709ccdb6003e705103de9d05b59bf840a.
The above change allowed for emergency iterations of the recode loop and
adjustment of the Q range if there is a large rate miss.
This patch disables the above adaptation for cases of cpu_speed >= 3 or more
specifically where cpi->sf.recode_loop >= ALLOW_RECODE_KFARFGF.
For speeds >= 3 the code does not currently run a dummy bit pack operation
inside the recode loop. Without this dummy pack operation there is no up to
date estimate of the current frame's size to use as a basis for assessing the
requirement for a recode. In practice it was using the previous frames size (or 0
for the first frame) which could cause odd behavior.
If we require the emergency rate correction added in Change-Id: I6923.. for
the higher speed settings it will be necessary to enable the dummy pack
which will in turn hurt encode speed.

Originally, for the purpose of keeping a fast first pass, the first-pass
stats between row_mt_mode = 0 and row_mt_mode = 1 are not bit exact, but
that difference is very small that doesn't cause a mismatch between the
final bitstreams. However, if the encoder changes, this minor difference
may cause a mismatch. Thus, this patch always forces the first pass to
be bit exact.

For fixed pattern SVC: keep track of denoised last_frame buffer
for base temporal layer, and if alt_ref is updated on middle/upper
temporal layers, force an update to denoised last_frame buffer.
This allows for improved denoising on top temporal layers.
