c2140b8af1 Use WebM in copyright notice for consistency
Changes 'The VP8 project' to 'The WebM project', for consistency
with other webmproject.org repositories.

Fixes issue #97.

0de458f6b9 Reduced the size of MB_MODE_INFO
Moved partition_bmi and partition_count out of MB_MODE_INFO and
placed into MACROBLOCK.  Also reduced the size of other members
of the MB_MODE_INFO struct.  For 1080p, the memory was reduced
by 1,209,516 bytes.  The decoder performance appeared to improve
by 3% for the clip used.
Note:  The main goal for this change is to improve the decoder
performance.  The encoder will be revisited at a later date for
further structure cleanup.

e85e631504 Changed above and left context data layout
The main reason for the change was to reduce cycles in the token
decoder. (~1.5% gain for 32 bit)  This layout should be more
cache friendly.

As a result of this change, the encoder had to be updated.

9c7a0090e0 Removed unnecessary MB_MODE_INFO copies
These copies occurred for each macroblock in the encoder and decoder.
Thetemp MB_MODE_INFO mbmi was removed from MACROBLOCKD.  As a result,
a large number compile errors had to be fixed.

392a958274 avoid negative array subscript warnings
The mv_ref and sub_mv_ref token encodings are indexed from NEARESTMV
and LEFT4X4, respectively, rather than being zero-based like the
other token encodings.

8fa38096a3 Add trellis quantization.
Replace the exponential search for optimal rounding during
 quantization with a linear Viterbi trellis and enable it
 by default when using --best.
Right now this operates on top of the output of the adaptive
 zero-bin quantizer in vp8_regular_quantize_b() and gives a small
 gain.
It can be tested as a replacement for that quantizer by
 enabling the call to vp8_strict_quantize_b(), which uses
 normal rounding and no zero bin offset.
Ultimately, the quantizer will have to become a function of lambda
 in order to take advantage of activity masking, since there is
 limited ability to change the quantization factor itself.
However, currently vp8_strict_quantize_b() plus the trellis
 quantizer (which is lambda-dependent) loses to
 vp8_regular_quantize_b() alone (which is not) on my test clip.

Patch Set 3:

Fix an issue related to the cost evaluation of successor
states when a coefficient is reduced to zero. With this
issue fixed, now the trellis search almost exactly matches
the exponential search.

Patch Set 2:

Overall, the goal of this patch set is to make "trellis"
search to produce encodings that match the exponential
search version. There are three main differences between
Patch Set 2 and 1:
a. Patch set 1 did not properly account for the scale of
2nd order error, so patch set 2 disable it all together
for 2nd blocks.
b. Patch set 1 was not consistent on when to enable the
the quantization optimization. Patch set 2 restore the
condition to be consistent.
c. Patch set 1 checks quantized level L-1, and L for any
input coefficient was quantized to L. Patch set 2 limits
the candidate coefficient to those that were rounded up
to L. It is worth noting here that a strategy to check
L and L+1 for coefficients that were truncated down to L
might work.

(a and b get trellis quant to basically match the exponential
search on all mid/low rate encodings on cif set, without
a, b, trellis quant can hurt the psnr by 0.2 to .3db at
200kbps for some cif clips)
(c gets trellis quant  to match the exponential search
to match at Q0 encoding, without c, trellis quant can be
1.5 to 2db lower for encodings with fixed Q at 0 on most
derf cif clips)

0ce3901282 Swap alt/gold/new/last frame buffer ptrs instead of copying.
At the end of the decode, frame buffers were being copied.
The frames are not updated after the copy, they are just
for reference on later frames.  This change allows multiple
references to the same frame buffer instead of copying it.

Changes needed to be made to the encoder to handle this.  The
encoder is still doing frame buffer copies in similar places
where pointer reference could be done.

1ca39bf26d Further adjustment of RD behaviour with Q and Zbin.
Following conversations with Tim T (Derf) I ran a large number of
tests comparing the existing polynomial expression with a simpler
^2 variant. Though the polynomial was sometimes a little better at
the extremes of Q it was possible to get close for most clips and
even a little better on some.

This code also changes the way the RD multiplier is calculated
when the ZBIN is extended to use a variant of the same ^2
expression.

I hope that this simpler expression will be easier to tune further
as we expand our test set and consider adjustments based on content.

d0dd01b8ce Redo the forward 4x4 dct
The new fdct lowers the round trip sum squared error for a
4x4 block ~0.12. or ~0.008/pixel. For reference, the old
matrix multiply version has average round trip error 1.46
for a 4x4 block.

Thanks to "derf" for his suggestions and references.

94c52e4da8 cosmetics: trim trailing whitespace
When the license headers were updated, they accidentally contained
trailing whitespace, so unfortunately we have to touch all the files
again.
