This commit changed the encoding and decoding of intra blocks to be
based on transform block. In each prediction block, the intra coding
iterates thorough each transform block based on raster scan order.
This commit also fixed a bug in D135 prediction code.

The RD mode/txfm_size selection should take this into account when
computing RD values.

This commit allows the rate-distortion optimization of intra coding

Uses more aggrerssive interpolation to reduce storage for the
model tables by almost more than half. Only 48 lists of probs are
stored (as opposed to 128 before), corresponding to ONE_NODE
probabilities of:
1,
3, 7, 11, ..., 115, 119,
127, 135, ..., 247, 255.
Besides, only 1 table is used as opposed to 2 before. So the overall
memory needed for the tables is just 48 * 8 = 384 bytes.
The table currently used is based on a new Pareto distribution with
heavier tail than a generalized Gaussian - which improves results on
derf by about 0.1% over a single table Generaized Gaussian.
Results overall on derfraw300 is -0.14%.
Change-Id: I19bd03559cbf5894a9f8594b8023dcc3e546f6bd
Cleans up the experiment. Actually uses reduced counts for backward

The recursive partition type search is enabled down to 4x4, 4x8 and
8x4, followed by the corresponding rate-distortion optimization for
the per-partition encoding mode decisions.
The bit-stream writing/reading synchronized in supporting the
rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
This provides above 1% coding performance gains on derf.
To do next:
1. re-design the rate-distortion loop for inter prediction below 8x8.
2. re-design the rate-distortion loop for intra prediction below 4x4.
3. make the loop-filter aware of rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
4. clean the unused probability models.
5. update default probability values.

Replace vp9_kf_default_bmode_counts structure with
direct default probabilities. The probability structure is
smaller and it removes the need to specify in the bitstream
how to convert the counts to probabilities.
Note that I have concerns still about the size and value of
the large intra mode context. This may cause problems for
HW but it also means we rely heavily on reverse update as
forwards update of a structure this size is problematic. I
intend to review this more generally in the next few days to
see if we can come up with a competitive solution that does
not rely on such a large context.

This is a mostly-working implementation of an extra channel in the
bitstream. Configure with --enable-alpha to test. Notable TODOs:
- Add extra channel to all mismatch tests, PSNR, SSIM, etc
- Configurable subsampling
- Variable number of planes (currently always uses all 4)
- Loop filtering
- Per-plane lossless quantizer
- ARNR support
This implementation just uses the same contents as the Y channel
for the A channel, due to lack of content and general pain in
playing back 4 channel content. A later patch will use the actual
alpha channel passed in from outside the codec.

This patch creates a new inter mode contest that avoids
a dependence on the reconstructed motion vectors from
neighboring blocks. This was a change requested by
a hardware vendor to improve decode performance.
As part of this change I have also made some modifications
to stats output code (under a flag) to allow accumulation of
inter mode context flags over multiple clips
Some further changes will be required to accommodate the
deprecation of the split mv mode over the next few days.
Performance as stands is around -0.25% on derf and
std-hd but up on the YT and YT-HD sets. With further tuning
or some adjustment to the context criteria it should be
possible to make this change broadly neutral.

In current code, motion vectors got from single prediction mode are used
in compound prediction mode directly. These motion vectors may not give
accurate prediction since they are searched independently. In this patch,
we took Pascal's suggestion, and did joint motion search in compound
prediction mode to find better motion vectors in this situation.
Test results:
Overall PSNR: 0.570%(derf), 0.918%(stdhd);
SSIM: 0.572%(derf), 1.009%(stdhd);
The encoder is a little slower. This can be improved since some c

The previous code was somewhat vestigial for 16x16 MI units, but was
incorrect when called with chroma blocks larger than 4x4 because the
block index caused a reference to a non-existent BMI. This patch uses

suboptimal for non-4:2:0 subsamplings, but as SPLITMV may be removed
in the near future, will use this as a stop gap.

The commmit changed to use same intra prediction function for all
block sizes.
Some details on the changes:
1. All directional modes except DC/TM/V/H now have built-in filtering
for all pixels with filter taps either (1, 2, 1)/4 or (1, 1)/2.
2. Above edge get automatic extended to double width (bw*2), which
makes a lot of the prediciton mode computation simpler.
3. Same intra prediction function is called with different size
for i4x4_pred and all other larger size.
Overall, the change helped keyframe only coding for both cif size
and std-hd size test sets by .5% consistently on all encodings.
For normal coding with single/auto key frame, the change now also
is consistently net positive for all encodings. The overall gains
is about .15% on std-hd set.

