For the experimental branch we are trying to slim the codebase
down removing features such as threading for now which complicate
the process of development and testing.

This commit merges the NEWNEAR experiment such that it
is effectively always on.
The fact that there were changes in the threading code again
highlights the need to strip out such features during the
bitstream development phase as trying to maintain this code
(especially as it is not being tested) slows the development cycle.

This commit added code to keep track of separate entropy contexts for
normal frames and alt ref frames. The underly assumption was that the
two type of frames have different entropy characteristics given they
typically have quite different quantization levels. By keeping entropy
contexts separate, it helps the entropy context distribution to be more
closely adapted to each frame type.
Tests on derf set showed a good and very consistent gain on all clips
on all metrics, avg psnr: 0.89%, overall psnr: 0.84% and ssim 0.93%.

This commit enabled the usage of 8x8 intra prediction modes on inter
frames. There are a few TODO items related to this: 1)baseline entropy
need be calibrated; 2)cost of UV need to be done more properly rather
than using decision only relying on Y; 3)Threshold for allowing picking
8x8 intra prediction should be lowered to lower than the B_PRED.
Even with all the TODOs, tests showed consistent gain on derf set ~0.1%
(PSNR:0.08% and SSIM:0.14%). It is assumed that 8x8 intra prediction
will help more on large resolution clips, especially with above TODOs
addressed.

Fixed some further QIndex related issues and replaced some tables
(eg zbin and rounding)
Also Added function (currently disabled by default) to populate the
main AC and DC quantizer tables. Using the original AC range the
resulting computed DC values give behavior broadly comparable
on the DERF set. That is not to say that the equations will hold good
over a more extended range. The purpose of this code is to make it
easier to experiment with further alterations to the Q range and distribution
of Q values plus the relative weights given to AC and DC.
The function find_fp_qindex() ensures that changes to the Q tables
are reflected in the value passed in to the first pass code.
Slight experimental adjustment to static segment Q offset.

This is an experiment to include a mv contribution from last frame to
nearest and near mv definition. Initial test showed some small though
consistent gain.
latest patch slightly better result ~.13%-~.18%.
TODO: the entropy used to encode the mode choice, i.e. the mv counts
based conditional distribution of modes should be re-collected to
reflect this change, it is expected that there is some further gain
from that.

Removal of CONFIGURE_SEGMENTATION ifdefs.
Removal of legacy support code fo the old coding mechanism.
Use local reference "xd" for MACROBLOCKD structure in
encode_frame_to_data_rate()
Moved call to choose_segmap_coding_method() out of encode
loop as the cost of segmentation is not properly accounted
in the loop anyway. If this is desirable in the future it
can be moved back. The use of this function to do all the
analysis and set the probabilities also removes the need
to track segment useage in threading code.

These changes fixes a glitch between the RTP profile and the input
partitions interface. Since there's no way for the user to know the
actual number of partitions, the decoder have to read the
multi_token_paritition bits also when input partitions mode is
enabled.
Included are also a couple of fixes for issues with independent
partitions and uninitialized memory reads.

When error concealment is enabled the first key frame must
be successfully received before error concealment is activated.
Error concealment will be activated when the delta following
delta frame is received.
Also fixed a couple of bugs related to error tracking in
multi-threading. And avoiding decoding corrupt residual
when we have multiple non-resilient partitions.

sharpness was not recalculated in vp8cx_pick_filter_level_fast
remove last_filter_type. all values are calculated, don't need to update
the lfi data when it changes.
always use cm->sharpness_level. the extra indirection was annoying.
don't track last frame_type or sharpness_level manually. frame type
only matters for motion search and sharpness_level is taken care of in
frame_init
move function declarations to their proper header

With this fix, the experimental branch now builds and encodes correctly
with the following two configure options respectively:
--enable-experimental --enable-t8x8
--enable-experimental

The auto merge process pull and merge commits from public git or master
branch. These automerges while worked well most time, but has created
a few problems. This commit fixed several issues existed long before
the latest 8x8 transform commit.

Separate simple filter with reduced no. of parameters.
MB filter level picking based on precalculated table. Level table updated for
each frame. Inside and edge limits precalculated and updated just when
sharpness changes. HEV threshhold is constant.
ARM targets use scalars and others vectors.
Change works only with --target=generic-gnu
All other targets have to be updated!

With this commit frames can be received partition-by-partition
from the encoder and passed partition-by-partition to the
decoder.
At the encoder-side this makes it easier to split encoded
frames at partition boundaries, useful when packetizing
frames. When VPX_CODEC_USE_OUTPUT_PARTITION is enabled,
several VPX_CODEC_CX_FRAME_PKT packets will be returned
from vpx_codec_get_cx_data(), containing one partition
each. The partition_id (starting at 0) specifies the decoding
order of the partitions. All partitions but the last has
the VPX_FRAME_IS_FRAGMENT flag set.
At the decoder this opens up the possibility of decoding partition
N even though partition N-1 was lost (given that independent
partitioning has been enabled in the encoder) if more info
about the missing parts of the stream is available through
external signaling.
Each partition is passed to the decoder through the
vpx_codec_decode() function, with the data pointer pointing
to the start of the partition, and with data_sz equal to the
size of the partition. Missing partitions can be signaled to
the decoder by setting data != NULL and data_sz = 0. When
all partitions have been given to the decoder "end of data"
should be signaled by calling vpx_codec_decode() with
data = NULL and data_sz = 0.
The first partition is the first partition according to the
VP8 bitstream + the uncompressed data chunk + DCT address
offsets if multiple residual partitions are used.

vp8_yv12_copy_frame_ptr() expects same size
buffers which was not previously gaurenteed.
Using an improperly allocated buffer would
cause a crash before.

If setup_token_decoder reported an internal error the memory allocated
there would not be freed in the resulting call to _remove_decompressor.

The fb_idx_ref_cnt book-keeping was in error. Added an assert to
prevent future errors in the reference count vector. Also fixed a
pointer syntax error.

The error-concealer is plugged in after any motion vectors have been
decoded. It tries to estimate any missing motion vectors from the
motion vectors of the previous frame. Intra blocks with missing
residual are replaced with inter blocks with estimated motion vectors.
This feature was developed in a separate sandbox
(sandbox/holmer/error-concealment).

A large number of functions were defined with external linkage, even
though they were only used from within one file. This patch changes
their linkage to static and removes the vp8_ prefix from their names,
which should make it more obvious to the reader that the function is
contained within the current translation unit. Functions that were
not referenced were removed.
These symbols were identified by:
$ nm -A libvpx.a | sort -k3 | uniq -c -f2 | grep ' [A-Z] ' \
| sort | grep '^ *1 '
