Adds an error-resilient mode where frames can be continued
to be decoded even when there are errors (due to network losses)
on a prior frame. Specifically, backward updates are turned off
and probabilities of various symbols are reset to defaults at
the beginning of each frame. Further, the last frame's mvs are
not used for the mv reference list, and the sorting of the
initial list based on search on previous frames is turned off
as well.
Also adds a test where an arbitrary set of frames are skipped
from decoding to simulate errors. The test verifies (1) that if
the error frames are droppable - i.e. frame buffer updates have
been turned off - there are no mismatch errors for the remaining
frames after the error frames; and (2) if the error-frames are non
droppable, there are not only no decoding errors but the mismatch
PSNR between the decoder's version of the post-error frames and the
encoder's version is at least 20 dB.

This commit restores the quality lost when the buffer-to-buffer copy
logic was removed. Note that this is specific to the current use of
golden frames and will need rework when RTC functionality is added.

Previously there were two frame coding contexts tracked, one for normal
frames and one for alt-ref frames. Generalize this by signalling the
context to use in the bitstream, rather than tieing it to the alt ref
refresh bit. Also increase the number of contexts available to 4, which
may be useful for temporal scalability.

Remove lst_fb_idx, gld_fb_idx, alt_fb_idx, refresh_last_frame,
refresh_golden_frame, refresh_alt_ref_frame from common. Gold/Alt are
encode side conventions. From the decoder's perspective, we want to be
dealing with numbered references.
Updates to active_ref 2 signal mode context switches, vestigial from
refresh_alt_ref_frame. This needs some clean up to make sense with
increased numbers of reference frames, as well as reimplementing the
swapping of alt/golden which was previously done using the
buffer-to-buffer copy mechanism removed in an earlier commit.

This is the first in a series of commits to add additional reference
frames to the codec. Each frame will be able to update any of the
available references, but copying between references is not
supported.

This experiment gives little gains and adds relatively much code
complexity (and it hinders other experiments), so let's get rid of
it.

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.

This patch changes the token packing to call the bool encoder API rather
than inlining it into the token packing function, and similarly removes
a special get_signed case from the detokenizer. This allows easier
experimentation with changing the bool coder as a whole.

Add a function clip_pixel() to clip a pixel value to the [0,255] range
of allowed values, and use this where-ever appropriate (e.g. prediction,
reconstruction). Likewise, consistently use the recently added function
clip_prob(), which calculates a binary probability in the [1,255] range.
If possible, try to use get_prob() or its sister get_binary_prob() to
calculate binary probabilities, for consistency.
Since in some places, this means that binary probability calculations
are changed (we use {255,256}*count0/(total) in a range of places,
and all of these are now changed to use 256*count0+(total>>1)/total),
this changes the encoding result, so this patch warrants some extensive
testing.

Some further changes and refactoring of mv
reference code and selection of center point for

Use these, instead of the 4/5-dimensional arrays, to hold statistics,
counts, accumulations and probabilities for coefficient tokens. This

This adds Debargha's DCT/DWT hybrid and a regular 32x32 DCT, and adds
code all over the place to wrap that in the bitstream/encoder/decoder/RD.
Some implementation notes (these probably need careful review):
- token range is extended by 1 bit, since the value range out of this
transform is [-16384,16383].
- the coefficients coming out of the FDCT are manually scaled back by
1 bit, or else they won't fit in int16_t (they are 17 bits). Because
of this, the RD error scoring does not right-shift the MSE score by
two (unlike for 4x4/8x8/16x16).
- to compensate for this loss in precision, the quantizer is halved
also. This is currently a little hacky.
- FDCT and IDCT is double-only right now. Needs a fixed-point impl.
- There are no default probabilities for the 32x32 transform yet; I'm
simply using the 16x16 luma ones. A future commit will add newly
generated probabilities for all transforms.
- No ADST version. I don't think we'll add one for this level; if an
ADST is desired, transform-size selection can scale back to 16x16
or lower, and use an ADST at that level.
Additional notes specific to Debargha's DWT/DCT hybrid:
- coefficient scale is different for the top/left 16x16 (DCT-over-DWT)
block than for the rest (DWT pixel differences) of the block. Therefore,
RD error scoring isn't easily scalable between coefficient and pixel
domain. Thus, unfortunately, we need to compute the RD distortion in
the pixel domain until we figure out how to scale these appropriately.

This patch allows use of 8x8 and 4x4 ADST correctly for Intra
16x16 modes and Intra 8x8 modes when the block size selected
is smaller than the prediction mode. Also includes some cleanups
and refactoring.

Not all segment feature data elements are full-range powers of two, so
there are values that can be encoded that are invalid. Add a new function
to clamp values to the maximum allowed.
