When active map is specified and the current frame is not a key frame,
golden frame nor a altref frame then copy only those active regions.
This significantly reduces encoding time by as much as 19% on the test
system where realtime encoding is used. This is particularly useful
when the frame size is large (e.g. 2560x1600) and there's only a few
action macroblocks.

Corrected the merge direction this time, so that running
`git describe` on the master branch finds v0.9.7 as the most recent
tag.

This patch fixes a bug in the interaction between the recode loop and
spatial resampling. If the codec was in a spatial resampling state,
and a subsequent iteration of the recode loop disables resampling,
then the source buffer must be reset to the unscaled source.

Changed motion search in vp8_find_best_half_pixel_step() to be the
same as in vp8_find_best_sub_pixel_step(), which checks 5 points
instead of 8 points. This only affects real-time mode with
cpu-used >=9. Tests showed it gives 2% encoding speedup with
a quality loss(psnr) of up to 0.5%.

The static libs should not be built from sources during the top level
of a universal build. This regression was introduced in commit
495b241fa6, which made the static
libs selectable under CONFIG_STATIC.

the neon code made several assumptions which were broken by a recent
change: https://review.webmproject.org/2676
update the code with new assumptions and guard them with a compile time
assert

Since this is the only ABI incompatible change since the last release,
convert it to use the control interface instead. The member of the
configuration struct is replaced with the VP8E_SET_MAX_INTRA_BITRATE_PCT
control.
More significant API changes were expected to be forthcoming when this
control was first introduced, and while they continue to be expected,
it's not worth breaking compatibility for only this change.

This change implemented same idea in change "Preload reference area
to an intermediate buffer in sub-pixel motion search." The changes
were made to vp8_find_best_sub_pixel_step() and vp8_find_best_half
_pixel_step() functions which are called when speed >= 5. Test
result (using tulip clip):
1. On Core2 Quad machine(Linux)
rt mode, speed (-5 ~ -8), encoding speed gain: 2% ~ 3%
rt mode, speed (-9 ~ -11), encoding speed gain: 1% ~ 2%
rt mode, speed (-12 ~ -14), no noticeable encoding speed gain
2. On Xeon machine(Linux)
Test on speed (-5 ~ -14) didn't show noticeable speed change.

There were some situations that the start motion vectors were
out of range. This fix adjusted range checks to make sure they
are checked and clamped.

sharpness was not recalculated in vp8cx_pick_filter_level_fast
remove last_filter_type. all values are calculated, don't need to update
the lfi data when it changes.
always use cm->sharpness_level. the extra indirection was annoying.
don't track last frame_type or sharpness_level manually. frame type
only matters for motion search and sharpness_level is taken care of in
frame_init
move function declarations to their proper header

In sub-pixel motion search, the search range is small(+/- 3 pixels).
Preload whole search area from reference buffer into a 32-byte
aligned buffer. Then in search, load reference data from this buffer
instead. This keeps data in cache, and reduces the crossing cache-
line penalty. For tulip clip, tests on Intel Core2 Quad machine(linux)
showed encoder speed improvement:
3.4% at --rt --cpu-used =-4
2.8% at --rt --cpu-used =-3
2.3% at --rt --cpu-used =-2
2.2% at --rt --cpu-used =-1
Test on Atom notebook showed only 1.1% speed improvement(speed=-4).
Test on Xeon machine also showed less improvement, since unaligned
data access latency is greatly reduced in newer cores.
Next, I will apply similar idea to other 2 sub-pixel search functions
for encoding speed > 4.
Make this change exclusively for x86 platforms.
