Creates a merge between the master and experimental branches. Fixes a
number of conflicts in the build system to allow *either* VP8 or VP9
to be built. Specifically either:
$ configure --disable-vp9 $ configure --disable-vp8
--disable-unit-tests
VP9 still exports its symbols and files as VP8, so that will be
resolved in the next commit.
Unit tests are broken in VP9, but this isn't a new issue. They are
fixed upstream on origin/experimental as of this writing, but rebasing
this merge proved difficult, so will tackle that in a second merge
commit.

This change is necessary for the frame-based multithreading
implementation.
Since the postproc occurs in this call, vpxdec was modified to time around
vpx_codec_get_frame()

Allows building the library with the gcc -pedantic option, for improved
portabilty. In particular, this commit removes usage of C99/C++ style
single-line comments and dynamic struct initializers. This is a
continuation of the work done in commit 97b766a46, which removed most
of these warnings for decode only builds.

This is a code snapshot of experimental work currently ongoing for a
next-generation codec.
The codebase has been cut down considerably from the libvpx baseline.
For example, we are currently only supporting VBR 2-pass rate control
and have removed most of the code relating to coding speed, threading,
error resilience, partitions and various other features. This is in
part to make the codebase easier to work on and experiment with, but
also because we want to have an open discussion about how the bitstream
will be structured and partitioned and not have that conversation
constrained by past work.
Our basic working pattern has been to initially encapsulate experiments
using configure options linked to #IF CONFIG_XXX statements in the
code. Once experiments have matured and we are reasonably happy that
they give benefit and can be merged without breaking other experiments,
we remove the conditional compile statements and merge them in.
Current changes include:
* Temporal coding experiment for segments (though still only 4 max, it
will likely be increased).
* Segment feature experiment - to allow various bits of information to
be coded at the segment level. Features tested so far include mode
and reference frame information, limiting end of block offset and
transform size, alongside Q and loop filter parameters, but this set
is very fluid.
* Support for 8x8 transform - 8x8 dct with 2nd order 2x2 haar is used
in MBs using 16x16 prediction modes within inter frames.
* Compound prediction (combination of signals from existing predictors
to create a new predictor).
* 8 tap interpolation filters and 1/8th pel motion vectors.
* Loop filter modifications.
* Various entropy modifications and changes to how entropy contexts and
updates are handled.
* Extended quantizer range matched to transform precision improvements.
There are also ongoing further experiments that we hope to merge in the
near future: For example, coding of motion and other aspects of the
prediction signal to better support larger image formats, use of larger
block sizes (e.g. 32x32 and up) and lossless non-transform based coding
options (especially for key frames). It is our hope that we will be
able to make regular updates and we will warmly welcome community
contributions.
Please be warned that, at this stage, the codebase is currently slower
than VP8 stable branch as most new code has not been optimized, and
even the 'C' has been deliberately written to be simple and obvious,
not fast.
The following graphs have the initial test results, numbers in the
tables measure the compression improvement in terms of percentage. The
build has the following optional experiments configured:
--enable-experimental --enable-enhanced_interp --enable-uvintra
--enable-high_precision_mv --enable-sixteenth_subpel_uv

Adds a multiframe postprocessing module to enhance the quality of
certain frames that are coded at lower quality than preceding frames.
The module can be invoked from the commandline by use of the --mfqe
option, and will be most beneficial for enhancing the quality of
frames decoded using scalable patterns.
Uses the vp8_variance_var16x16 and vp8_variance_sad16x16 function
pointers to compute SAD and Variance of blocks.

The error-concealer is plugged in after any motion vectors have been
decoded. It tries to estimate any missing motion vectors from the
motion vectors of the previous frame. Intra blocks with missing
residual are replaced with inter blocks with estimated motion vectors.
This feature was developed in a separate sandbox
(sandbox/holmer/error-concealment).

This change simply exercises the VP8D_GET_FRAME_CORRUPTED control,
outputting a warning message at the end if the bit was set for any
frames. Should never produce any output for good input.

Adds following targets to configure script to support RVCT compilation
without operating system support (for Profiler or bare metal images).
- armv5te-none-rvct
- armv6-none-rvct
- armv7-none-rvct
To strip OS specific parts from the code "os_support"-config was added
to script and CONFIG_OS_SUPPORT flag is used in the code to exclude OS
specific parts such as OS specific includes and function calls for
timers and threads etc. This was done to enable RVCT compilation for
profiling purposes or running the image on bare metal target with
Lauterbach.
Removed separate AREA directives for READONLY data in armv6 and neon
assembly files to fix the RVCT compilation. Otherwise
"ldr <reg>, =label" syntax would have been needed to prevent linker
errors. This syntax is not supported by older gnu assemblers.

STDIO streams are opened in text mode by default on Windows. This patch
changes the stdin/stdout streams to be in binary mode if they are being
used for I/O from the vpxenc or vpxdec tools.
Fixes issue #216. Thanks to mw AT hesotech.de for the fix.

This eliminates a large set of warnings exposed by the Mozilla build
system (Use of C++ comments in ISO C90 source, commas at the end of
enum lists, a couple incomplete initializers, and signed/unsigned
comparisons).
It also eliminates many (but not all) of the warnings expose by newer
GCC versions and _FORTIFY_SOURCE (e.g., calling fread and fwrite
without checking the return values).
There are a few spurious warnings left on my system:
../vp8/encoder/encodemb.c:274:9: warning: 'sz' may be used
uninitialized in this function
gcc seems to be unable to figure out that the value shortcut doesn't
change between the two if blocks that test it here.
../vp8/encoder/onyx_if.c:5314:5: warning: comparison of unsigned
expression >= 0 is always true
../vp8/encoder/onyx_if.c:5319:5: warning: comparison of unsigned
expression >= 0 is always true
This is true, so far as it goes, but it's comparing against an enum, and the C
standard does not mandate that enums be unsigned, so the checks can't be
removed.

This allows multiple post processor debug levels to be overlayed.
i.e. can show colored reference blocks and visual motion vectors.

This patch reworks the default behavior of the tool to output Y4M
instead of writing individual raw frames. The relevant controls are
now:
--yv12, --i420 - These options change the output format to be
raw planar data. The output will be Y4M unless
one of these options is specified.
--flipuv - Swaps the chroma planes. Works with Y4M output.
-o, --output - Sets the output filename. Defaults to stdout if
not specified. Supports escape character
expansion for frame width (%w) height (%h) and
sequence number (%1..%9). The --prefix option
has been removed in favor of this escape
expansion.
Since the output defaults to stdout if -o is not specified, an
error will be thrown if stdout is not connected to a pipe. This
can be overridden by specifying '-o -'.

The new WebM output support should be preferred to IVF, but we can't
change the default behavior of the ivf* tools. There are a few other
default behaviors for these tools that are counterintuitive for
historical reasons, and changing the binary name provides the
opportunity to clean those up as well. This patch takes the first
step by renaming the binaries.
