Adds various high bitdepth transform functions and tests.
Much of the changes are related to using typedefs tran_low_t
and tran_high_t for the final transform cofficients and intermediate
stages of the transform computation respectively rather than fixed
types int16_t/int. When vp9_highbitdepth configure flag is off,
these map tp int16_t/int32_t, but when the flag is on, they map
to int32_t/int64_t to make space for needed extra precision.

This commit fixes a bug related to skipping intra mode checking, by
using a separate variable to store the best prediction error from
inter mode. It avoids unintentionally overwriting intra mode

The use of use_lastframe_partitioning is totally removed in good-

The speedup in rd_pick_partition() function makes it possible
to drop use_lastframe_partitioning feature. By doing that, we
achieve good PSNR gain with small speed loss. Also, this makes
encoding loop less complicated. The code cleanup patch will
follow.

stdhd set: 0.139% PSNR gain, 0.109% SSIM gain;
derf set: 0.447% PSNR gain, 0.442% SSIM gain.
The average speed loss over selected test clips is within 1%
with the worst case of 4%.

The rate costs calculated for inter modes are not precise in some
cases, which causes NEWMV is chosen instead of NEARESTMV, NEARMV,

we will use a softer filter by adopting an adjustment to
make the result closer to original pixel (as in VP8 denoiser).
The old code made the adjustment in the wrong direction.

Use unsigned int type to store the sse in the pixel domain. The
precision is sufficient to handle sse of block size up to 64x64.
The transform domain version however needs int64_t, since there is
a transfer gain applied in the forward transformation that might
cause unsigned int overflow.

In order to understand memory layout consider the declaration of the
following structs. The first one is a part of our API:
struct vpx_codec_ctx {
// ...
struct vpx_codec_priv *priv;
};
The second one is defined in vpx_codec_internal.h:
struct vpx_codec_priv {
// ...
};
The following struct is defined 4 times for encoder/decoder VP8/VP9:
struct vpx_codec_alg_priv {
struct vpx_codec_priv base;
// ...
};
Private data allocation for the given ctx:
struct vpx_codec_ctx *ctx = <get>
struct vpx_codec_alg_priv *alg_priv = <allocate>
ctx->priv = (struct vpx_codec_priv *)alg_priv;
The cast works because vpx_codec_alg_priv has a
vpx_codec_priv instance as a first member 'base'.

In the partition search, the encoder checks all possible
partitionings in the superblock's partition search tree.
This patch proposed a set of criteria for partition search
early termination, which effectively decided whether or
not to terminate the search in current branch based on the
"skippable" result of the quantized transform coefficients.
The "skippable" information was gathered during the
partition mode search, and no overhead calculations were
introduced.
This patch gives significant encoding speed gains without
sacrificing the quality.

This commit addes a new strategy to reduce the search for optimal
interpolation filter type. The encoder counts and store how many each
filter type is selected and used for each of the reference frames.
A filter type that is rarely used for all three reference frames is

The impact on compression is neglectible:

+0.02% on stdhd
Encoding time is seen to reduce by 2~3%.

We can use one frame context for each layer so that we don't have
to reset the probs every frame. But we can't use prev_mi since we
may drop enhancement layers. So we have to generate a non vp9
compatible bitstream and modify it in the player.
1. We need to code all frames as invisible frame to let prev_mi
not to be used. But in the bitstream we need to code the
show_frame flag to 1 so that the publisher will know it's
supposed to be a visible frame.
2. In the player we need to change the show_frame flag to 0 for
all frames. Then add an one byte frame into the super frame
to tell the decoder which layer we want to show.
