For splitmv, where partitioning is 8x16, 16x8 or 8x8, this patch
uses the 8x8 transform (instead of the 4x4) if txfm_mode is
ALLOW_8X8 or ALLOW_16X16. For TX_MODE_SELECT, splitmv can indicate
which of the 2 transform sizes (4x4 or 8x8) it wants to use.
Gains (with hybridtx4x4/8x8/16x16 and tx_select experiments
enabled) on derf: +0.9%, HD: +0.4%, STD/HD: +0.8% (SSIM or overall
PSNR, both metrics show similar improvements).

Separates the logic on transform type selection previously spread out
over a number of files into a separate function. Currently the tx_type
field in b_mode_info is not used, but still left in there to eventually
use for signaling the transform type in the bitstream.
Also, now for tx_type = DCT_DCT, the regular integer DCT is used, as
opposed to the floating point DCT used in conjuction with hybrid
transform.
Results change somewhat due to the transform change, but are within
reasonable limits. The hd/std-hd sets are slightly up, while derf/yt
are slightly down.

This way a caller doesn't need to implement the logic for which (and how
many) tokens to write out to stuff one macroblock worth of EOBs. Make
the actual function implementations static, since they are now only used
in tokenize.c; also do some minor stylistic changes so it follows the
style guide a little more closely; use PLANE_TYPE where appropriate,
remove old (stale) frame_type function arguments; hardcode plane type
where only a single one is possible (2nd order DC or U/V EOB stuffing);

If a reference frame is forced because of low dissimilarity, then

1. Algorithm modification:
Instead of having same filter threshold for a whole frame, now we
allow the thresholds to be adjusted for each macroblock. In current
implementation, to avoid excessive blur on background as reported
in issue480(http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=480), we
reduce the thresholds for skipped macroblocks.
2. SSE2 optimization:
As started in issue479(http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=479),
the filter calculation was adjusted for better performance. The c
code was also modified accordingly. This made the deblock filter
2x faster, and the decoder was 1.2x faster overall.
Next, the demacroblock filter will be modified similarly.

In some situations, believed to be an interaction between temporal
scalability and dropped frames, the references available to an
encoder may not be the same references available to its parent.
Previously, the code tried to force the reference frame chosen by
the parent to be used on this frame, even if it was disabled. This
was preventing the pick mode loop from running even once, which led
to a crash.
Attempts to reproduce this bug locally were unsuccessful, so it is
still undetermined what the underlying cause of this issue is. In
the specific case that was failing, the application did not set
any flags which influenced the reference selection on that frame.
ref_frame_flags indicated that the golden frame was disabled,
believed to be because the last frame updated the last and golden
frames, so golden was shut off by default. It's not clear why this
wouldn't have also been true in the lower res encoder, ie, why the
lower res encoder decided to use and/or was allowed to use the
golden frame. We weren't able to debug into the non-crashing
lower res encoder as the crash couldn't be reproduced locally.

This commit fixes unsafe simd / floating point interactions arising
from the current hybrid and 16x16 transform implementation.
These led to a raft of bugs and issues when the project was
built using VS2008 for Win32 though they did not show up with
the unix builds.
Gerrit makes a meal out of presenting the fix but all I have actually
done is indent the body of each function that uses floating point by
one level and bracket with emms instructions using the function
vp8_clear_system_state(). See below.
function () {
vp8_clear_system_state();
{
... function body
}
vp8_clear_system_state();
}
This is almost certainly over the top in terms of number of emms
instructions but is a temporary measure pending implementation of
integer variants of each function to replace the floating point.
Limited testing suggests that this fixes the problems that arose for
Win32 VS2008 when the hybrid or 16x16 transforms were enabled.

The high-precision (1/8) pel bit is turned off if the reference
MV is larger than a threshold. The motivation for this patch is
the intuition that if motion is likely large (as indicated by
the reference), there is likley to be more motion blur, and as
a result 1/8 pel precision would be wasteful both in rd sense
as well as computationally.
The feature is incorporated as part of the newmventropy experiment.

Adds a new experiment with redesigned/refactored motion vector entropy
coding. The patch also takes a first step towards separating the
integer and fractional pel components of a MV. However the fractional
pel encoding still depends on the integer pel part and so they are
not fully independent. Further experiments are in progress to see
how much they can be decoupled without affecting performance.
All components including entropy coding/decoding, costing for MV
search, forward updates and backward updates to probability tables,
have been implemented.

