1. Algorithm modification:
Instead of having same filter threshold for a whole frame, now we
allow the thresholds to be adjusted for each macroblock. In current
implementation, to avoid excessive blur on background as reported
in issue480(http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=480), we
reduce the thresholds for skipped macroblocks.
2. SSE2 optimization:
As started in issue479(http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=479),
the filter calculation was adjusted for better performance. The c
code was also modified accordingly. This made the deblock filter
2x faster, and the decoder was 1.2x faster overall.
Next, the demacroblock filter will be modified similarly.

In some situations, believed to be an interaction between temporal
scalability and dropped frames, the references available to an
encoder may not be the same references available to its parent.
Previously, the code tried to force the reference frame chosen by
the parent to be used on this frame, even if it was disabled. This
was preventing the pick mode loop from running even once, which led
to a crash.
Attempts to reproduce this bug locally were unsuccessful, so it is
still undetermined what the underlying cause of this issue is. In
the specific case that was failing, the application did not set
any flags which influenced the reference selection on that frame.
ref_frame_flags indicated that the golden frame was disabled,
believed to be because the last frame updated the last and golden
frames, so golden was shut off by default. It's not clear why this
wouldn't have also been true in the lower res encoder, ie, why the
lower res encoder decided to use and/or was allowed to use the
golden frame. We weren't able to debug into the non-crashing
lower res encoder as the crash couldn't be reproduced locally.

This commit fixes unsafe simd / floating point interactions arising
from the current hybrid and 16x16 transform implementation.
These led to a raft of bugs and issues when the project was
built using VS2008 for Win32 though they did not show up with
the unix builds.
Gerrit makes a meal out of presenting the fix but all I have actually
done is indent the body of each function that uses floating point by
one level and bracket with emms instructions using the function
vp8_clear_system_state(). See below.
function () {
vp8_clear_system_state();
{
... function body
}
vp8_clear_system_state();
}
This is almost certainly over the top in terms of number of emms
instructions but is a temporary measure pending implementation of
integer variants of each function to replace the floating point.
Limited testing suggests that this fixes the problems that arose for
Win32 VS2008 when the hybrid or 16x16 transforms were enabled.

This unit test compares the difference in quality with
error resilience enabled and disabled. The test runs
for all of the one-pass encoding modes.
The test ensures that the effect of turning on error
resilience makes less than a 10% difference in PSNR.
Further cases should be added to do a more comprehensive
test.

If a parent mb is available but is intra coded, then parent_ref_mv is
invalid. Check that the parent is inter coded before trying to access
the parent_ref_mv. Previously the parent_ref_mv was being read from
an uninitialized stack allocation, causing potential OOB reads and
other undefined behavior.

The stats buffer needs to be reset between runs of the
encoder. I added a Reset() function to TwopassStatsStore
and called it at the beginning of each encode.
This enables us to run multiple encodes which was
previously not possible since there was no way to reset
the stats between runs.

Protect the call to {Initialize,Delete}CriticalSection() with an

The codec as it stood placed a keyframe one frame after a
real cut scene - and ignored datarate and other considerations.
TODO: Its possible that we should detect a keyframe and recode
the frame ( in certain circumstances) to improve quality.

Separates the entropy coding context models for 4x4, 8x8 and 16x16
ADST variants.
There is a small improvement for HD (hd/std-hd) by about 0.1-0.2%.
Results on derf/yt are about the same, probably because there is not
enough statistics.
Results may improve somewhat once the initial probability tables are
updated for the hybrid transforms which is coming soon.

On an internal spatial resize, this mode index was not reset to 0,
and therefore could exceed dimensions of seg_map or cyclic_refresh_map.

With this change, even if hybridtransform8x8 experiment is off,
8x8 dct is used for the I8x8 mode. However note that the gains
observed with the hybridtransform8x8 experiment will now be less,
since part of the gain is now merged in.
