If --enable-ext-partition is used at build time, the superblock size
(sometimes also referred to as coding unit (CU) size) is extended to
128x128 pixels.

If configured with --enable-ext-tile, the codec uses an alternative
tile coding syntax in the bitstream. Changes include::
- The maximum number of tile rows and columns is extended to 1024
each.
- The minimum tile width/height is 64 pixels (1 superblock).
- A tile copy mode is added where a tile directly reuse the coded
data of a previous tile
- The meaning of the tile-columns and tile-rows codec parameters are
overloaded to mean tile-width and tile-height in units of 64
pixels.
- All tiles should now be independent, including rows within the
same columns, so large scale parallel, or independent decoding is
possible.
- vpxdec also gained the options to decode only a particular tile,
tile row, or tile column.
Changes without --enable-ext-tile:
- All tiles should now be independent, including rows within the
same columns, so large scale parallel, or independent decoding is
possible.
- vpxenc default tile configuration changed to use 1 tile column.

This commit separates the predicted motion vector from the nearestmv
motion vector in the coding process for both regular and sub8x8
block sizes.

This has been ported under ext_partition_types because it is due
to be combined with the coding_unit_size experiment which is
already being ported under ext_partition

This allows sharing more code paths with the rest of the code an allows
for easier compatibility with the other experiments.

This commit re-designs the probability model for the syntax elements

This commit enables the dynamic motion vector predictor for NEWMV
mode. It allows the codec to select the best motion vector predictor
in a rate-distortion optimization framework for motion vector
residual coding. The compression performance is improved:
lowres 0.14%
midres 0.27%
hdres 0.24%

This patch added two features to improve entropy coding efficiency
for coefficient tokens.
1. Choose 1 of 4 default probability tables based on q-index for
key-frames.
It is ported from nextgen branch:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/280586/
2. Do backward update after each superblock (64X64) row using
subframe token counts.
Coding gain: 0.1% on lowres; 0.42% on midres; 0.36% on hdres.
Much larger gain for key-frames: 2.6%, 2.3%, 1.7%.

Coding gain on screen_content is 12.2% (was 6.6%).
Some features such as frame-level color buffer, adaptive
entropy coding, are coming in future patches.

Make the RANS implementation operate on cumulative distribution
functions rather than individual probability distribution functions.
CDFs have shown themselves more flexible to work with.
Reduces decoding memory usage from scaling O(num_distributions *
symbol_resolution) to O(num_distributions).
No bitstream change. This is an purely implementation change.

Includes various cosmetic changes and refactoring including
naming the sharp filters differently (since they are no longer
8-tap).

The interintra experiment, which combines an inter prediction and an
inter prediction have been ported from the nextgen branch. The
experiment is merged into ext_inter, so there is no separate configure
option to enable it.

In this experiment, an obmc inter prediction mode is enabled for
>= 8X8 inter blocks. When the obmc flag is on, the regular block-
based motion compensation will be refined by using predictors of
the above and left blocks.
Fixed some compatibility issues with vp9_highbitdepth, supertx,
ref_mv, and ext_interp.

Adds a wiener filter based restoration scheme in loop which can
be optionally selected instead of the bilateral filter.
The LMMSE filter generated per frame is a separable symmetric 7
tap filter. Three parameters for each of horizontal and vertical
filters are transmitted in the bitstream. The fourth parameter
is obtained assuming the sum is normalized to 1.
Also integerizes the bilateral filters, along with other
refactoring necessary in order to support the new switchable
restoration type framework.
derflr: -0.75% BDRATE
[A lot of videos still prefer bilateral, however since many frames
now use the simpler separable filter, the decoding speed is
much better].
Further experiments to follow, related to replacing the bilateral.

Setting FIXED_TX_TYPE as 1 makes the encoder skip tx_type search,
about twice as fast.
This speed feature is off by defualt; we can turn it on when we
want to quickly test new ideas.

This commit generalizes dynamic reference motion vector coding mode
to support multiple candidate modes in the rate-distortion
optimization scheme and to support the selection in the bit-stream
syntax. The maximum number of modes allowed is currently limited to
4. The syntax elements for the dynamic reference motion vector
modes are using binary codes. The scheme supports single reference
frame.
