11a9366e3b Rename a loopfilter parameter
As pointed out by Dmitry and James, "partial" is a Microsoft-
specific c++ keyword, and it is renamed.

903801f1ef vp9 decoder: row-based multi-threaded loopfilter
Implemented parallel loopfiltering, which uses existing tile-
decoding threads. Each thread works on one row, and when that row
is loopfiltered, it moves to next unattended row. To ensure the
correct filtering order, threads are synchronized and one
superblock is filtered only if the superblocks it depends on are
filtered already.

To reduce synchronization overhead and speed up the decoder, we use
nsync > 1 for high resolution.

Performance tests:
1. on desktop:
8-tile 4k video using 8 threads, speedup: 70% - 80%
4-tile HD video using 4 threads, speedup: ~35%
2. on mobile device(Nexus 7):
4-tile 1080p video using 4 threads, speedup: 18% - 25%
4-tile 1080p video using 2 threads, speedup: 10% - 15%
