Tests that the external interface to set the internal codec scaling
works as expected. Also updates the test to pull the height from
the decoded frame size rather than parsing the keyframe header,
in anticipation of allowing resolution changes on non-keyframes.

This commit adds the 8 tap SSSE3 subpixel filters back into the code
underneath the convolve API. The C code is still called for 4x4
blocks, as well as compound prediction modes. This restores the
encode performance to be within about 8% of the baseline.
Change-Id: Ife0d81477075ae33c05b53c65003951efdc8b09c
Update the code to call the new convolution functions to do subpixel
prediction rather than the existing functions. Remove the old C and
assembly code, since it is unused. This causes a 50% performance
reduction on the decoder, but that will be resolved when the asm for
the new functions is available.
There is no consensus for whether 6-tap or 2-tap predictors will be
supported in the final codec, so these filters are implemented in
terms of the 8-tap code, so that quality testing of these modes
can continue. Implementing the lower complexity algorithms is a
simple exercise, should it be necessary.
This code produces slightly better results in the EIGHTTAP_SMOOTH
case, since the filter is now applied in only one direction when
the subpel motion is only in one direction. Like the previous code,
the filtering is skipped entirely on full-pel MVs. This combination
seems to give the best quality gains, but this may be indicative of a
bug in the encoder's filter selection, since the encoder could
achieve the result of skipping the filtering on full-pel by selecting
one of the other filters. This should be revisited.
Quality gains on derf positive on almost all clips. The only clip
that seemed to be hurt at all datarates was football
(-0.115% PSNR average, -0.587% min). Overall averages 0.375% PSNR,
0.347% SSIM.

This commit introduces a new convolution function which will be used to
replace the existing subpixel interpolation functions. It is much the
same as the existing functions, but allows for changing the filter
kernel on a per-pixel basis, and doesn't bake in knowledge of the
filter to be applied or the size of the resulting block into the
function name.
Replacing the existing subpel filters will come in a later commit.

This is identical to the later decisions made in encode_superblock().
This commit doesn't actually change anything, but makes the mbmi state
more consistent between the RD loop and the final encode result.

The RD loop would change the pointer after the first mode (DC) was tested,
leading to corrupt block objects being provided for the others. This
would essentially render the i8x8 predictor useless.

First step in simplifying the segment mode and
segment EOB flags into a simpler segment skip
flag that implies 0,0 mv and EOB at position 0.

Simplification to eliminate a number of very large data
data structures. All zero run, zbin boosts for different
transform sizes are now limited to a maximum run length
of 15 before they max out the boost.
Some further work still needs be done to refactor, rationalize
and optimize the multiple quantizer functions.
The simplification coupled with tweaks to the 16 element array
now used for all transform sizes, has minimal effect on quality.

We'd backup and restore all cols for a 64x64 SB, but the array wouldn't
be big enough to hold all that data.
Change-Id: Ic68ea721bf07e0b2f3937bd16b0b734bcc743ce1
Adds a flag to disable features that would inhibit frame parallel
decoding. This includes backward adaptation and MV sorting based
on search in ref frame buffer.
Also includes some minor clean-ups.

Added a quick eob == 0 check. Once the integer version of the dct32x32 is
complete, we can check for other eob cases.
For the 1080p clip used, the decoder performance improved by 4%.
Change-Id: I9390b6ed3c8be0c0c0a0c44c578d9a031d6e026e
Adds an error-resilient mode where frames can be continued
to be decoded even when there are errors (due to network losses)
on a prior frame. Specifically, backward updates are turned off
and probabilities of various symbols are reset to defaults at
the beginning of each frame. Further, the last frame's mvs are
not used for the mv reference list, and the sorting of the
initial list based on search on previous frames is turned off
as well.
Also adds a test where an arbitrary set of frames are skipped
from decoding to simulate errors. The test verifies (1) that if
the error frames are droppable - i.e. frame buffer updates have
been turned off - there are no mismatch errors for the remaining
frames after the error frames; and (2) if the error-frames are non
droppable, there are not only no decoding errors but the mismatch
PSNR between the decoder's version of the post-error frames and the
encoder's version is at least 20 dB.

* changes:
Use alt-ref frame context for keyframes
Preserve the previous golden frame on golden updates
Generalize and increase frame coding contexts
Start to anonymize reference frames
Update encoder to use fb_idx_ref_cnt
Remove buffer-to-buffer copy logic
This matches the behavior prior to generalizing the frame context
selection, and intuitively makes sense in that the first forward ref
is immediately after the keyframe, so it's quality is improved a bit
by using the keyframe's entropy context rather than the default.

The loop filtering used for MB edge or internal edge of a MB using 8x8
tranform was reading 5 pixel each side and writting 3 pixel each side.
With suggestion from Aki and Scott on hardware&software performance,
this commit changed to read 4 pixel each side and write 3 pixel each
side.

This commit restores the quality lost when the buffer-to-buffer copy
logic was removed. Note that this is specific to the current use of
golden frames and will need rework when RTC functionality is added.

Previously there were two frame coding contexts tracked, one for normal
frames and one for alt-ref frames. Generalize this by signalling the
context to use in the bitstream, rather than tieing it to the alt ref
refresh bit. Also increase the number of contexts available to 4, which
may be useful for temporal scalability.

Remove lst_fb_idx, gld_fb_idx, alt_fb_idx, refresh_last_frame,
refresh_golden_frame, refresh_alt_ref_frame from common. Gold/Alt are
encode side conventions. From the decoder's perspective, we want to be
dealing with numbered references.
Updates to active_ref 2 signal mode context switches, vestigial from
refresh_alt_ref_frame. This needs some clean up to make sense with
increased numbers of reference frames, as well as reimplementing the
swapping of alt/golden which was previously done using the
buffer-to-buffer copy mechanism removed in an earlier commit.

Do reference counting the same way on the encoder as the decoder does,

This is the first in a series of commits to add additional reference
frames to the codec. Each frame will be able to update any of the
