A flush bug is discovered during putting frame parallel decoder
into Android. This test will expose that bug.

Using 4 threads, frame parallel decode is ~3x faster than single thread
decode and around 30% faster than tile parallel decode for frame parallel
encoded video on both Android and desktop with 4 threads. Decode speed is
scalable to threads too which means decode could be even faster with more threads.

The original implementation only allocates one segmentation map and this
works fine for serial decode. But for frame parallel decode, each thread
need to have its own segmentation map and the last frame segmentation map
should be provided from last frame decoding thread.
After finishing decoding a frame, thread need to serve the old segmentation
map that associate with the previous decoded frame. The thread also need to
use another segmentation map for decoding the current frame.

pthread.h is not supported in windows. vp9_thread.h includes

Prepare for frame parallel decoding, the reference count buffers
need to be protected by mutex. Move vp9_thread.* to common
folder so that those buffers could use cross-platform mutex
from vp9_thread.*.

Prepare for frame parallel decoding, the frame buffers must be
separated from the encoder and decoder structure, while the encoder
and decoder will hold the pointer of the BufferPool.

Adapt the use of segmentation in AQ mode 2 based on
the ambient kf/arf/gf Q.
Disable segmentation where the rate per SB is very
low and overheads are likely to outweigh the benefits.
This patch reduces the -ve average metrics impact
of AQ mode 2 while allowing stronger 3 segment AQ
in some cases. Average improvement ~0.5-1.0%.

The y4m extension used is the same as the one used in ffmpeg/x264.
The patch is adapted from the highbitdepth branch.
Also adds unit tests for y4m header parsing and md5 check
of the raw frame data, as well as y4m writing.

This commit re-designs the quantization process for transform
coefficient blocks of size 4x4 to 16x16. It improves compression
performance for speed 7 by 3.85%. The SSSE3 version for the
new quantization process is included.
The average runtime of the 8x8 block quantization is reduced
from 285 cycles -> 255 cycles, i.e., over 10% faster.

Add a conditional compile flag for this feature. Also add a
switch to enable the encoder to use these statistics in the
second pass. Currently, the switch is turned off.

The current threshold is knid of low, and in many cases NEWMV
mode is checked but not picked as the best mode. This patch
added a speed feature to increase NEWMV threshold, so that
less partition mode checking goes to check NEWMV. This feature
is enabled for speed 6 and 7.
Rtc set borg tests showed:
1. Speed 6, overall psnr: -0.088%, ssim: -1.339%;
Average speedup on rtc set is 11.1%.
2. Speed 7, overall psnr: -0.505%, ssim: -2.320%
Average speedup on rtc set is 12.9%.

pull the latest from WebP, which adds a worker interface abstraction
allowing an application to override init/reset/sync/launch/execute/end
this has the side effect of removing a harmless, but annoying, TSan
warning.

Encoder still uses SWITCHABLE as default via DEFAULT_INTERP_FILTER,
but does not override the default if it is not SWITCHABLE.

When the frame is intra coded only, the encoder takes the RD
coding flow. Hence the function set_mode_info is not practically
in use. This commit removes it and the associated conditional
branches.

For real time speed 7, once encode breakout is on(i.e. encoding
setting --static-thresh=1), a proper encode breakout threshold
is set to speed up the encoder.
Set --static-thresh=1, RTC set borg test showed a slight overall
psnr loss of 0.162%, but ssim gain of 0.287%. The average speedup
on RTC set is 6%, and for some clips, the speedup can be 10+%.

Before encoding a frame, calculate and store each 16x16 block's
variance of source difference between last and current frame.
Find partitioning threshold T for the frame from its variance
histogram, and then use T to make partition decisions.
Comparing with fixed 16x16 partitioning, rtc set test showed an
overall psnr gain of 3.242%, and ssim gain of 3.751%. The best
psnr gain is 8.653%.
The overall encoding speed didn't change much. It got faster for
some clips(for example, 12% speedup for vidyo1), and a little
slower for others.
Also, a minor modification was made in datarate unit test.

the buffer is only used in encoding and only when
CONFIG_INTERNAL_STATS or CONFIG_VP9_POSTPROC is enabled.
a future change should decouple this from the frame buffer allocation
and make it conditional based on runtime flags when the above config
options are enabled.
reduces decode heap usage by at least 12%
