The postproc vp9_denoise() is a spatial denoise/blur function.
It was not intended to be used if temporal denoising is enabled.

This patch fixes a bug that causes the loop filter search to reset to
a low value or zero after each arf overlay frame. We expect the overlay
frames to need little or no loop filtering but this should not propagate.

Different quality levels are used for different regions in
the frame depending on how far they are vertically from the
center. Specifically, three segments are used based on the
mi_row index with respect number to the number of mi_rows in
the frame.

This change alters the nature and use of exhaustive motion search.
Firstly any exhaustive search is preceded by a normal step search.
The exhaustive search is only carried out if the distortion resulting
from the step search is above a threshold value.
Secondly the simple +/- 64 exhaustive search is replaced by a
multi stage mesh based search where each stage has a range
and step/interval size. Subsequent stages use the best position from
the previous stage as the center of the search but use a reduced range
and interval size.
For example:
stage 1: Range +/- 64 interval 4
stage 2: Range +/- 32 interval 2
stage 3: Range +/- 15 interval 1
This process, especially when it follows on from a normal step
search, has shown itself to be almost as effective as a full range
exhaustive search with step 1 but greatly lowers the computational
complexity such that it can be used in some cases for speeds 0-2.
This patch also removes a double exhaustive search for sub 8x8 blocks
which also contained a bug (the two searches used different distortion
metrics).
For best quality in my test animation sequence this patch has almost
no impact on quality but improves encode speed by more than 5X.
Restricted use in good quality speeds 0-2 yields significant quality gains
on the animation test of 0.2 - 0.5 db with only a small impact on encode
speed. On most clips though the quality gain and speed impact are small.

This function now has an AVX intrinsics version which is about 80%
faster compared to the C implementation. This provides a 2-4% total
speed-up for encode, depending on encoding parameters. The function
utilizes 3 properties of the cost function lookup table, constructed
in 'cal_nmvjointsadcost' and 'cal_nmvsadcosts'.
For the joint cost:
- mvjointsadcost[1] == mvjointsadcost[2] == mvjointsadcost[3]
For the component costs:
- For all i: mvsadcost[0][i] == mvsadcost[1][i]
(equal per component cost)
- For all i: mvsadcost[0][i] == mvsadcost[0][-i]
(Cost function is even)
These must hold, otherwise the AVX version of the function cannot be used.

Source noise level estimate is also useful for
setting variance encoder parameters (variance thresholds,
qp-delta, mode selection, etc), so allow it to be used also
if denoising is not on.

Use the existing VP9_SET_SVC control to set the
first spatial layer to encode.
Since we loop over all spatial layers inside the encoder, the
setting of spatial_layer_id via VP9_SET_SVC has no relevance.
Use it instead to set the first_spatial_layer_to_encode,
which allows an application to skip encoding lower layer(s).
Change only affects the 1 pass CBR SVC.

Temporary fix to denoiser when dynamic resizing is on.
-Reallocate denoiser buffers on resized frame.
-Force golden update on resized frame.
-Don't denoise resized frame, and copy source into denoised buffers.

Dynamic resizing now support two-steps scaling: first go down to
3/4 and then 1/2. This feature is under a flag which controls the
switch between two-steps scaling and one-step scaling (1/2 only).

The loopfilter masks are now built in the decode loop.
This is done so we can eventually reduce the number of
MODE_INFO structs required by the decoder.
The encoder builds the masks for the entire frame prior
to calling the loopfilter.

In the decoder, map this to the output variable vpx_image_t.r_w/h.
This is intended as an improved version of VP9D_GET_DISPLAY_SIZE,
which doesn't work with parallel frame decoding. In the encoder,
map this to a codec control func (VP9E_SET_RENDER_SIZE) that takes
a w/h pair argument in a int[2] (identical to VP9D_GET_DISPLAY_SIZE).
Also add render_size to the encoder_param_get_to_decoder unit test.
See issue 1030.

The name "display_*" (or "d_*") is used for non-compatible information
(that is, the cropped frame dimensions in pixels, as opposed to the
intended screen rendering surface size). Therefore, continuing to use
display_* would be confusing to end users. Instead, rename the field
to render_*, so that struct vpx_image can include it.

For 1 pass CBR spatial-SVC:
Add cyclic refresh parameters to the svc-layer context.
This allows cyclic refresh (aq-mode=3) to be applied to
the whole super-frame (all spatial layers).
This gives a performance improvement for spatial layer encoding.
Addd the aq_mode mode on/off setting as command line option.

The normative (convolve8) filter is optimized/faster than
the nonnormative one. Pass usage of scaler (normative/nonomorative)
to vp9_scale_if_required(), and always use normative one for 1 pass.

If the encoder dynamic resize is triggered and change config()
is then called, it will reset the current (resized) codec width/height
back to the the config (unresized) width/height (which will then
prevent the resizing action from occurring in encoder_loop).
Avoid this by checking for a change in the config width/height
before resetting the cm->width/height.

For one pass CBR: only check for updating refresh_golden
if ext_refresh_frame_flags_pending is not set (i.e., == 0).
And move the resetting of ext_refresh_frame_flags_pending = 0
down to after the encode_loop (and account for dropped frames).
This is to prevent changing refresh_golden flga when the user
supplies the reference/update flags.

Switch to use the normative (convolve8) filter for source scaling,

quality than either the vpx_scale_frame or the nonnormative scaler.
