Optimizing 2 functions to process 32 elements in parallel instead of 16:
1. vp9_sub_pixel_avg_variance64x64
2. vp9_sub_pixel_avg_variance32x32
both of those function were calling vp9_sub_pixel_avg_variance16xh_ssse3
instead of calling that function, it calls vp9_sub_pixel_avg_variance32xh_avx2
that is written in avx2 and process 32 elements in parallel.
This Optimization gave 80% function level gain and 2% user level gain

Two convolve functions were optimized for AVX2:
1. vp9_filter_block1d16_h8
2. vp9_filter_block1d16_v8
vp9_filter_block1d16_v8 was optimized for AVX2 by reducing the number of
loop strides by half, two strides were processed in parallel.
vp9_filter_block1d16_v8 was also optimized in the same way also some of the
loads were being done outside of the loop and by that preventing redundant
loads.
This Optimization gives 43% function level gain and 1.3% user level gain.
Now can be compiled in Windows

Optimizing the variance functions: vp9_variance16x16, vp9_variance32x32,
vp9_variance64x64, vp9_variance32x16, vp9_variance64x32,
vp9_mse16x16 by migrating to AVX2
some of the functions were optimized by processing 32 elements instead of 16.
some of the functions were optimized by processing 2 loop strides of 16
elements in a single 256 bit register
This optimization gives between 2.4% - 2.7% user level performance gain
and 42% function level gain.

Add a full range motion search for regular block sizes. This runs
exhaustive search within the given reference area. This commit further
optimizes the search process by combining 4 points test into one
pipeline, which gives 30% speed-up as compared to run each individual
point at a time.
This full range search serves as a best possible motion search reference.
When replacing the diamond search with full range search, the speed 0
runtime of bus CIF at 2000 kbps goes from 153872ms to 623051ms. The
compression performance compared to speed 0 setting gains 0.585% for
derf set.

This patch followed "Add filter_selectively_vert_row2 to enable
parallel loopfiltering" commit, and added x86 SSE2 optimization
to do 16-pixel filtering in parallel. For other optimizations
(neon and dspr2), current 16-pixel functions were done by calling
8-pixel functions twice, and real 16-pixel functions could be added
later.
Decoder speedup:
tulip clip: 2% speed gain;
old_town_cross: 1.2% speed gain;
bus: 2% speed gain.

This patch followed "Rewrite filter_selectively_horiz for parallel
loopfiltering" commit, and added x86 SSE2 optimization to do
16-pixel filtering in parallel. Also, corrected the declaration
of aligned arrays. For 8-pixel-in-parallel case, improved the
calculation of the masks and filters. Updated the threshold loading
since the thresholds were already duplicated. Updated neon C functions
to call neon loopfilters twice.
Using tulip clip, tests showed it gave a ~1.5% decoder speed gain.

This CL contains two AVX2 optimized loop filter functions,
mb_lpf_horizontal_edge_w_avx2_8 and mb_lpf_horizontal_edge_w_avx2_16.

When only upper-left 8x8 area has non-zero dct coefficients, we
could skip 1D IDCT for 9th to 32th rows to save operations. This
function is called when eob <= 34.
