The first 240 coeff positions (15 top-left blocks) are scanned in the
same order as in scatter scan, after that the coeffs are scanned in
"block bands", each band at a time, all coeffs in one band before
moving on to the next band. This brings down the amount of 4x4 coeff
blocks that need to be buffered while scanning, from 15 blocks to 8 blocks.

This patch removes the implicit segmentation
experiment from the code base as the benefits
were still unproven as of the bitstream deadline.

Added two flags to the frame header:
intra_only:
Signals that the frame is encoded using only INTRA
coding modes.
reset_frame_context:
Indicates that the coding context specified
in the frame header should be reset to default values before the
frame is encoded/decoded.

This patch changes the coefficient tree to move the EOB to below
the ZERO node in order to save number of bool decodes.
The advantages of moving EOB one step down as opposed to two steps down
in the other parallel patch are: 1. The coef modeling based on
the One-node becomes independent of the tree structure above it, and
2. Fewer conext/counter increases are needed.
The drawback is that the potential savings in bool decodes will be
less, but assuming that 0s are much more predominant than 1's the
potential savings is still likely to be substantial.
Results on derf300: -0.237%

This patch checks at the frame level to see if the previous
mode info context can be used. This patch eliminates the
flag check that was done for every mode and removes another
check that was done prior to every vp9_find_mv_refs().

Proposal for tuning the residual coding by changing how the context
from previous tokens is calculated. Storing the energy class of previous
tokens instead of the token itself eases the critical path of
HW implementations.

Adding API to read/write uncompressed frame header bits (it is not final
yet). Separate functions to read/write uncompressed header. Moving
clr_type, error_resilient_mode, refresh_frame_context,
frame_parallel_decoding_mode, frame_context_idx from compressed partition
to uncompressed frame header.

Removed one 4x4 prediction step that was unnessary in the rd loop.
Removed a unused modecosts estimate from encoder side.

1. remove prediction mode conversion
2. unified bmode, same for key and non-key frame
3. set I4X4_PRED count for pdf to 0, as I4X4_PRED is no longer
coded ever. It is determined by ref_frame and block partition

This commit removes the use of bmi_ in the first-pass encoding by
forcing encode_intra4x4block_ to use DC_PRED, followed by DCT_DCT
only, as John suggested. This makes the need for bmi buffer only
up to 4 entries, instead of 16.

Also do per-partition motion vector referencing in <sb8x8 partitions,
and adjust mvref finding for sub8x8 partitions.

The changing in intra coding to base on transform block, i.e. pred->
txfm->quant->dequant-itxfm->recon, made all blocks within a prediction
unit behave consistently, there is no longer a need to handle blocks
differently based on the position within a predicitn block. So this
commit simplifies the decision of transform type to be based on
prediction mode only.

Move 4x4/4x8/8x4 partition coding out of experimental list.
This commit fixed the unit test failure issues. It also resolved
the merge conflicts between 4x4 block level partition and iterative
motion search for comp_inter_inter.

Reverts to using 128 bit LUT for the coef models rather than 48
to ease hardware implementation.
Also incorporates some cleanups including removing various
hooks to support different lookup tables based on block_type and
ref_type.

This commit changed the encoding and decoding of intra blocks to be
based on transform block. In each prediction block, the intra coding
iterates thorough each transform block based on raster scan order.
This commit also fixed a bug in D135 prediction code.
TODO next:
The RD mode/txfm_size selection should take this into account when
computing RD values.

This commit allows the rate-distortion optimization of intra coding
capable of supporting 8x4 and 4x8 partition settings.
It enables the entropy coding of intra modes in key frame using a
unified contextual probability model conditioned on its above/left
prediction modes.
Coding performance:
derf 0.464%

The API is not final yet and can be changed. Actual layout of
uncompressed frame part will be finalized later. Right now moving
clr_type, error_resilient_mode, refresh_frame_context,
frame_parallel_decoding_mode from first compressed partition to
uncompressed frame part.

Uses more aggrerssive interpolation to reduce storage for the
model tables by almost more than half. Only 48 lists of probs are
stored (as opposed to 128 before), corresponding to ONE_NODE
probabilities of:
1,
3, 7, 11, ..., 115, 119,
127, 135, ..., 247, 255.
Besides, only 1 table is used as opposed to 2 before. So the overall
memory needed for the tables is just 48 * 8 = 384 bytes.
The table currently used is based on a new Pareto distribution with
heavier tail than a generalized Gaussian - which improves results on
derf by about 0.1% over a single table Generaized Gaussian.
Results overall on derfraw300 is -0.14%.
