Adds a new end-usage option for constant quality encoding in vpx. This
first version implemented for VP9, encodes all regular inter frames
using the quality specified in the --cq-level= option, while encoding
all key frames and golden/altref frames at a quality better than that.
The current performance on derfraw300 is +0.910% up from bitrate control,
but achieved without multiple recode loops per frame.
The decision for qp for each altref/golden/key frame will be improved
in subsequent patches based on better use of stats from the first pass.
Further, the qp for regular inter frames may also be varied around the
provided cq-level.

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).

The 32x32 forward transform can potentially reach peak coefficient
value close to 32700, while the rounding factor can go upto 610.
This could cause overflow issue in the SSSE3 implementation of 32x32
quantization process.
This commit resolves this issue by replacing the addition operations
with saturated addition operations in 32x32 block quantization.

Moves counting of mv branches to where we have a new mv, instead of after
the whole frame is summed.

This commit fixed the potential overflow issue in the SSE2
implementation of 32x32 forward DCT. It resolved the corrupted
coded frames in the border of scenes.

- Intermediate height was not correct i.e. when block size is 4 and
y_step_q4 is 6. In this case intermediate height was
(4*6) >> 4 = 1 and vertical interpolation needs two source pixels
plus 7 extra pixels for taps.
- Also if the current output block is 16x16 and we are using 4x upscaling
we need only 12 rows after horizontal filtering instead of 16.
Patch Set 2: Intermediate_height updated after CL 66723
"Fix bug in convolution functions (filter selection)"

The 32x32 quantization process can potentially have the intermediate
stacks over 16-bit range, thereby causing enc/dec mismatch. This commit
fixes this overflow issue in the SSSE3 implementation, as well as the
prototype, of 32x32 quantization.
This fixes issue 607 from webm@googlecode.

This patch is a reformatted version of optimizations done by
engineers at Intel (Erik/Tamar) who have been providing
performance feedback for VP9. For the test clips used (720p, 1080p),
up to 1.2% performance improvement was seen.
