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:
1698234 Missed some variance casts
fea3556 Fix variance overflow

additionally dct.h was removed; declare the _c functions that are used
in the tests. the TODO for conversion to parameterized tests still
remains.

there are still a couple type of warning left, which are related to
double constants assigned to float type. As those would be addressed
by the conversion of transforms into integer version. This commit
has left those un-dealt with.

The block sizes for decoding tokens are up to 16x16, which means
eobs is within [0, 256]. Using (signed) char is not enough. Changed
eobs data type to unsigned short to fix the problem.
