This new vp8_decode_mb_tokens() uses a modified version of
WebP's GetCoeffs function. For now, the dequant does not
occur in GetCoeffs.
Tests showed performance improvements up to 2.5% depending
on material.

Adds logic to disable mfqe for the first frame after a configuration
change such as change in resolution. Also adds some missing
if CONFIG_POSTPROC macro checks.

This change added a motion search skipping mechanism similar
to what we did in second pass. For a macroblock that is very
similar to the macroblock at same location on last frame,
we can set its mv to be zero, and skip motion search. This
improves first-pass performance for slide shows and video
conferencing clips with a slight PSNR loss.

This issue likely doesn't appear in the unmodified encoder, but
sufficient hacking on the mode selection loop can expose it.

Break MFQE code into it's own file.
It is currently only valid for 16x16 and 8x8 Y blocks. It also filters
4x4 U/V blocks.
Refactor filtering and add associated assembly. Limited test cases show
--mfqe introduces a penalty of ~20% with HD content. The assembly
reduces the penalty to ~15%

Coefficient costing failed to take account of the first branch
being skipped ( 0 vs eob) if the previous token is 0.
Fixed rd to account for slightly increased token cost & cleaned up

Produce the token partitions on-the-fly, while processing each MB.
Context is updated at the beginning of each frame based on the
previoud frame's counters. Optimally encoder outputs partitions in
separate buffers. For frame based output, partitions are concatenated
internally.
Limitations:
- enabled just in combination with realtime-only mode
- number of encoding threads has to be equal or less than the
number of token partitions. For this reason, by default the encoder
will do 8 token partitions.
- vpxenc supports partition output (-P) just in combination with
IVF output format (--ivf)
Performance:
- Realtime encoder can be up to 13% faster (ARM) depending on the number
of threads and bitrate settings. Constant gain over the 5-16 speed
range.
- Token buffer reduced from one frame to 8 MBs
Quality:
- quality is affected by the delayed context updates. This again
dependents on input material, speed and bitrate settings. For VC
style input the loss seen is up to 0.2dB. If error-resilient=2
mode is used than the effect of this change is negligible.
Example:
./configure --enable-realtime-only --enable-onthefly-bitpacking
./vpxenc --rt --end-usage=1 --fps=30000/1000 -w 640 -h 480
--target-bitrate=1000 --token-parts=3 --static-thresh=2000
--ivf -P -t 4 -o strm.ivf tanya_640x480.yuv

Eliminated some mb branches along with other code cleanups.
This is part of an ongoing effort to remove cut/paste
code in the decoder.
Change-Id: Ifabb0f67cafa6922b5a0e89a0d03a9b34e9e5752
Reworked the code to use vp8_build_intra_predictors_mby_s,
vp8_intra_prediction_down_copy, and vp8_intra4x4_predict_d_c
functions instead. vp8_intra4x4_predict_d_c is a decoder-only
version of vp8_intra4x4_predict. Future commits will fix this
code duplication.

When we encode slide-show clips, for the majority of the time,
only ZEROMV mode is checked, and all other modes are skipped.
This change delayed uv intra-mode evaluation until intra mode is
actually checked. This gave big performance gain for slide-show
video encoding (2nd pass gain: 18% to 28%). But, this change
doesn't help other types of videos.
Also, zbin_mode_boost is adjusted in mode-checking loop, which
causes bitstream mismatch before/after this change when --best
or --good with --cpu-used=0 are used.

When temporal layers is used (i.e., number_of_layers > 1),
we don't use the frame rate boost for setting the key
frame target size. The factor was forcing the target size to be
always at its minimum (2* per_frame_bandwidth) for low frame rates
(i.e., base layer frame rate).
Generally we should modify or remove this frame rate factor;
for now we turn if off for number_of_layers > 1.
