Calculations were incorrectly classified as either
SSE3 or SSSE3. Only using SSE2 instructions.
Cleanup function names and make non-RTCD code work
as well.

In sub-pixel motion search, the search range is small(+/- 3 pixels).
Preload whole search area from reference buffer into a 32-byte
aligned buffer. Then in search, load reference data from this buffer
instead. This keeps data in cache, and reduces the crossing cache-
line penalty. For tulip clip, tests on Intel Core2 Quad machine(linux)
showed encoder speed improvement:
3.4% at --rt --cpu-used =-4
2.8% at --rt --cpu-used =-3
2.3% at --rt --cpu-used =-2
2.2% at --rt --cpu-used =-1
Test on Atom notebook showed only 1.1% speed improvement(speed=-4).
Test on Xeon machine also showed less improvement, since unaligned
data access latency is greatly reduced in newer cores.
Next, I will apply similar idea to other 2 sub-pixel search functions
for encoding speed > 4.
Make this change exclusively for x86 platforms.

The encoder defined about 4 set of similar functions to calculate sum,
variance or sse or a combination of them. This commit removed one set
of these functions, get8x8var and get16x16var, where calls to the later
function are replaced with var16x16 by using the fact on a 16x16 MB:
variance == sse - sum*sum/256

Renamed configure option "enable-psnr" to "enable-internal-stats" to
better reflect the purpose of the option and eliminate the confusion
reported in http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=35

Use mpsadbw, and calculate 8 sad at once. Function list:
vp8_sad16x16x8_sse4
vp8_sad16x8x8_sse4
vp8_sad8x16x8_sse4
vp8_sad8x8x8_sse4
vp8_sad4x4x8_sse4
(test clip: tulip)
For best quality mode, this gave encoder a 5% performance boost.
For good quality mode with speed=1, this gave encoder a 3%
performance boost.

This patch fixes the system dependent entries for the half-pixel
variance functions in both the RTCD and non-RTCD cases:
- The generic C versions of these functions are now correct.
Before all three cases called the hv code.
- Wire up the ARM functions in RTCD mode
- Created stubs for x86 to call the optimized subpixel functions
with the correct parameters, rather than falling back to C
code.

NEON has optimized 16x16 half-pixel variance functions, but they
were not part of the RTCD framework. Add these functions to RTCD,
so that other platforms can make use of this optimization in the
future and special-case ARM code can be removed.
A number of functions were taking two variance functions as
parameters. These functions were changed to take a single
parameter, a pointer to a struct containing all the variance
functions for that block size. This provides additional flexibility
for calling additional variance functions (the half-pixel special
case, for example) and by initializing the table for all block sizes,
we don't have to construct this function pointer table for each
macroblock.

These functions should never change their input, and there's no
reason not to declare that.
This allows them to be passed static const data.

Changes 'The VP8 project' to 'The WebM project', for consistency
with other webmproject.org repositories.
Fixes issue #97.

When the license headers were updated, they accidentally contained
trailing whitespace, so unfortunately we have to touch all the files
again.
