Cleans up the experiment. Actually uses reduced counts for backward
updates, and reduced number of probabilities in the context.
No change in bitstream when the experiment is on.
Between expt on and off:
derfraw300 is down only -0.062% (which is better than when expts
were run previously).

This patch eliminates the intermediate diff buffer usage by
combining the short idct and the add residual into one function.
The encoder can use the same code as well.

The recursive partition type search is enabled down to 4x4, 4x8 and
8x4, followed by the corresponding rate-distortion optimization for
the per-partition encoding mode decisions.
The bit-stream writing/reading synchronized in supporting the
rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
This provides above 1% coding performance gains on derf.
To do next:
1. re-design the rate-distortion loop for inter prediction below 8x8.
2. re-design the rate-distortion loop for intra prediction below 4x4.
3. make the loop-filter aware of rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
4. clean the unused probability models.
5. update default probability values.

Replace vp9_kf_default_bmode_counts structure with
direct default probabilities. The probability structure is
smaller and it removes the need to specify in the bitstream
how to convert the counts to probabilities.
Note that I have concerns still about the size and value of
the large intra mode context. This may cause problems for
HW but it also means we rely heavily on reverse update as
forwards update of a structure this size is problematic. I
intend to review this more generally in the next few days to
see if we can come up with a competitive solution that does
not rely on such a large context.

This is a mostly-working implementation of an extra channel in the
bitstream. Configure with --enable-alpha to test. Notable TODOs:
- Add extra channel to all mismatch tests, PSNR, SSIM, etc
- Configurable subsampling
- Variable number of planes (currently always uses all 4)
- Loop filtering
- Per-plane lossless quantizer
- ARNR support
This implementation just uses the same contents as the Y channel
for the A channel, due to lack of content and general pain in
playing back 4 channel content. A later patch will use the actual
alpha channel passed in from outside the codec.

Test on cif set showed small but consistent compression gain for
almost all encodings with overall impact of .08%. The gains average
aournd .12% combined with D63 adst change.
Test encoding on std-hd set is ongoing..

These building blocks enable rate-distortion optimization search
over block sizes of 8x4 and 4x8. Need to convert them into mmx/sse
forms.

This patch creates a new inter mode contest that avoids
a dependence on the reconstructed motion vectors from
neighboring blocks. This was a change requested by
a hardware vendor to improve decode performance.
As part of this change I have also made some modifications
to stats output code (under a flag) to allow accumulation of
inter mode context flags over multiple clips
Some further changes will be required to accommodate the
deprecation of the split mv mode over the next few days.
Performance as stands is around -0.25% on derf and
std-hd but up on the YT and YT-HD sets. With further tuning
or some adjustment to the context criteria it should be
possible to make this change broadly neutral.

This commit allows the rate-distortion optimization recursion
at encoder to go down to 4x4 block size. It deprecates the use
of I4X4_PRED and SPLITMV syntax elements from bit-stream
writing/reading. Will remove the unused probability models in
the next patch.
The partition type search and bit-stream are now capable of
supporting the rectangular partition of 8x8 block, i.e., 8x4
and 4x8. Need to revise the rate-distortion parts to get these
two partition tested in the rd loop.

Change band calculation back to simpler model based
on the order in which coefficients are coded in scan order
not the absolute coefficient positions.
With the scatter scan experiment enabled the results were
appear broadly neutral on derf (-0.028) but up a little on std-hd +0.134).
Without the scatterscan experiment on the results were up derf as well.
