This commit replaces the 16x16 2D-DCT transform with Hadamard
transform for RTC coding mode. It reduces the CPU cycles cost
on 16x16 transform by 5X. Overall it makes the speed -6 encoding
speed 1.5% faster without compromise on compression performance.

This commit uses Hadamard transform based rate-distortion cost
estimate for rtc coding mode decision. It improves the compression
performance of speed -6 for many hard clips at lower bit-rates.
For example, 5.5% for jimredvga, 6.7% for mmmoving, 6.1% for
niklas720p. This will introduce extra encoding cycle costs at
this point.

Move the scaling factor outside column projection. This avoids
repeated calculation of the same scaling factor. Profiling shows
that the percentage of vp9_int_pro_col_sse2 of overall cycles
goes from 2.29% down to 1.88%.

This commit enables the rtc coding mode to run integral projection
based motion search for golden reference frame. It improves the
speed -6 compression performance by 1.1% on average, 3.46% for
jimred_vga, 6.46% for tacomascmvvga, and 0.5% for vidyo clips. The
speed -6 is about 6% slower.

This commit replaces the SAD with variance as metric for the
integral projection vector match. It improves the search accuracy
in the presence of slight light change. The average speed -6
compression performance for rtc set is improved by 1.7%. No speed
changes are observed for the test clips.

In ssse3 functions, DEFINE_ARGS macro hard codes qcoeff and dqcoeff
to r3 and r4. If skip is 1, qcoeff and dqcoeff need to be loaded
from the stack, which doesn't work because of the above definitions.
Currently, skip=1 case is not used in the encoder. This patch fixed
the issue, so it can be turned on later.

This commit introduces a new block match motion estimation
using integral projection measurement. The 2-D block and the nearby
region is projected onto the horizontal and vertical 1-D vectors,
respectively. It then runs vector match, instead of block match,
over the two separate 1-D vectors to locate the motion compensated
reference block.
This process is run per 64x64 block to align the reference before
choosing partitioning in speed 6. The overall CPU cycle cost due
to this additional 64x64 block match (SSE2 version) takes around 2%
at low bit-rate rtc speed 6. When strong motion activities exist in
the video sequence, it substantially improves the partition
selection accuracy, thereby achieving better compression performance
and lower CPU cycles.

The high bit depth build failed while building for 32bit target.
The bugs were in vp9_highbd_subpel_variance.asm and
vp9_highbd_sad4d_sse2.asm functions. This patch fixed the bugs,
and made 32bit build work.

This patch was to fix issue 924:
https://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=924
The SECTION_RODATA macro was modified to support macho32 format.
The sub-pixel functions were modified to pass in 2 more parameters
to handle the global offsets for PIC build.

For key frame at speed 6: enable the non-rd mode selection in speed setting
and use the (non-rd) variance_based partition.
Adjust some logic/thresholds in variance partition selection for key frame only (no change to delta frames),
mainly to bias to selecting smaller prediction blocks, and also set max tx size of 16x16.
Loss in key frame quality (~0.6-0.7dB) compared to rd coding,
but speeds up key frame encoding by at least 6x.
Average PNSR/SSIM metrics over RTC clips go down by ~1-2% for speed 6.

was introduced by a rebase issue between nextgen and master branches.

This commit reworks the forward transform and quantization process
for 8x8 block coding. It combines the two operations in a single
function to save a store/load stage of the original transform
coefficients. Overall the speed -6 is slightly faster (around 1%
range). The compression performance of speed -6 is improved by
3.4%.

implementation is modified based on vp9_quantize_b_sse2. No speed
difference from ssse3 version.

The concept:
There's too much noise in source pixels for variance and at low bitrate
the reconstructed looks nothing like the source so we have problems
getting good partitionings with either. This skirts the issue by using
a box blur scaled down version for variance calculations. To compare
against source_var_ moved keyframe to be rd based like source_var.

This SSE2 is based on VP8 denoiser's SSE2 code. In VP8, there are
only 16x16 blocks in denoiser, while in VP9, there are 13 different
block sizes.
By adding this SSE2 code, the improvement of encoder speed is around
20%(using C code vs using SSE2 code), vary for different clips.
The unit test for VP9 denoiser is to confirm that the SSE2 code is
bit-exact with the C code. The unit test covers all block size.
