This commit replaces the vp8_ prefixed subtract function with the
common vpx_subtract_block function. It removes redundant SIMD
optimization codes and unit tests.

By using 0xff for a short it was not setting the high bits. When
comparing the output with vtst to find non-zero elements it was skipping
vaules which had no low bits set such as -512 / 0xFE00.
Using -8191 as the first element of coeff will generate this condition.

The obj_int_extract code is no longer worth maintaining. It creates
significant issues when adapting for different build systems and no
longer offers as significant of a performance benefit due to
improvements in intrinsics.
Source files will remain until the various third-party builds are updated.
The neon fast quantizer has been moved to intrinsics. The armv6 version
has been removed because so few remaining targets require it.
Compilers and processors have improved significantly since the
pack_tokens code was written. The assembly is no longer faster than the
C code.
pack_tokens were the only optimizations for the armv5te targets so the targets
will be removed after the test infrastructure has been updated.

Use intrinsics for neon quantization. Slight loss (<5%) of performance
compared to the assembly. Roughly 10x faster on arm64 because that was
running C code before.

Used horizonal add instructions instead of adding
byte lanes. The encoder performance improved by
~4% for the test clip used.

The recent compiler can generate optimized code that uses NEON registers
for various operations besides floating-point operations. Therefore,
only saving callee-saved registers d8 - d15 at the beginning of the
encoder/decoder is not enough anymore. This patch added register saving
code in VP8 NEON functions that use those registers.

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.
Change-Id: I2b7d852c18efd58d1ebc621b8041fe0260442c21
For non-static functions, change the prefix to vp9_. For static functions,
remove the prefix. Also fix some comments, remove unused code or unused
function prototypes.

Merges this experiment in to make it easier to run tests on
filter precision, vectorized implementation etc.
Also removes an experimental filter.

Besides imposing a performance penalty at startup in most
configurations, these relocations break the dynamic linker for
native Fennec, since it does not support them at all.

This is a code snapshot of experimental work currently ongoing for a
next-generation codec.
The codebase has been cut down considerably from the libvpx baseline.
For example, we are currently only supporting VBR 2-pass rate control
and have removed most of the code relating to coding speed, threading,
error resilience, partitions and various other features. This is in
part to make the codebase easier to work on and experiment with, but
also because we want to have an open discussion about how the bitstream
will be structured and partitioned and not have that conversation
constrained by past work.
Our basic working pattern has been to initially encapsulate experiments
using configure options linked to #IF CONFIG_XXX statements in the
code. Once experiments have matured and we are reasonably happy that
they give benefit and can be merged without breaking other experiments,
we remove the conditional compile statements and merge them in.
Current changes include:
* Temporal coding experiment for segments (though still only 4 max, it
will likely be increased).
* Segment feature experiment - to allow various bits of information to
be coded at the segment level. Features tested so far include mode
and reference frame information, limiting end of block offset and
transform size, alongside Q and loop filter parameters, but this set
is very fluid.
* Support for 8x8 transform - 8x8 dct with 2nd order 2x2 haar is used
in MBs using 16x16 prediction modes within inter frames.
* Compound prediction (combination of signals from existing predictors
to create a new predictor).
* 8 tap interpolation filters and 1/8th pel motion vectors.
* Loop filter modifications.
* Various entropy modifications and changes to how entropy contexts and
updates are handled.
* Extended quantizer range matched to transform precision improvements.
There are also ongoing further experiments that we hope to merge in the
near future: For example, coding of motion and other aspects of the
prediction signal to better support larger image formats, use of larger
block sizes (e.g. 32x32 and up) and lossless non-transform based coding
options (especially for key frames). It is our hope that we will be
able to make regular updates and we will warmly welcome community
contributions.
Please be warned that, at this stage, the codebase is currently slower
than VP8 stable branch as most new code has not been optimized, and
even the 'C' has been deliberately written to be simple and obvious,
not fast.
The following graphs have the initial test results, numbers in the
tables measure the compression improvement in terms of percentage. The
build has the following optional experiments configured:
--enable-experimental --enable-enhanced_interp --enable-uvintra
--enable-high_precision_mv --enable-sixteenth_subpel_uv

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 cast the result of the multiplication as 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).
PPC change is untested.

This is the final commit in the series converting to the new RTCD
system. It removes the encoder csystemdependent files and the remaining
global function pointers that didn't conform to the old RTCD system.

A processor with ARMv7 instructions does not
necessarily have NEON dsp extensions. This CL
has the added side effect of allowing the ability
to enable/disable the dsp extensions cleanly.
