Change vp9_block_error() to return a 64bit error variable, change all

Encoding of bus @ 1500kbps (first 50 frames) goes from 3min57 to
3min35, i.e. approximately a 10.5% speedup. Note that the SIMD versions
which use a bilinear filter (x_offset & 7 || y_offset & 7) aren't
perfectly interleaved, and can probably be improved further in the
future. I've marked this with a few TODOs/FIXMEs in the code.

Optimized the quantization function by making it a two-pass
process. The first pass does a quick checking of the transform
coefficients against the base ZBIN, and only keep the good
enough set of coefficients for quantization. A skipping
check is added. If all coefficients are within the base ZBIN, no
quantization is needed. The second pass is the actual quantization
pass, which only processes the coefficient subset determined
in first pass. This reduces the computation. Furthermore, an
alternitive method is used for large transform size, which often
has sparse nonzero quantized coefficients.
Overall, the encoder speedup is about 4%. The quantization function
itself gets 20% faster.

This commit makes use of dual fdct32x32 versions for rate-distortion
optimization loop and encoding process, respectively. The one for
rd loop requires only 16 bits precision for intermediate steps.
The original fdct32x32 that allows higher intermediate precision (18
bits) was retained for the encoding process only.
This allows speed-up for fdct32x32 in the rd loop. No performance
loss observed.

Fixed point scaling factors are calculated once for each
reference frame by using integer division. Otherwise fixed point
scaling routines are used in all scaling calculations. This makes it
possible to calculate fixed point scaling factors on device driver
software and pass them to hardware and thus avoid division on hardware.
TODO:
- Missing check for maximum frame dimensions
(currently scaling uses 14 bits)
- Missing check for maximum scaling ratio
(upscaling 16:1, downscaling 2:1)

- Straightforward fixed point implementation can cause error +-1
compared to integer division (i.e. in x_step_q4). Should only
be an issue for frames larger than 16k.

In the longer term the encoder should allow compound as long
as one of the buffers has opposite sign bias and as per the decoder
this buffer is then set as the fixed reference. However at the moment
the encoder and RD loop only supports the case where the ALTREF_FRAME

This patch fixes a bug that would allow compound inter and set
fixed ref to ALTREF_FRAME when it is not the odd one out.

This patch changes the coefficient tree to move the EOB to below
the ZERO node in order to save number of bool decodes.
The advantages of moving EOB one step down as opposed to two steps down
in the other parallel patch are: 1. The coef modeling based on
the One-node becomes independent of the tree structure above it, and
2. Fewer conext/counter increases are needed.
The drawback is that the potential savings in bool decodes will be
less, but assuming that 0s are much more predominant than 1's the
potential savings is still likely to be substantial.
