The transform block row and column positions are always available
outside the callees. There is no need to re-compute these values
again. This approach has been used by the decoder. This commit
removes txfrm_block_to_raster_xy() function.

This commit re-designs the quantization process for transform
coefficient blocks of size 4x4 to 16x16. It improves compression
performance for speed 7 by 3.85%. The SSSE3 version for the
new quantization process is included.
The average runtime of the 8x8 block quantization is reduced
from 285 cycles -> 255 cycles, i.e., over 10% faster.

This commit enables a fast path computational flow for forward
transformation. It checks the sse and variance of prediction
residuals and decides if the quantized coefficients are all
zero, dc only, or more. It then selects the corresponding coding
path in the forward transformation and quantization stage.
It is currently enabled in rtc coding mode. Will do it for rd
coding mode next.
In speed -6, the runtime for pedestrian_area 1080p at 1000 kbps
goes down from 14234 ms to 13704 ms, i.e., about 4% speed-up.
Overall coding performance for rtc set is changed by -0.18%.

Usage of encode_b_args is unnecessary because encode_block_pass1() doesn't
use them. That's why optimize_init_b() call is also not required.

Calculate the skip_coeff as part of the encode process, rather than
checking the eobs after the fact with another pass.

This commit separates the rate-distortion optimization loop of
superblocks from that of sub8x8 blocks. This allows better design
rate-distortion optimization search loop for each setting. It also
removes the use of SPLITMV and I4X4_PRED therein.
No performance change in speed 0 settings. For bus@CIF at 2000kbps,
the speed 1 runtime goes from 48009ms to 43894ms (about 10% faster).
The overall compression performance on derf changed by -0.021%.
Speed 2 runtime goes from 27114ms to 28700ms (6% slower), while the
overall coding efficiency goes up by 1.629% for derf, 1.236% for yt.

Updating all foreach_transformed_block_visitor functions to work with
plane block size instead of general block. Removing a lot of duplicated
code.

This change set is intermediate. The next one will remove all repetitive
plane_bsize calculations, because it will be passed as argument to
foreach_transformed_block_visitor.

This commit makes the initialization of trellis coeff optimization
a per-plane operation, thereby eliminating the redundant steps in
encode_sby and encode_sbuv. It makes the encoder at speed 0 slightly
faster.

Compute the rate-distortion cost per transformed block, and cumulate
the cost through all blocks inside a partition. This allows encoder
to detect if the cumulative rd cost is already above the best rd cost,
thereby enabling early termination in the rate-distortion optimization
search.

This allows removing a large number of transform size specific functions,
as well as supporting 444/alpha by routing all code through the
subsampling-aware path.

Creates a common encode (subtract, transform, quantize, optimize,
inverse transform, reconstruct) function for all sb sizes, including
the old 16x16 path.

Work-in-progress, not yet ready for review. TODO items:

- decoder reconstruction

First in a series of commits making certain MACROBLOCK members
addressable per-plane. This commit also refactors the block subtraction
functions vp9_subtract_b, vp9_subtract_sby_c, etc to be
loops-over-planes and variable subsampling aware.

Use in-place buffers (dst of MACROBLOCKD) for macroblock prediction.
This makes the macroblock buffer handling consistent with those of
superblock. Remove predictor buffer MACROBLOCKD.

More specifically, remove vp9_quantize_mb*, vp9_optimize_mb*,
vp9_inverse_transform_mb* and vp9_transform_mb*. Instead, use the
generic _sb* functions that take a size argument, and call them with
BLOCK_SIZE_MB16X16.

Merge sb32x32 and sb64x64 functions; allow for rectangular sizes. Code
gives identical encoder results before and after. There are a few
macros for rectangular block sizes under the sbsegment experiment; this
experiment is not yet functional and should not yet be used.

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.
STATUS:
Main encode/decode code achieving encode/decode sync - done.
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.
TODO:
Training the default probs/counts for nzcs

Split macroblock and superblock tokenization and detokenization
functions and coefficient-related data structs so that the bitstream
layout and related code of superblock coefficients looks less like it's
a hack to fit macroblocks in superblocks.
In addition, unify chroma transform size selection from luma transform
size (i.e. always use the same size, as long as it fits the predictor);
in practice, this means 32x32 and 64x64 superblocks using the 16x16 luma
transform will now use the 16x16 (instead of the 8x8) chroma transform,
and 64x64 superblocks using the 32x32 luma transform will now use the
32x32 (instead of the 16x16) chroma transform.
Lastly, add a trellis optimize function for 32x32 transform blocks.
HD gains about 0.3%, STDHD about 0.15% and derf about 0.1%. There's
a few negative points here and there that I might want to analyze
a little closer.

This patch allows coding frames using references of different
resolution, in ZEROMV mode. For compound prediction, either
reference may be scaled.
To test, I use the resize_test and enable WRITE_RECON_BUFFER
in vp9_onyxd_if.c. It's also useful to apply this patch to
test/i420_video_source.h:
--- a/test/i420_video_source.h
+++ b/test/i420_video_source.h
@@ -93,6 +93,7 @@ class I420VideoSource : public VideoSource {

// Read a frame from input_file.
+ if (frame_ != 3)
if (fread(img_->img_data, raw_sz_, 1, input_file_) == 0) {

This forces the frame that the resolution changes on to be coded
with no motion, only scaling, and improves the quality of the
result.
