This patch alters the balance of context between the
coefficient bands (reflecting the position of coefficients
within a transform blocks) and the energy of the previous
token (or tokens) within a block.
In this case the number of coefficient bands is reduced
but more previous token energy bands are supported.
Some initial rebalancing of the default tables has been
by running multiple derf clips at multiple data rates using
the ENTOPY_STATS macro. Further balancing needs to be
done using larger image formatsd especially in regard to
the bigger transform sizes which are not as well represented
in encodings of smaller image formats.

This patch includes 4x4, 8x8, and 16x16 forward butterfly ADST/DCT
hybrid transform. The kernel of 4x4 ADST is sin((2k+1)*(n+1)/(2N+1)).
The kernel of 8x8/16x16 ADST is of the form sin((2k+1)*(2n+1)/4N).

This patch abstracts the selection of the coefficient band
context into a function as a precursor to further experiments
with the coefficient context.
It also removes the large per TX size coefficient band structures
and uses a single matrix for all block sizes within the test function.
This may have an impact on quality (results to follow) but is only an
intermediate step in the process of redefining the context. Also the
quality impact will be larger initially because the default tables will
be out of step with the new banding.
In particular the 4x4 will in this case only use 7 bands. If needed we
can add back block size dependency localized within the function, but
this can follow on after the other changes to the definition of the
context.

This is an initial step to facilitate experimentation
with changes to the prior token context used to code
coefficients to take better account of the energy of
preceding tokens.
This patch merely abstracts the selection of context into
two functions and does not alter the output.

1. Added a bit in frame header to to indicate if a frame is encoded
in lossless mode, so decoder does not make the decision based on Q0
2. Minor changes to make sure that lossy coding works same as when
the lossless experiment is not enabled.
3. Renamed function pointers for transforms to be consistent, using
prefix fwd_txm and inv_txm for forward and inverse respectively
To encode in lossless mode, using "--lossless=1 --min-q=0 --max-q=0"
with vpxenc.

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.

Adds an experiment to derive the previous context of a coefficient
not just from the previous coefficient in the scan order but from a
combination of several neighboring coefficients previously encountered
in scan order. A precomputed table of neighbors for each location
for each scan type and block size is used. Currently 5 neighbors are
used.
Results are about 0.2% positive using a strategy where the max coef
magnitude from the 5 neigbors is used to derive the context.

For coefficients, use int16_t (instead of short); for pixel values in
16-bit intermediates, use uint16_t (instead of unsigned short); for all
others, use uint8_t (instead of unsigned char).

This commit changed the ENTROPY_CONTEXT conversion between MBs that
have different transform sizes.
In additioin, this commit also did a number of cleanup/bug fix:
1. removed duplicate function vp9_fix_contexts() and changed to use
vp8_reset_mb_token_contexts() for both encoder and decoder
2. fixed a bug in stuff_mb_16x16 where wrong context was used for
the UV.
3. changed reset all context to 0 if a MB is skipped to simplify the
logic.

This adds Debargha's DCT/DWT hybrid and a regular 32x32 DCT, and adds
code all over the place to wrap that in the bitstream/encoder/decoder/RD.
Some implementation notes (these probably need careful review):
- token range is extended by 1 bit, since the value range out of this
transform is [-16384,16383].
- the coefficients coming out of the FDCT are manually scaled back by
1 bit, or else they won't fit in int16_t (they are 17 bits). Because
of this, the RD error scoring does not right-shift the MSE score by
two (unlike for 4x4/8x8/16x16).
- to compensate for this loss in precision, the quantizer is halved
also. This is currently a little hacky.
- FDCT and IDCT is double-only right now. Needs a fixed-point impl.
- There are no default probabilities for the 32x32 transform yet; I'm
simply using the 16x16 luma ones. A future commit will add newly
generated probabilities for all transforms.
- No ADST version. I don't think we'll add one for this level; if an
ADST is desired, transform-size selection can scale back to 16x16
or lower, and use an ADST at that level.
Additional notes specific to Debargha's DWT/DCT hybrid:
- coefficient scale is different for the top/left 16x16 (DCT-over-DWT)
block than for the rest (DWT pixel differences) of the block. Therefore,
RD error scoring isn't easily scalable between coefficient and pixel
domain. Thus, unfortunately, we need to compute the RD distortion in
the pixel domain until we figure out how to scale these appropriately.

The commit changed the trellis quantization function optimize_b() to
work for MBs using all transform sizes, and eliminated the function

Previously, the "!=" check is logically incorrect when eob is at 0 and
effective coefficient starting position is 1. This commit should have
no effect on bitstream.

This patch allows use of 8x8 and 4x4 ADST correctly for Intra
