With the sad functions, and hopefully the variance functions soon,
moving to the vpx_dsp location, place the defines used in the
reference C code in a common location.

For the test clip used, the decoder performance improved by ~2%.
This is also an intermediate step towards adding back the
mode_info streams.

While turning on "--aq_mode=3", the quantizers are updated by each
thread. Fixed the me consts initialization function to make sure
that the correct thread data are updated.

The rounding factor needs to be scaled down by a factor of 2.
Also, the quantized and dequantized coefficients are memset to 0
when dc quantizer is used.

Initial patch to remove get_zbin_mode_boost() and
cpi->zbin_mode_boost.
For now sets a dummy value of 0 for zbin extra pending
a further clean up patch.

This patch modified struct VP9_COMP. Created a struct ThreadData
to include data that need to be copied for each thread. In
multiple thread case, one thread processes one tile. all threads
share one copy of VP9_COMP,
(refer to VP9_COMP *cpi in the code)
but each thread has its own copy of ThreadData,
(refer to ThreadData *td in the code).
Therefore, within the scope of encode_tiles(), both cpi and td
need to be passed as function parameters.
In single thread case, the FRAME_COUNTS pointer in ThreadData
points to "counts" in VP9_COMMON.

Modified VP9_COMP struct to include MACROBLOCK *mb. This change
makes it feasible in multi-thread case to allocate a mb for each
thread.

Block transform skipping was implemented based on DCT's energy
conservation property. Modified the thresholds using zero bin
parameters. AC and DC coefficients were checked separately to
allow better identifying of skippable blocks.
Borg test at speed 3 showed:
stdhd set: psnr gain: 0.153%, ssim gain: 0.051%;
derf set: psnr gain: 0.023%, ssim gain: 0.036%
For most test clips, the encoding speedup is 1% - 2%.
parkrun(720p): 7.5% speedup, park_joy(1080p): 3.5% speedup.

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.

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.

This commit enables encoder to select fast forward transform and
quantization path according to the prediction residual sse/variance,

This commit enables a new quantization process for 32x32 2D-DCT
transform coefficient blocks. It improves the compression
performance of speed 5 by 1.4%. The overall compression gains of
speed 5 due to the new quantization scheme is 4.7%. It also includes
the SSSE3 implementation of the 32x32 quantization process.

vp9_rdopt is for making rd optimal mode decisions. vp9_rd is for all
other rd related routines. Anything used outside of making an rd optimal
decision belongs in rd.

This commit re-designs the quantization process for transform
coefficient blocks of size 4x4 to 16x16. It improves compression
performance for speed 7 by 3.85%. The SSSE3 version for the
new quantization process is included.
The average runtime of the 8x8 block quantization is reduced
from 285 cycles -> 255 cycles, i.e., over 10% faster.

This commit enables a fast path computational flow for forward
transformation. It checks the sse and variance of prediction
residuals and decides if the quantized coefficients are all
zero, dc only, or more. It then selects the corresponding coding
path in the forward transformation and quantization stage.
It is currently enabled in rtc coding mode. Will do it for rd
coding mode next.
In speed -6, the runtime for pedestrian_area 1080p at 1000 kbps
goes down from 14234 ms to 13704 ms, i.e., about 4% speed-up.
Overall coding performance for rtc set is changed by -0.18%.

In the decoder we don't need to save eobs, we can pass eob as an argument.
That's why removing eob arrays from VP9Decompressor and TileWorkerData,

Its last remaining caller can be passed its results directly without any

The only case where they were intentionally pointing to different
structures was in mbgraph, and this didn't have the expected behavior
because both of these pointers are used interchangeably through the code

This should be similar to what x264 does with --aq-mode 1.
It works well with clips like parkjoy and touhou
(http://x264.nl/developers/Dark_Shikari/LosslessTouhou.mkv).
At low bitrates, the segmentation signaling overhead may negate the
benefits of this feature.
(PGW) Default changed to feature OFF to allow provisional merge.
