mode_info_context was stored as a grid of MODE_INFO structs.
The grid now constists of pointers to MODE_INFO structs. The
MODE_INFO structs are now stored as a stream (decoder only),
eliminating unnecessary copies and is a little more cache
friendly.

mode_info_context was stored as a grid of MODE_INFO structs.
The grid now constists of a pointer to a MODE_INFO struct and
a "in the image" flag. The MODE_INFO structs are now stored
as a stream, eliminating unnecessary copies and is a little
more cache friendly.
For the test clips used, the decoder performance improved
by ~4.3% (1080p) and ~9.7% (720p).
Patch Set 2: Re-encoded clips with latest. Now ~1.7% (1080p)
and 5.9% (720p).

This speed feature allows the encoder to largely remove the spatial
dependency between blocks inside a 64x64 superblock, thereby removing
the need to repeatedly encode superblocks per partition type in the
rate-distortion optimization loop.
A major challenge lies in the intra modes tested in the rate-distortion
optimization loop. The subsequent blocks do not have access to the
reconstructed boundary pixels without the intermediate coding steps.
This was resolved by using the original pixels for intra prediction
in the rd loop, followed by an appropriately designed distortion
modeling on the quantization parameters. Experiments also suggested
that the performance impact is more discernible at lower bit-rate/psnr
settings. Hence a quantizer dependent threshold is applied to deactivate
skip of block coding.
For bus_cif at 2000 kbps,
speed 0: runtime 269854ms -> 237774ms (12% speed-up) at 0.05dB
performance loss.
speed 1: runtime 65312ms -> 61536ms, (7% speed-up) at 0.04dB
performance loss.
This operation is currently turned on in settings of speed 1.

1. remove prediction mode conversion
2. unified bmode, same for key and non-key frame
3. set I4X4_PRED count for pdf to 0, as I4X4_PRED is no longer
coded ever. It is determined by ref_frame and block partition

This commit removes the use of bmi_ in the first-pass encoding by
forcing encode_intra4x4block_ to use DC_PRED, followed by DCT_DCT
only, as John suggested. This makes the need for bmi buffer only
up to 4 entries, instead of 16.

This patch eliminates the intermediate diff buffer usage by
combining the short idct and the add residual into one function.
The encoder can use the same code as well.

This allows removing a large number of transform size specific functions,
as well as supporting 444/alpha by routing all code through the
subsampling-aware path.

Separate the functionality of I4X4_PRED from decode_mb. Use
decode_atom_intra instead, to enable recursive partition of superblock

This originally was "Removed update_blockd_bmi()". Now,
this patch removed bmi from blockd and uses the bmi found
in mode_info_context. Eliminates unnecessary bmi copies between
blockd and mode_info_context.

Use in-place buffers (dst of MACROBLOCKD) for macroblock prediction.
This makes the macroblock buffer handling consistent with those of
superblock. Remove predictor buffer MACROBLOCKD.

This patch will use the dest buffer instead of the
predictor buffer. This will allow us in future commits
to remove the extra mem copy that occurs in the dequant
functions when eob == 0. We should also be able to remove
extra params that are passed into the dequant functions.

More specifically, remove vp9_quantize_mb*, vp9_optimize_mb*,
vp9_inverse_transform_mb* and vp9_transform_mb*. Instead, use the
generic _sb* functions that take a size argument, and call them with
BLOCK_SIZE_MB16X16.

This fix resolves some of the mismatch issues being seen
recently. While this is the right thing to do when tiling
is used for this experiment, it is not the underlying cause
of the the mismatches.
Something else is causing writing outside of the allowable
frame area in the encoder leading to this mismatch.

This patch revamps the entropy coding of coefficients to code first
a non-zero count per coded block and correspondingly remove the EOB
token from the token set.
STATUS:
Main encode/decode code achieving encode/decode sync - done.
Forward and backward probability updates to the nzcs - done.
Rd costing updates for nzcs - done.
Note: The dynamic progrmaming apporach used in trellis quantization
is not exactly compatible with nzcs. A suboptimal approach has been
used instead where branch costs are updated to account for changes
in the nzcs.
TODO:
Training the default probs/counts for nzcs

Split macroblock and superblock tokenization and detokenization
functions and coefficient-related data structs so that the bitstream
layout and related code of superblock coefficients looks less like it's
a hack to fit macroblocks in superblocks.
In addition, unify chroma transform size selection from luma transform
size (i.e. always use the same size, as long as it fits the predictor);
in practice, this means 32x32 and 64x64 superblocks using the 16x16 luma
transform will now use the 16x16 (instead of the 8x8) chroma transform,
and 64x64 superblocks using the 32x32 luma transform will now use the
32x32 (instead of the 16x16) chroma transform.
Lastly, add a trellis optimize function for 32x32 transform blocks.
HD gains about 0.3%, STDHD about 0.15% and derf about 0.1%. There's
a few negative points here and there that I might want to analyze
a little closer.
