This patch removes the old pred-filter experiment and replaces it
with one that is implemented using the switchable filter framework.
If the pred-filter experiment is enabled, three interopolation
filters are tested during mode selection; the standard 8-tap
interpolation filter, a sharp 8-tap filter and a (new) 8-tap
smoothing filter.
The 6-tap filter code has been preserved for now and if the
enable-6tap experiment is enabled (in addition to the pred-filter
experiment) the original 6-tap filter replaces the new 8-tap smooth
filter in the switchable mode.
The new experiment applies the prediction filter in cases of a
fractional-pel motion vector. Future patches will apply the filter
where the mv is pel-aligned and also to intra predicted blocks.

This is to add to the 64x64 transform experiment as an alternative to
a 64x64 DCT.
Two levels of wavelet decomposition is used on a 64x64 block, followed
by 16x16 DCT on the four lowest subbands. The highest three subbands
are left untransformed after the first level DWT.

This is to fix a decoder crash when decoder skips a number of frame to
continue decoding from a later key frame.

This commit did a couple of minor cleanup/refactoring to prepare for
futher loop filter experiments. It merged y_only version of loop filter
function into the regular one, which makes sure that same logic is used
for functions for picking level and for actual loop filtering.

Mode selection for SBs could enter an infinite loop because
the interpolation filter mode index was not being reset
correctly.

This experimental change reorders the search so
that all possible references that match the target
reference frame are tested first and these in order
of distance from the current block. These will usually
be the highest scoring candidates.
If we do not find enough good candidates this way
we try non matching cases. These will usually be lower
scoring candidates.
The change in order together with breakouts when
we have found enough candidates should reduce
the computational cost and especially reduce the number
of sort operations.
Quality Results:
Std Hd +0.228%, Hd +0.074%, YT +0.046%, derf +0.137%
This effect is probably due to the fact that more distant
weak candidates are now less likely to get "promoted" over
near candidates even if they are repeated.

Use the proper seg/mode/ref filter offsets when selecting the
frame loop filter level for fast mode (pick_filter_level_fast).

Old Scheme:
When SWITCHABLE filter selection is enabled the encoder
evaluates the use of each interpolation filter type and
selects the best one to use at the MB level. A frame-
level flag can be set to force the use of a particular
filter type for all MBs in a frame if it is more efficient
to encode that way. The logic here involved a Q dependent
threshold that assumed that the second 8-tap filter was
a high-pass filter. However, this requires a trip around
the recode loop. If the frame-level flag indicates use
of a particular filter, the other filters are not
evaluated in the pick_mode loop.
New Scheme:
Each filter type is evaluated at the MB level and a record
of the best filter is kept, irrespective of what filter
is signaled at the frame-level. Once all MBs have been
encoded, a decision is made as to what frame-level mode
to set for the *next* frame. If one filter is used by 80%
or more of the MBs, then this filter is forced since it
is assumed that this will be more efficient if the
next frame has similar characteristics. i.e. there is a
one-frame lag between measuring the filter selection and
setting the frame-level mode to use.

Remove special case function cost_coeffs_2x2() and change function
cost_coeffs() to handle 2nd order haar block as it is handle all
other block types already.

Read mode before calling vp9_find_best_ref_mvs(). If the mode is
ZEROMV, the best ref_mvs are not needed. Then, we can skip calling
vp9_find_best_ref_mvs().

The 2-D inverse transform X = M1*Z*Transposed_M2 was calculated
in 2 steps from left to right:
1. Vertical transform: Y = M1*Z
2. Horizontal transform: X= Y*Transposed_M2
In SIMD, a transpose is needed in vertical transform.
Here, switched the calculation order to do it from right to left.
In this way, we could eliminate that transpose by writing the
intermediate results out to their transposed positions.
