There was a bug with the decoder that if you started the decoder
with more threads than the first frame had tile columns. Afterwards
tried to decode a frame with more tile columns than the first frame,
the decoder would hang. E.g. run vpxdec --threads=4. The first frame
had two tile columns, then the next key frame had 4 tile columns, the
decoder would hang. If you started with 4 tiles and switched to 2
tiles the decoder would be fine. The issue is that the worker the thread
loop is using is stale.
I added a test vector "vp90-2-14-resize-848x480-1280x720.webm" that
exhibited the bug.

If show_existing_frame indicates that the decoder should
display an existing (previously decoded) frame, add a
check to make sure that the signaled buffer does contain
a valid decoded frame.

Prior to this commit, both encoder and decoder reset mode/mv info from
previous frame in error resilient mode to ensure bitstreams are able to
decode when there is loss of frame in decoder side. However, this is
not necessary. This commit changed to remove the reset, so encoder can
continue to use mode/mv/partition information from previously encoded
frame without affecting decodeablilty under loss of frame.

This CL changes libvpx to call a function when a frame buffer
is needed for decode. Libvpx will call a release callback when
no other frames reference the frame buffer. This CL adds a
default implementation of the frame buffer callbacks. Currently
only VP9 is supported. A future CL will add support for
applications to supply their own frame buffer callbacks.

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%
