The vp8_build_intra_predictors_mby and vp8_build_intra_predictors_mby_s
functions had global function pointers rather than using the RTCD
framework. This can show up as a potential data race with tools such as
helgrind. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640935
for an example.

Clean up vp8_init_config() a bit and remove null pointer case,
as this code can't be called any more and is not an adequate
trap anyway, as a null pointer would cause exceptions before
hitting the test.

Issue 291 highlighted the fact that CQ mode was not working
as expected in 1 pass mode,
This commit fixes that specific problem but in so doing I also
uncovered an overflow issue in the VBR code for 1 pass and
some data values not being correctly initialized.
For some clips (particularly short clips), the resulting
improvement is dramatic.

In multithreaded mode the loopfilter is running in its own thread (filter level
calculation and frame filtering). Filtering is mostly done in parallel with the
bitstream packing. Before starting the packing the loopfilter level has
to be calculated. Also any needed reference frame copying is done in the
filter thread.
Currently the encoder will create n+1 threads, where n > 1 is the number of
threads specified by application and 1 is the extra filter thread. With n = 1
the encoder runs in single thread mode. There will never be more than n threads
running concurrently.

The firstpass motion map consists of an 8-bit flag for
each MB indicating how strongly the firstpass code
believes it should be filtered during the second pass
ARNR filtering.
For long or large format material the motion map can
become extremely large and hamper the operation of
the encoding process.
This change removes the motion map altogether, leaving
the second pass to rely on the magnitude of the motion
compensated error to determine the filter weight to
use for the MB during ARNR filtering.
Tests on the derf set indicate that the effect of this
change is neutral, with some small wins and losses. The
motion map has therefore been removed based on
a cost/benefit evaluation.

The previous calculation of macroblock count (w*h)/256
is not correct when the width/height are not multiples of
16. Use the precalculated macroblock count from
cpi->common instead. This manifested itself as a divide
by zero when the number of pixels was less than 256.
num_mbs updated in estimate_max_q, estimate_q,
estimate_kf_group_q, and estimate_cq

1. Process 16 pixels at one time instead of 8.
2. Add check for both xoffset =0 and yoffset=0, which happens
during motion search.
This change gave encoder 1%~3% performance gain.

GCC 4.5 and 4.6 both issue a warning about the multi-line format
string introduced in bc9c30a0, which also changed the whitespace
in the associated stt file by line-wrapping the long format string.
Instead, use multiple string constants, which the compiler will
concatenate. This maintains the original formatting, but remains
legible within the standard line length.

Disable zbin boost in SPLITMV mode as intended. Was incorrectly looking
at vp8_ref_frame_order instead of vp8_mode_order when comparing against
SPLITMV. This condition should have always been false, as SPLITMV is
not in the range of valid reference frames.

In some cases where clips have been encoded with
borders (eg. some wide-screen content where there is a
border top and bottom and slide shows containing portrait
format photographs (border left and right)) key frames were
not being correctly detected.
The new code looks to measure cases where a portion of
the image can be coded equally easily using intra or inter
modes and where the resulting error score is also very low.
These "neutral" areas are then discounted in the key frame
detection code.

This code extends what was previously done for GFs, to pick
cases where insertion of a key frame after a fade (or other
transition or complex motion) followed by a still section, will
be beneficial and will reduce the number of forced key frames.

When the modified_error_left accumulator exceeds INT_MAX, an incorrect
cast to int resulted in a negative value, causing the rate control to
allocate no bits to that keyframe group, leading to severe undershoot
and subsequent poor quality.
This error was exposed by the recent change to the rolling target and
actual spend accumulators in commit 305be4e4 which fixed them to
actually calculate the average value rather than be re-initialized
on every frame to the average per-frame bitrate. When this bug was
triggered, the target bitrate could be 0, so the rolling target
becomes small, which causes the undershoot. The code prior to 305be4e4
did not exhibit this behavior because the rolling target was always
set to a reasonable value and was independent of the actual target
bitrate. With this patch, the actual target bitrate is calculated
correctly, and the rate control tracks as expected.
This cast was likely added to silence a compiler warning on a comparison
between a double (modified_error_left) and an int (0). Instead, this
patch removes the cast and changes the comparison to be against 0.0,
which should prevent the warning from reoccuring.
This fixes issue #289. Special thanks to gnafu for his efforts in
reporting and debugging this fix.
