Adds a new experiment CONFIG_NON420 that allows other chroma subsamplings

a y4m input file through vpxenc to the codec, where they're currently
rejected. Later commits will finish support for this inside the codec.

c2876cf0fd Initial addition of multiple ARF frames
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.

23144d2345 Implicit weighted prediction experiment
Adds an experiment to use a weighted prediction of two INTER
predictors, where the weight is one of (1/4, 3/4), (3/8, 5/8),
(1/2, 1/2), (5/8, 3/8) or (3/4, 1/4), and is chosen implicitly
based on consistency of the predictors to the already
reconstructed pixels to the top and left of the current macroblock
or superblock.

Currently the weighting is not applied to SPLITMV modes, which
default to the usual (1/2, 1/2) weighting. However the code is in
place controlled by a macro. The same weighting is used for Y and
UV components, where the weight is derived from analyzing the Y
component only.

Results (over compound inter-intra experiment)
derf: +0.18%
yt: +0.34%
hd: +0.49%
stdhd: +0.23%

The experiment suggests bigger benefit for explicitly signaled weights.

441e2eab1b Add an in-loop deringing experiment
Adds a per-frame, strength adjustable, in loop deringing filter. Uses
the existing vp9_post_proc_down_and_across 5 tap thresholded blur
code, with a brute force search for the threshold.

Results almost strictly positive on the YT HD set, either having no
effect or helping PSNR in the range of 1-3% (overall average 0.8%).
Results more mixed for the CIF set, (-0.5 min, 1.4 max, 0.1 avg).
This has an almost strictly negative impact to SSIM, so examining a
different filter or a more balanced search heuristic is in order.

Other test set results pending.

fd18d5dffe Modeling default coef probs with distribution
Replaces the default tables for single coefficient magnitudes with
those obtained from an appropriate distribution. The EOB node
is left unchanged. The model is represeted as a 256-size codebook
where the index corresponds to the probability of the Zero or the
One node. Two variations are implemented corresponding to whether
the Zero node or the One-node is used as the peg. The main advantage
is that the default prob tables will become considerably smaller and
manageable. Besides there is substantially less risk of over-fitting
for a training set.

Various distributions are tried and the one that gives the best
results is the family of Generalized Gaussian distributions with
shape parameter 0.75. The results are within about 0.2% of fully
trained tables for the Zero peg variant, and within 0.1% of the
One peg variant.

The forward updates are optionally (controlled by a macro)
model-based, i.e. restricted to only convey probabilities from the
codebook. Backward updates can also be optionally (controlled by
another macro) model-based, but is turned off by default. Currently
model-based forward updates work about the same as unconstrained
updates, but there is a drop in performance with backward-updates
being model based.

The model based approach also allows the probabilities for the key
frames to be adjusted from the defaults based on the base_qindex of
the frame. Currently the adjustment function is a placeholder that
adjusts the prob of EOB and Zero node from the nominal one at higher
quality (lower qindex) or lower quality (higher qindex) ends of the
range. The rest of the probabilities are then derived based on the
model from the adjusted prob of zero.

eb6ef2417f Coding con-zero count rather than EOB for coeffs
This patch revamps the entropy coding of coefficients to code first
a non-zero count per coded block and correspondingly remove the EOB
token from the token set.

Forward and backward probability updates to the nzcs - done.
Rd costing updates for nzcs - done.
Note: The dynamic progrmaming apporach used in trellis quantization
is not exactly compatible with nzcs. A suboptimal approach has been
used instead where branch costs are updated to account for changes
in the nzcs.

cd907b1601 16x16 butterfly inverse ADST/DCT hybrid transform
rebased.

This patch includes 16x16 butterfly inverse ADST/DCT hybrid
transform. It uses the variant ADST of kernel
    sin((2k+1)*(2n+1)/4N),
which allows a butterfly implementation.

The coding gains as compared to DCT 16x16 are about 0.1% for
both derf and std-hd. It is noteworthy that for std-hd sets
many sequences gains about 0.5%, some 0.2%. There are also few
points that provides -1% to -3% performance. Hence the average
goes to about 0.1%.

d15e1da494 Butterfly ADST based hybrid transform
Refactor the 8x8 inverse hybrid transform. It is now consistent
with the new inverse DCT. Overall performance loss (due to the
use of this variant ADST, and the rounding errors in the butterfly
implementation) for std-hd is -0.02.

Fixed BUILD warning.

Devise a variant of the original ADST, which allows butterfly
computation structure. This new transform has kernel of the
form: sin((2k+1)*(2n+1) / (4N)). One of its butterfly structures
using floating-point multiplications was reported in Z. Wang,
"Fast algorithms for the discrete W transform and for the discrete
Fourier transform", IEEE Trans. on ASSP, 1984.

This patch includes the butterfly implementation of the inverse
ADST/DCT hybrid transform of dimension 8x8.

7d6b5425d7 New prediction filter
This patch removes the old pred-filter experiment and replaces it
with one that is implemented using the switchable filter framework.

If the pred-filter experiment is enabled, three interopolation
filters are tested during mode selection; the standard 8-tap
interpolation filter, a sharp 8-tap filter and a (new) 8-tap
smoothing filter.

The 6-tap filter code has been preserved for now and if the
enable-6tap experiment is enabled (in addition to the pred-filter
experiment) the original 6-tap filter replaces the new 8-tap smooth
filter in the switchable mode.

The new experiment applies the prediction filter in cases of a
fractional-pel motion vector. Future patches will apply the filter
where the mv is pel-aligned and also to intra predicted blocks.
