Added code to support 256 index steps instead of 128 but disabled for now.
Replace hard wired table vp8cx_base_skip_false_prob[128]
Observed Qindex problem with setting minimum loop filter value.
(Experiment code using real Q in place but for now just returning 0. This has a big
beneficial effect on some clips, particularly waterfall which shows 5% ssim gain)

Initial attempt at using new segment feature signaling
to indicate 4x4 or 8x8 transform.
needs --enable-experimental --enable-t8x8
Note this is work in progress.

Modify reference frame segmentation so that ONE or MORE
reference frames may be marked as a available for a given
segment.
Fixed bugs relating to segment coding of INTRA and some
INTER modes at the segment level.
Modified Q boost for static areas based on ambient average Q.
Strong results now on clips with significant static areas.
(some data points in derf set as high as 9% and some static &
slide show type content in YT set > 20%)

Only encode sign bit for feature data that can have a sign.
Tweaks to the test segmentation rules so that it now actually gives
a net benefit on the derf set of about 0.4% though much higher
on some clips at the low end.

This quite large check in includes the following:
Merge in some code from Ronald (mbgraph.c) that scans a Gf/arf group.
This is used as a basis for a simple segmentation for the normal frames
in a gf/arf group. This code also uses satd functions from Yaowu.
Adds functionality for coding the latest possible position of an EOB for
blocks in the segment. (Currently 0-15 only, hence just for 4x4 dct).
Where the EOB position is 0 this acts like "skip" and the normal coding
of skip at the per mb level is disabled.
Added functions (seg_common.c) for setting and reading segment feature
elements. These may want to be optimized away at some point but while the
mecahnism is in a state of flux they provide a single location for making
changes and keep things a bit cleaner.
This is still proof of concept code. Currently the tested feature set:-
Quantizer,
Loop Filter level,
Reference frame,
Prediction Mode,
EOB end stop.
TBD:-
Add functions for setting and reading the feature data with range
and validity checking.
Handling of signed and unsigned feature data. At the moment all is assumed
to be signed and a sign bit is coded but many cannot be negative.
Correct handling of EOB feature with intra coded blocks.
Testing/trapping of legal/illegal ref frame and mode combinations.
Transform size switch plus merge and test with 8c8 DCT work
Merge and test with Sumans Segmenation coding optimizations