As we are no longer able to sort the candidate
mvrefs in both encoder and decode and given
that the cost of explicit signalling has proved
prohibitive, it no longer makes sense to find more
than 2 candidates.
This patch:
Modifies and simplifies add_candidate_mv()
Removes the forced addition of a 0 vector in the
MAX_MV_REF_CANDIDATES-1 position (in preparation
to reducing MAX_MV_REF_CANDIDATES to 2).
Re-orders the addition of candidates slightly.
This actually gives small gains (circa 0.2% on std-hd)
A subsequent patch will remove NEW_MVREF experiment,
reduce MAX_MV_REF_CANDIDATES to 2 and remove distance
weights as these are implicit now in the order.

Adjustments take heavier account of the frame near a kf
in deciding boost and limit the total number that can contribute.
Also adjusted the minq calculations such that in most cases we
generate a smaller key frame.
Modified the code that accounts for how static the sequence is and
added some adjustment based on image size. This is still very
crude but smaller images tend to behave better with a larger
delta between KF Q and other frames than larger image formats.
Changes give sizable gains in overall PSNR on all the test sets but the
biggest gains (~3%) were on the std-hd set.
The gains were smaller for SSIM but still significant.
Average PSNR results are mixed because this metric can very easily
be altered by having a very good / lossless coding of one or two frames.
Some of the YT and YT-HD clips in particular have blank lead ins and
allowing lossless coding of these appears to make a big difference to
average PSNR but it reality does not help much at all.

This commit converts the luma versions of vp9_build_inter_predictors_sb
to use a common function. Update the convolution functions to support
block sizes larger than 16x16, and add a foreach_predicted_block walker.
Next step will be to calculate the UV motion vector and implement SBUV,
then fold in vp9_build_inter16x16_predictors_mb and SPLITMV.
At the 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 levels implemented in this commit, each
plane is predicted with only a single call to vp9_build_inter_predictor.
This is not yet called for SPLITMV. If the notion of SPLITMV/I8X8/I4X4
goes away, then the prediction block walker can go away, since we'll
always predict the whole bsize in a single step. Implemented using a
block walker at this stage for SPLITMV, as a 4x4 "prediction block size"
within the BLOCK_SIZE_MB16X16 macroblock. It would also support other
rectangular sizes too, if the blocks smaller than 16x16 remain
implemented as a SPLITMV-like thing. Just using 4x4 for now.
There's also a potential to combine with the foreach_transformed_block
walker if the logic for calculating the size of the subsampled
transform is made more straightforward, perhaps as a consequence of
supporing smaller macroblocks than 16x16. Will watch what happens there.

Enable recursive partition information coding from SB64X64 down to
MB16X16. The bit-stream syntax is now supporting rectangular block
sizes. It starts from SB64X64 and recursively describes the partition
type of the current block. If the partition type is PARTITION_NONE,
the block is coded as a single unit; if it is PARTITION_HORZ or
PARTITION_VERT, the block is segmented into two independently coded
rectangular units, with no further partition needed; otherwise, the
block is segmented into 4 square blocks. i.e., PARTITION_SPLIT case,
each can be potentially further partitioned.
Forward adaptive probability modeling is used for the partition
information coding, conditioned on the current block size.

This is work-in-progress, it implements multiple ARF
encoding behind an experimental flag.
It adds the ability to insert multiple ARF frames into a
single ARF group. This patch implements the reordering
of the coded frames, and implements a fixed-length coding
pattern. It applies a fixed quantizer strategy based on
where the frame is in the coding sequence.
Further work to modify the rate control strategy is
ongoing and will be submitted via a set of future patches.
In this first step, each ARF group is recursively
bisected and an ARF frame added at that position in the
sequence. The recursion continues until ARF frames are
within MIN_GF_INTERVAL frames.
The code sits behind the "multiple-arf" experimental
flag ("CONFIG_MULTIPLE_ARF"). The experimental flag
"oneshotq" ("CONFIG_ONESHOTQ") also needs to be enabled
for this patch to work correctly.

Merge various super_block_yrd and super_block_uvrd versions into one

size-agnostic also. This fixes a slight bug in the intra UV superblock

the txsz selection for superblocks properly (instead of forgetting it).
Lastly, it removes the trellis search that was done for 16x16 intra

be done after RD mode selection.

Clamp only the motion vectors inferred from neighboring reference
macroblocks. The motion vectors obtained through motion search in
NEWMV mode are constrained during the search process, which allows
a relatively larger referencing region than the inferred mvs.
Hence further clamping the best mv provided by the motion search may
affect the efficacy of NEWMV mode.
Synchronized the decoding process. The decoded mvs in NEWMV modes
should be guaranteed to fit in the effective range. Put a mv range
clamping function there for security purpose.
