The point at which frames are scaled to their
coded dimensions is moved into the re-code loop.
This is in preparation for a further patch that
will add logic into the re-code loop to reduce
the coded frame size if the encoder is struggling
to hit the target data rate at the native frame
size.

Add second level arf Q adjustment when using dual arfs
in constant Q mode.
Previously in constant Q mode enabling dual arf hurt by ~5%
but with this change the average benefit is ~1-1.5% with some
mid range data points up ~10%.
Note however that it still hurts on some clips including
some very low motion show content.

This patch allocated frame contexts outside VP9_COMMON. This allows
multiple threads to share the same copy of frame contexts, and
reduces the overhead. It also guarantees the correct update of
these contexts during bitstream packing. This patch doesn't change
encoding result.

Extend --auto-alt-ref from parameter so we can use it to
turn multi-arf on and off from the command line.
For now the range is 0-off, 1-on, 2-multi-arf on.
Rename play_alternate to enable_auto_arf

We encode a empty invisible frame in front of the base layer frame to
avoid using prev_mi. Since there's a restriction for reference frame
scaling factor, we have to make it smaller and smaller gradually until
its size is 16x16.
Change remerged.

This reverts commit 452dc21500a2339ee685cb28efbd2af1b856ea12.
This change has introduced a significant quality regression on content
with forced key frames. (e.g. the YT and yt-hd set). It is most
noticeable in static content where the kf bits dominate. Here, despite
key frames being apparently coded at the same Q, there is a drop in all
metrics of ~20% (e.g clXR and BFa0).

Move the point at which input frames are scaled
into the recode loop. This will allow us to change
the coded frame size dynamically in response
to previous attempts to encode the frame at a
higher resolution.
A following patch will implement a scheme for
resizing the frame in the recode loop.

Miscellaneous bug-fixes for high bitdepth functionality.
With this patch, high bit-depth profiles become mostly functional,
except for an intermittent assert failure issue that is being
tracked.

This patch re-enabled the feature in Pengchong's patch
(commit 12861260732a4fd5f6b667ce9d5105dc9b606eda). Originally, it
was turned on while use_lastframe_partitioning > 0(not used anymore).
Now it was added as a feature, and turned on while speed >= 2.
As described in the original patch, this feature helps speed up the
slideshows in YouTube.

mi_grid_* are arrays of pointer to pointer. They save the pointers that point
to the MIs in cm->mi. But they are unnecessary and complicated. The original
goal was to remove MODE_INFO_t copy. But with an extra MODE_INFO_t pointer
inside MODE_INFO_t, same goal could be achieved.
This commit totally removes the mi_grid_* structures. But there are still
many dummy MODE_INFO_t inside cm->mi which are a waste of memory. Next commit
will do on-demand MODE_INFO_t allocation in order to save these memories.

vpx_svc_parameters_t contains id, resolution and min/max qp for each spatial layer.
In this change we will use extra config to send min/max qp and scaling factors, then calculate layer resolution inside encoder.

Call to vp9_rc_get_second_pass_params() moved from
Pass2Encode() to earlier in vp9_get_compressed_data(),
to ensure that two pass stats and parameters are
available before decisions such as frame scaling.

Adds various high bitdepth transform functions and tests.
Much of the changes are related to using typedefs tran_low_t
and tran_high_t for the final transform cofficients and intermediate
stages of the transform computation respectively rather than fixed
types int16_t/int. When vp9_highbitdepth configure flag is off,
these map tp int16_t/int32_t, but when the flag is on, they map
to int32_t/int64_t to make space for needed extra precision.

Adds config parameter vp9_highbitdepth, to support highbitdepth profiles.
Also includes most vpx level high bit-depth functions. However
encode/decode in the highbitdepth profiles will not work until
the rest of the code is in place.

This commit addes a new strategy to reduce the search for optimal
interpolation filter type. The encoder counts and store how many each
filter type is selected and used for each of the reference frames.
A filter type that is rarely used for all three reference frames is
masked out to avoid computation.
The impact on compression is neglectible:
-0.02% on derf
+0.02% on stdhd
Encoding time is seen to reduce by 2~3%.
