63fc44dfa5 correct quantizer initialization
The encoder was not correctly catching transitions in the quantizer
deltas. If a delta_q was set, then the quantizer would be reinitialized
on every frame, but if they transitioned to 0, the quantizer would
not be reinitialized, leading to a encode-decode mismatch.

This bug was triggered by commit 999e155, which sets a Y2 delta Q
for very low base Q levels.

e5904f2d5e Delay auto key frame insertion in realtime configuration
Whe auto keyframe insertion is enabled and conditions are right (scene change)
the encoder can decide to insert a key frame and does a re-encoding. This can
introduce extra latency. In RT mode we do not do the re-encoding of the current
frame but force the next frame to key frame.

a3f71ccff6 Correction to buffer update for non-viewable frames.
The code previously tested cpi->common.refresh_alt_ref_frame
but there are situations where this flag may be set for viewable frames.

The correct test should be !cm->show_frame.

999e155f55 cap the best quantizer for 2nd order DC
This commit also removes artificial RDMULT cap for low quantizers.
The intention is to address some abnormal behavior of mode selections
at the low quantizer end, where many macroblocks were coded with
SPLITMV with all partitions using same motion vector including (0,0).
This change improves the compression quality substantially for high
quality encodings in both PSNR and SSIM terms. Overall effect on
mid/low rate range is also positive for all metrics, but smaller
in magnitude.

8064583d26 Further work to reduce pulsing.
These changes are specifically targeted at fade transitions to
static scenes. Here we want to place a GF/ARF immediately
after the fade and prevent an ARF just  before the fade.

Also some code lines and comment lines shortened to 80 chars
while I was there.

5b42ae09ae experiment extending the quantizer range
Prior to this change, VP8 min quantizer is 4, which caps the
highest quality around 51DB. This experimental change extends
the min quantizer to 1, removes the cap and allows the highest
quality to be around ~73DB, consistent with the fdct/idct round trip
error. To test this change, at configure time use options:

--enable-experimental --enable-extend_qrange

The following is a brief log of changes in each of the patch sets

patch set 1:
In this commit, the quantization/dequantization constants are kept
unchanged, instead scaling factor 4 is rolled into fdct/idct.
Fixed Q0 encoding tests on mobile:
  Before:    9560.567kbps Overall PSNR:50.255DB VPXSSIM:98.288
  Now:   18035.774kbps Overall PSNR:73.022DB VPXSSIM:99.991

patch set 2:
regenerated dc/ac quantizer lookup tables based on the scaling
factor rolled in the fdct/idct. Also slightly extended the range
towards the high quantizer end.

patch set 3:
slightly tweaked the quantizer tables and generated bits_per_mb
table based on Paul's suggestions.

patch set 4:
fix a typo in idct, re-calculated tables relating active max Q
to active min Q

patch set 5:
added rdmult lookup table based on Q

patch set 6:
fix rdmult scale: dct coefficient has scaled up by 4

patch set 7:
make transform coefficients to be within 16bits

patch set 8:
normalize 2nd order quantizers

patch set 9:
fix mis-spellings

patch set 10:
change the configure script and macros to allow experimental code
to be enabled at configure time with --enable-extend_qrange

patch set 11:
rebase for merge

339c512762 Fix CQ range and experimental KF sizing changes.
The CQ level was not using the q_trans[] array to convert
to a 0-127 range as per min and maxq

Experimental change to try and match the reconstruction
error for forced key frames approximately to that of the
previous frame by means of the recode loop. Though this
may cause extra recodes and the recode behavior has not
been optimized, it can only happen on forced key frames.

c8338ebf7a KF/GF Pulsing
This change is designed to try and reduce pulsing effects when moving
with a complex transition like a fade, into an easy or static section in
an otherwise difficult clip in CQ mode.

The active CQ level is relaxed down to the user entered level for frames that
are generating less than the passed in minimum bandwidth.

Where a key frame occurs because of a minimum interval
selected by the user, then these forced key frames ideally need
to be more closely matched in quality to the surrounding frame.

cf7c4732e5 Two Pass VBR change
Further experiment with restriction of the Q range.

This uses the average non KF/GF/ARF quantizer,  instead
of just relying on the initial value. It is not such a strong constraint
but there may be a reduced risk of rate misses.

e0846c9c8c CQ Mode
The merge includes hooks to for CQ mode and other code
changes merged from the test branch.

CQ mode attempts to maintain a more stable quantizer within a clip
whilst also trying to adhere to a guidline maximum bitrate.

The existing target data rate parameter is used to specify the
guideline maximum bitrate.

A new parameter allows the user to specify a target CQ level.

For normal (non kf/gf/arf) frames, the quantizer will not drop BELOW the
user specified value (0-63). However, in some cases the encoder may
choose to impose a target CQ that is above that specified by the user,
if it estimates that consistent use of the target value is not compatible
with guideline maximum bitrate.

092b5bef37 abstract apply_temporal_filter
allow for optimized versions of apply_temporal_filter
(now vp8_apply_temporal_filter_c)

the function was previously declared as static and appears to have been
inlined. with this change, that's no longer possible. performance takes
a small hit.

the declaration for vp8_cx_temp_filter_c was moved to onyx_if.c because
of a circular dependency. for rtcd, temporal_filter.h holds the
definition for the rtcd table, so it needs to be included by onyx_int.h.
however, onyx_int.h holds the definition for VP8_COMP which is needed
for the function prototype. blah.

cec6a596b5 Change to inter_minq table.
The inter_minq table controls the range of quantizers available
for a particular frame in two pass relative to a max Q value.

The changes reduces the range somewhat. The effect of this
was a small increase (0.3% average) in psnr for the test set
but it should also help encode speed somewhat for higher
quality modes as it will reduce the number of iterations in the
recode loop.

The change damps the range of quantizers available locally
within a section of a clip and should therefore help keep quality
more uniform. If there is systematic overshoot or undershoot the
range can shift gradually to accommodate. However, there is
some increased risk of overshoot or undershoot against the target
bit rate in VBR mode and this risk will be more pronounced for short
clips.

full search range helps the performance.
