In frame parallel decode, libvpx decoder decodes several frames on all
cpus in parallel fashion. If not being flushed, it will only return frame
when all the cpus are busy. If getting flushed, it will return all the
frames in the decoder. Compare with current serial decode mode in which
libvpx decoder is idle between decode calls, libvpx decoder is busy
between decode calls.
Current frame parallel decode will only speed up the decoding for frame
parallel encoded videos. For non frame parallel encoded videos, frame
parallel decode is slower than serial decode due to lack of loopfilter
worker thread.
There are still some known issues that need to be addressed. For example:
decode frame parallel videos with segmentation enabled is not right sometimes.

In frame parallel decode, libvpx decoder decodes several frames on all
cpus in parallel fashion. If not being flushed, it will only return frame
when all the cpus are busy. If getting flushed, it will return all the
frames in the decoder. Compare with current serial decode mode in which
libvpx decoder is idle between decode calls, libvpx decoder is busy
between decode calls. VP9 frame parallel decode is >30% faster than serial
decode with tile parallel threading which will makes devices play 1080P
VP9 videos more easily.

1. Added row-based loopfilter in encoder;
2. Moved common multi-threaded loopfilter functions from decoder
to common;
3. Merged multi-threaded loopfilter code, and made encoder/
decoder call same function to reduce code duplication.
Encoder tests showed that 1% - 2% speedup was seen for good-quality
2-pass mode(at speed 3); 1% - 3% speedup using 2 threads and 4% - 6%
speedup using 4 threads were seen for real-time mode(at speed 7).

Using 4 threads, frame parallel decode is ~3x faster than single thread
decode and around 30% faster than tile parallel decode for frame parallel
encoded video on both Android and desktop with 4 threads. Decode speed is
scalable to threads too which means decode could be even faster with more threads.

this removes an assumption that worker->data1 would be pointing to a
TileWorkerData allocation.
additionally, within the multi-threaded loopfilter pass VP9LfSync as a
parameter to the worker hook, removing the need for a shadow pointer in
LFWorkerData.

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.

the code currently checks whether the allocation has been done instead
of allocating on the first frame.
since:

if the first frame was corrupt and loop filter not called, the next call
would assume the necessary allocations had been done and segfault when
accessing a NULL pointer

pull the latest from WebP, which adds a worker interface abstraction
allowing an application to override init/reset/sync/launch/execute/end
this has the side effect of removing a harmless, but annoying, TSan
warning.

Inline loopfilter has been already handled in vp9_decode_frame().
Collecting all similar code in one place now.

We only used two members from that struct: max_threads and inv_tile_order.
Moving them directly to VP9Decoder struct.

There was a bug with the decoder that if you started the decoder
with more threads than the first frame had tile columns. Afterwards
tried to decode a frame with more tile columns than the first frame,
the decoder would hang. E.g. run vpxdec --threads=4. The first frame
had two tile columns, then the next key frame had 4 tile columns, the
decoder would hang. If you started with 4 tiles and switched to 2
tiles the decoder would be fine. The issue is that the worker the thread
loop is using is stale.
I added a test vector "vp90-2-14-resize-848x480-1280x720.webm" that
exhibited the bug.

Implemented parallel loopfiltering, which uses existing tile-
decoding threads. Each thread works on one row, and when that row
is loopfiltered, it moves to next unattended row. To ensure the
correct filtering order, threads are synchronized and one
superblock is filtered only if the superblocks it depends on are
filtered already.
To reduce synchronization overhead and speed up the decoder, we use
nsync > 1 for high resolution.
Performance tests:
1. on desktop:
8-tile 4k video using 8 threads, speedup: 70% - 80%
4-tile HD video using 4 threads, speedup: ~35%
2. on mobile device(Nexus 7):
4-tile 1080p video using 4 threads, speedup: 18% - 25%
4-tile 1080p video using 2 threads, speedup: 10% - 15%
