In the process of developing new intra prediction modes, tests have
shown removal of the low pass filtering from B_HE_PRED and B_VE_PRED
has an overall minor positive impact in both PSNR and SSIM metric.
Overall difference is about 0.1%. The change shall also have a small
positive impact on speed. Intuitively, this change should also reduce
some of the tendency of "flattening"

Changing the MAX_PSNR to 100 to allow testing of further experiments
on extending quantizer range to near lossless. With an effective
quantizer of 1, encoder achieves ~68DB, which is consistent with
fdct/idct round trip error.

Extending the value range of tokens allows further experiments on
extending quantizer range. Encoder and decoder were verified to
produce matching reconstructed buffers by tests with forced
quantized value of 1.

Replaced existing code to decide if a frame recode is required
with a function call. This is to simplify addition of extra clauses
that may be needed for the planned constrained quality mode.
Also fixed a bug where by alt ref not considered in the test.

The example for disabling the active map used a hard-coded 320x240
resolution, rather than using what was passed on the command line.

This function was never called in a context expecting a return value,
the return value was always a constant, and the !CONFIG_MULTITHREAD
path didn't have a return statement, which caused a compiler warning.
This patch changes the function to return void instead.
Fixes issue #231

The ERROR macro collides wiith the MS SDK on Windows. Since we're not
making any win32 calls in this function, just #undef it first to take
ownership.

x86-64 passes arguments in registers. There is no need to push
them to the stack before using them.
This fixes 15acc84f10 where ebx
was not getting preserved on x86.

The use of incorrect mv costing tables in the ARNR sub-pel
filtering code led to corruption of the altref buffer in some cases,
particularly at low data rates.
The average gain from this fix is about 0.3% but there are a few
extreme cases where nasty and visible artifacts manifested and
for these few data points the improvement is > 10%.

When the first pts equaled 0 ivfenc was incorrectly increasing the
pts by 1. I changed the pts and last pts to be signed. I also set
the default value of last pts to -1.

This intends to correct the tendency that VP8 aggressively favors rate
on intra coded frames. Experiments tested different numbers in [0, 1]
and found 9/16 overall provided about 2-4% gains for all-intra coded
clips based on vpx-ssim metric. The impact on regular encoded clips
is much smaller but positive overall. Overall impact on psnr is also
positive even though very small.

The fast quantizer assembly code has not been updated to match the new
exact quantizer, which was made the default in commit 6adbe09.
Specifically, they are not aware of the potential for the coefficient
to be scaled, which results in the quantized result exceeding the range
of the DCT. This patch restores the previous behavior of using the
non-shifted coefficients when in the fast quantizer code path, but
unfortunately requires rebuilding the tables when switching between the
two.

- Used three probability approach for temporal context as follows:
P0 - probability of no change if both above and left not changed
P1 - probability of no change if one of above and left has changed
P2 - probability of no change if both above and left have changed
In addition, a 1 bit/frame has been used to decide whether to use temporal context or to encode directly. The cost of using both the schemes is calculated ahead and the temporal_update flag is set if the cost of using temporal context is lower than encoding the segment ids directly.
This approach has given around 20% reduction in cost of bits needed to encode segmentation ids.
