Motion vector limits are calculated using right shifts, which
could give wrong results for negative numbers. James Berry's
test on one clip showed encoder produced some artifacts. This
change fixed that.

There were many instances in the code of vp8_coef_tokens and
vp8_coef_tokens-1, which was a preprocessor macro despite the naming
convention. Replace these with MAX_ENTROPY_TOKENS and ENTROPY_NODES,
respectively.

I got this idea from Pascal (Thanks). Before encoding a macroblock,
copy it to a 16x16 buffer, and then read source data from there
instead. This will help keep the source data in cache, and help
with the performance.

experimental branch build was broken from some merge artifacts, this
commit fixes those issues to enable the experimental branch to build.

RDMULT/RDDIV defines a bit worth of distortion in term of sum squared
difference. This has also been used as errorperbit in subpixel motion
search, where the distortions computed as variance of the difference.
The variance of differences is different from sum squared differences
by amount of DC squared. Typically, for inter predicted MBs, this
difference averages around 10% between the two distortion, so this patch
introduces a 110% constant in deriving errorperbit from RDMULT/RDDIV.
Test on CIF set shows small but positive gain on overall PSNR (.03%)
and SSIM (.07%), overall impact on average PSNR is 0.

This change is analogous to I0b67dae1f8a74902378da7bdf565e39ab832dda7,
which made the move for the non-RD path.

While investigating the effect of DC values on SAD and SSE in motion
estimation, a side finding indicates the two table of constants need
be adjusted. The adjustment was done by multiplying old constants by
90% with rounding. Also absorb the 1/2 scaling constant into the two
tables. Refer to change Ifa285c3e for background of the 1/2 factor.
Cif set test showed a very small gain on all metric.

The encoder defined about 4 set of similar functions to calculate sum,
variance or sse or a combination of them. This commit removed one set
of these functions, get8x8var and get16x16var, where calls to the later
function are replaced with var16x16 by using the fact on a 16x16 MB:
variance == sse - sum*sum/256

Declared the bmi in BLOCKD as a union instead of B_MODE_INFO.
Then removed B_MODE_INFO completely.

this commit makes the usage errorperbit and sadperbit consistent for
encoding modes and passes. Removed all different magic weight factors
associated with errorperbit. Now 1/2 is used for both sadperbit16 and
sadperbit4, the /2 operation is merged into initializations of the 2
variables.
Tests on cif set show .23%, 0.18% and 0.19% gain by avg psnr, overall
psnr and ssim respectively.

sad_per_bit has been used for a number of motion vector search routines
with different magic weights: 1, 1/2 and 1/4. This commit remove these
magic numbers and use 1/2 for all motion search routines, also reformat
a number of source code lines to within 80 column limit.
Test on cif set shows overall effect is neutral on all metrics. <=0.01%

Declared the bmi in MODE_INFO as a union instead of B_MODE_INFO.
This reduced the memory footprint by 518,400 bytes for 1080
resolutions. The decoder performance improved by ~4% for the
clip used and the encoder showed very small improvements. (0.5%)
This reduction was first mentioned to me by John K. and in a
later discussion by Yaowu.
This is WIP.

This patch collects the twopass specific memebers of VP8_COMP into a
dedicated struct. This is a first step towards isolating the two pass
rate control and aids readability by decorating these variables with
the 'twopass.' namespace. This makes it clear to the reader in what
contexts the variable will be valid, and is a hint that a section of
code might be a good candidate to move to firstpass.c in later
refactoring. There likely will be other rate control modes that need
their own specific data as well.
This notation is probably overly verbose in firstpass.c, so an
alternative would be to access this struct through a pointer like
'rc->' instead of 'cpi->firstpass.' in that file. Feel free to make
a review comment to that effect if you prefer.

The partition_info struct contains info just for SPLITMV,
so it should be used instead of BLOCKD. Eventually, I want
to reduce the size of B_MODE_INFO struct found in BLOCKD, so
this is the first step toward that goal.
Also, since SPLITMV is not supported in vp8_pick_inter_mode(),
the unnecessary mem copies and checks were removed. For rt
encodes, this gave a slight performance improvement.

The compiler produces better assembly when using int_mv

This is to reflect the RD improvement in the encoder. The change has a
small positive impact on quality (0.25% by VPXSSIM and 0.05% by PSNR)