The denoiser function was modified to reduce the computational
complexity.
1. The denoiser c function modification:
The original implementation calculated pixel's filter_coefficient
based on the pixel value difference between current raw frame and last
denoised raw frame, and stored them in lookup tables. For each pixel c,
find its coefficient using
filter_coefficient[c] = LUT[abs_diff[c]];
and then apply filtering operation for the pixel.
The denoising filter costed about 12% of encoding time when it was
turned on, and half of the time was spent on finding coefficients in
lookup tables. In order to simplify the process, a short cut was taken.
The pixel adjustments vs. pixel diff value were calculated ahead of time.
adjustment = filtered_value - current_raw
= (filter_coefficient * diff + 128) >> 8
The adjustment vs. diff curve becomes flat very quick when diff increases.
This allowed us to use only several levels to get a close approximation
of the curve. Following the denoiser algorithm, the adjustments are
further modified according to how big the motion magnitude is.
2. The sse2 function was rewritten.
This change made denoiser filter function 3x faster, and improved the
encoder performance by 7% ~ 10% with the denoiser on.

This commit adds a pick_sb_mode() function which selects the best 32x32
superblock coding mode. Then it selects the best per-MB modes, compares
the two and encodes that in the bitstream.
The bitstream coding is rather simplistic right now. At the SB level,
we code a bit to indicate whether this block uses SB-coding (32x32
prediction) or MB-coding (anything else), and then we follow with the
actual modes. This could and should be modified in the future, but is
omitted from this commit because it will likely involve reorganizing
much more code rather than just adding SB coding, so it's better to let
that be judged on its own merits.
Gains on derf: about even, YT/HD: +0.75%, STD/HD: +1.5%.

The sync interval for the multithreaded encoder was considered as not changing
during the encoding. This is not true if picture size is changed.
The encoder could dead-lock because the main thread and the other threads were
using different sync interval.

After the picture size was changed to a bigger one, the internal memory was
corrupted and multithreaded encoder was deadlocking.
Memory for last frame's MVs, segmentation map and active map were allocated when
the compressor was created (vp8_create_compressor). Buffers need to be
reallocated when picture size is changed, so, the allocation was moved to
vp8_alloc_compressor_data, which is called every time the picture is resized.

Merged the enhanced_interp experiment.
Found and fixed a bug in the include files framework, whereby
certain encoder files were still using the old INTERP_EXTEND
value of 3 instead of 4. The thresholds for mv range mcomp.c
need a small adjustment to prevent crashes.
The results are more or less unchanged.

Allows for swtiching/setting interpolation filters at the MB
level. A frame level flag indicates whether to use a specifc
filter for the entire frame or to signal the interpolation
filter for each MB. When switchable filters are used, the
encoder chooses between 8-tap and 8-tap sharp filters. The
code currently has options to explore other variations as well,
which will be cleaned up subsequently.
One issue with the framework is that encoding is slow. I
tried to do some tricks to speed things up but it is still slow.
Decoding speed should not be affected since the number of
filter taps remain unchanged.
With the current version, we are up 0.5% on derf on average but
some videos city/mobile improve by close to 4 and 2% respectively.
If we did a full-search by turning the SEARCH_BEST_FILTER flag
on, the results are somewhat better.
The framework can be combined with filtered prediction, and I
seek feedback regarding that.
Rebased.

The ambient qp and active worse/best qp were reset for every frame
when temporal layers is on. This change removes this reset.
As this affects the target size for forced key frames
(it will actually lower the size somewhat), we increased the
inital boost factor to compensate.

SAD returns unsigned values. Make all the declarations the same.
Remove bestsad initialization and check. It is always set to the
result of a SAD call so it will never remain UINT_MAX
Use ja instead of jg to test unsigned comparison instead of signed.
Update test.

The following five experiments are merged:
newentropy
newupdate
adaptive_entropy (also includes a couple of parameter changes
that improves results a little
in common/entropymode.c and encoder/modecosts.c
that were not merged from the internal branch)
newintramodes
expanded_coef_context

Precalculated block ptrs do not need updates during encoding.
Set these at init stage.
Moved the allocation of 'mt_current_mb_col' (last encoded MB on each
row) to vp8_alloc_compressor_data(), so that it is correctly
reallocated when frame size is changing.

Added drop_frame support in multi-resolution encoder.
If one frame is dropped at a lower-resolution level, the next
upper-resolution level encoder needs to encode that frame
independently without any lower-resolution level motion
information.
Another issue is that if one frame is dropped at some but not all
resolution levels, a frame after that one may use different set
of reference frames at different resolution levels. This reference
frame asynchronization could degrade motion search precision in
upper-resolution level encoding, which uses lower-resolution level
motion result. This change compares the lower-resolution and upper-
resolution level's reference frames. If they are not the same, the
upper-resolution level encoder can not use lower-resolution level
motion result.

Adds ADST/DCT hybrid transform coding for Intra4x4 mode.
The ADST is applied to directions in which the boundary
pixels are used for prediction, while DCT applied to
directions without corresponding boundary prediction.
Adds enum TX_TYPE in b_mode_infor to indicate the transform
type used.
Make coding style consistent with google style.
Fixed the commented issues.
Experimental results in terms of bit-rate reduction:

the integer version has very good precision, the float version is no
longer useful. this commit also removes the experiment option from
configure script.
