Also some further simplification following removal
of top node code.
There is an issue in regards to the shared file vp8cx.h
in regard to the roi_map as this interface assumes that
there are only 4 segments. I have left the value here as
4 for now meaning that the roi_map interface is broken
for VP9.
Note that this change would have been easier if I hadn't
had to search for hard wire instances of the number 4
and <= 3.

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.

Consider the previous behavior for the MV 1 3/8 (11/8 pel). In the
existing code, the fractional part of the MV is considered separately,
and rounded is applied, giving a result of 6/8. Rounding is not required
in this case, as we're increasing the precision from a q3 to a q4, and
the correct value 11/16 can be represented exactly.
Slight gain observed (+.033 average on derf)

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
common function that works for all sizes. Make transform size selection
size-agnostic also. This fixes a slight bug in the intra UV superblock
code where it used the wrong transform size for txsz > 8x8, and stores
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.
Gives basically identical results on derf (+0.009%).

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.
This improves the coding performance of high motion sequences, e.g.,
