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.

Remove unused files and functions in vpx_scale to avoid wasting time
renaming. vpx_scale/win32/scaleopt.c contains functions which have not
been called in a long time but are potentially optimized.
The 'vp8' functions have not been renamed yet. That is for after the
cleanup.

This patch reduces the cpu cost of the MV ref
search by only allowing insert for candidates
that would be in the current top 4.
This could alter the outcome and slightly favors
near candidates which are tested first but also
limits the worst case loop count to 4 and means in
many cases it will drop out and not happen.

Adds support for compound inter-intra prediction with superblocks.
Also, fixes a bug that disabled intra modes for superblocks.

This patch allows use of 8x8 and 4x4 ADST correctly for Intra

This change included:
1. Aligned reads in vp9_mbloop_filter_vertical_edge function.
Since we actually read 16 bytes, we can align the reads to read
starting at (s - 8) instead of (s - 5).
2. Combined u, v loop filters.
3. Added 8x16 transpose.
This gave 2% decoder performance gain (tulip clip).

This commit removed a couple of redundant data structures in frame
coding contextsm, mode_context and mode_context_a, and changed to
use vp9_mode_contexts only. The switch of the context for different
frame type now relies on the switch of frame coding context between
lfc and lfc_a. This commit also removed a number of memcpy among
these redundant data structure.

Vp9_sad3x16_sse2() is heavily called in decoder, in which the
unaligned reads consume lots of cpu cycles. When CONFIG_SUBPELREFMV
is off, the unaligned offset is 1. In this situation,
we can adjust the src_ptr to be 4-byte aligned, and then do the
aligned reads. This reduced the reading time significantly. Tests
on 1080p clip showed over 2% decoder performance gain with
CONFIG_SUBPELREFM off.

Experiments with a larger set of contexts and some
clean up to replace magic numbers regarding the
number of contexts.
The starting values and rate of backwards adaption
are still suspect and based on a small set of tests.
Added forwards adjustment of probabilities.
The net result of adding the new context and forward
update is small compared to the old context from the
legacy find_near function. (down a little on derf but
up by a similar amount for HD)
HOWEVER.... with the new context and forward update
the impact of disabling the reverse update (which may be
necessary in some use cases to facilitate parallel decoding)
is hugely reduced.
For the old context without forward update, the impact of
turning off reverse update (Experiment was with SB off) was
Derf - 0.9, Yt -1.89, ythd -2.75 and sthd -8.35. The impact was
mainly at low data rates.
With the new context and forward update enabled the impact
for all the test sets was no more than 0.5-1% (again most at
the low end).

added additional motion vectors at close neighborhood of a superblock
to the list of candiate motion vectors, and removed a couple that are
further away.
The change helped std-hd set about .8% (all metrics) and smaller gain
for derf set.

A patch on compound inter-intra prediction.
In compound inter-intra prediction, a new predictor for
16x16 inter coded MBs are obtained by combining a single
inter predictor with a 16x16 intra predictor, in a manner
that the weight varies with distance from the top/left
boundary. The current search strategy is to combine the best
inter mode with the best intra mode obtained independently.
Results so far:
derf +0.31%
yt +0.32%
std-hd +0.35%
hd +0.42%
It is conceivable that the results would improve somewhat
with a more thorough search strategy where all intra modes
are searched given the best mv, or even a joint search for
the best mv and the best intra mode.

Modify the decoder to return the ending position of the bool decoder and
use that as the starting position for the next frame.
The constant-space algorithm for parsing the appended frame lengths is
O(n^2), which is a potential DoS concern if n is unbounded. Revisit
the appended lengths for use as partition lengths when multipartition
support is added.
In addition, this allows decoding of raw streams outside of a container
without additional framing information, though it's insufficient to
be able to remux said stream into a container.

Update decode_coefs() to break when c >= eob, since it's possible that
c starts the loop from 1 and eob is 0. The loop won't terminate in that
case.
Add new get_eob() function to consistently clamp the eob based on the
segment level EOB and the block size. It's possible to code a segment
level EOB that's greater than the block size, and that leads to an
out of bounds access.

This is in line with other cases where we disable ADST if prediction
size and transform size don't match. Before this patch, the RD loop
will use ADST for superblocks, but frame encoding/decoding won't.

Similar to 16x16 dequant and idct, based on the value of eobs, the
8x8 dequant and idct calculation was simplified to improve decorder
performance.
Combined vp9_dequant_idct_add_8x8 and vp9_dequant_dc_idct_add_8x8
to eliminate duplicate code.

This change is a fix / extension of the newbestrefmv
experiment. As such it is presented without IFDEF.
The change creates a new context for coding inter modes
in vp9_find_mv_refs(). This replaces the context that
was previously calculated in vp9_find_near_mvs().
The new context is unoptimized and not necessarily
any better at this stage (results pending), but eliminates
the need for a legacy call to vp9_find_near_mvs().
Based on numbers from Scott, this could help decode
speed by several %.
In a later patch I will add support for forward update of
context (assuming this helps) and refine the context as
necessary.

Experiment to test speed trade off of reducing the
extent of the ref mv search.
Reducing the maximum number of tested candidates to 9 had
minimal net effect on quality in any of the tests sets.
Reduction to 7 has a small negative impact (worst was STD-HD
at about -0.2%).
This change is in response to the apparently high number of
decode cycles reported in regard to mv-ref selection.

Preliminary patch on a new 4x4 intra mode B_CONTEXT_PRED where the
dominant direction from the context is used to encode. Various decoder
changes are needed to support decoding of B_CONTEXT_PRED in conjunction
with hybrid transforms since the scan order and tokenization depends on
the actual direction of prediction obtained from the context. Currently
the traditional directional modes are used in conjunction with the
B_CONTEXT_PRED, which also seems to provide the best results.
The gains are small - in the 0.1% range.

As suggested by Yaowu, simplified 16x16 dequant and idct. In decoder,
after detoken step, we know the number of non-zero dct coefficients
(eobs) in a macroblock. Idct calculation can be skipped or simplified
based on eobs, which improves the decoder performance.

Creates a merge between the master and experimental branches. Fixes a
number of conflicts in the build system to allow *either* VP8 or VP9
to be built. Specifically either:
$ configure --disable-vp9 $ configure --disable-vp8
--disable-unit-tests
VP9 still exports its symbols and files as VP8, so that will be
resolved in the next commit.
Unit tests are broken in VP9, but this isn't a new issue. They are
fixed upstream on origin/experimental as of this writing, but rebasing
this merge proved difficult, so will tackle that in a second merge
commit.

In the variance calculations the difference is summed and later squared.
When the sum exceeds sqrt(2^31) the value is treated as a negative when
it is shifted which gives incorrect results.
To fix this we force the multiplication to be unsigned.
The alternative fix is to shift sum down by 4 before multiplying.
However that will reduce precision.
For 16x16 blocks the maximum sum is 65280 and sqrt(2^31) is 46340 (and
change).
This change is based on:
