This commit fixes a compiling error in vp9_idct.h, where the codec
checks that the intermediate steps of transformation fit within
16-bit length. The issue was due to broken file dependency.

When calculating delta in VP8 denoiser, since the block size is fixed to 16x16,
the divisor is 256, which is the number of the pixel.
But in VP9, the block size varies, the divisor should correspond to the block
size.

One is a more aggressive version of the pruned subpel tree
search where only a single halfpel candidate is searched.
The search candidate is based on a surface fit result.
The other is a method to obtain the subpel position at one
shot based on the same surface fit.
The methods have not been deployed in any speed setting yet.

This commit enables the encoder to skip checking ALTREF inter modes
in ARF coding, if the predicted motion vectors suggest that the
GOLDEN_FRAME provides higher prediction accuracy than ALTREF_FRAME.
It improves the speed 3 encoding speed by about 5%, at the expense
of compression performance loss -0.041% and -0.225% for derf and
stdhd, respectively.

This patch re-enabled the feature in Pengchong's patch
(commit 1286126073). Originally, it
was turned on while use_lastframe_partitioning > 0(not used anymore).
Now it was added as a feature, and turned on while speed >= 2.
As described in the original patch, this feature helps speed up the
slideshows in YouTube.

mi_grid_* are arrays of pointer to pointer. They save the pointers that point
to the MIs in cm->mi. But they are unnecessary and complicated. The original
goal was to remove MODE_INFO_t copy. But with an extra MODE_INFO_t pointer
inside MODE_INFO_t, same goal could be achieved.
This commit totally removes the mi_grid_* structures. But there are still
many dummy MODE_INFO_t inside cm->mi which are a waste of memory. Next commit
will do on-demand MODE_INFO_t allocation in order to save these memories.

vpx_svc_parameters_t contains id, resolution and min/max qp for each spatial layer.
In this change we will use extra config to send min/max qp and scaling factors, then calculate layer resolution inside encoder.

Substantial restructuring of the way we estimate
the rate of decay in prediction quality and determine
the arf interval and amount of boost used.
Also other changes to support moving to a lower first pass
Q which exposes some new features and allows us to better
distinguish genuinely static blocks from low motion or noisy
blocks.
Net gains now visible on all the test sets with std-hd PSNR up
1.87%. There are still some bad outlier cases but most of these
are low motion or slide show type content where the metrics
are already high at any given rate. The best + case is up by
more than 10%.

The ARF frame should always be the same size as the

If the partition block is skippable, which means no coefficients
for Y, U, and V planes, its skip flag is set to 1. No quality
change (verified by borg tests), and no noticeable speed change.

Libvpx was memseting every external frame buffer before decode. This
was to work around a valgrind issue in our C loop filter. Most of
the time this was not needed and we have noticed some significant
performance loss on some platforms. Now we require the application to
zero out the buffers if it is using external frame buffers.

The issue was discovered on bitstream with 2x vertical downscale. For
zero MVs, y_pad is set to 1 only when vertical convolution is
required. The original code assumes that for y_step_q4 == 32 we don't
perform vertical convolution. But vp9_setup_scale_factors_for_frame()
sets convolve functions so that when x_step and y_step are both not
equal to 16, convolve in both directions is performed. And convolve()
unconditionally subtracts one stride from source pointer when calls
convolve_horiz(). This leads to invalid memory access.

When a reference frame type is not in the frame buffer, the mode
search threshold will be set to INT_MAX, so as to effectively
turn off the mode entries in the rate-distortion optimization loop
that involves this reference frame type. This operation is now
integrated in the ref_frame_skip_mask scheme. This commit hence
removes the redundant mode search threshold setting.

Adds various high bitdepth transform functions and tests.
Much of the changes are related to using typedefs tran_low_t
and tran_high_t for the final transform cofficients and intermediate
stages of the transform computation respectively rather than fixed
types int16_t/int. When vp9_highbitdepth configure flag is off,
these map tp int16_t/int32_t, but when the flag is on, they map
to int32_t/int64_t to make space for needed extra precision.
