error_per_bit and sad_per_bit were designed as estimates of a bit worth
of sum squared error and sum absolute difference respectively. Under
this assumption, error_per_bit should be used in combination with 2nd
order errors (variance or sum squared error) while sad_per_bit should
be used in combination with 1st order SADs in motion estimation. There
were a few places where sad_per_bit has been misused with variances,
this commit changes to use error_per_bit for those places, also changes
parameter names to properly indicate which constant is being used.
On cif set, the change has a universal gain by all metrics: 0.13% by
average/overall psnr and 0.1% by ssim.

While profile=3, there is no sub-pixel search. Distortion and SSE
have to calculated using get_inter_mbpred_error().

Declared the bmi in MODE_INFO as a union instead of B_MODE_INFO.
This reduced the memory footprint by 518,400 bytes for 1080
resolutions. The decoder performance improved by ~4% for the
clip used and the encoder showed very small improvements. (0.5%)
This reduction was first mentioned to me by John K. and in a
later discussion by Yaowu.
This is WIP.

fixed a bug where active_worst_quality could be set
below active_best_quality which could result in an
infinite loop.

This patch collects the twopass specific memebers of VP8_COMP into a
dedicated struct. This is a first step towards isolating the two pass
rate control and aids readability by decorating these variables with
the 'twopass.' namespace. This makes it clear to the reader in what
contexts the variable will be valid, and is a hint that a section of
code might be a good candidate to move to firstpass.c in later
refactoring. There likely will be other rate control modes that need
their own specific data as well.
This notation is probably overly verbose in firstpass.c, so an
alternative would be to access this struct through a pointer like
'rc->' instead of 'cpi->firstpass.' in that file. Feel free to make
a review comment to that effect if you prefer.

The partition_info struct contains info just for SPLITMV,
so it should be used instead of BLOCKD. Eventually, I want
to reduce the size of B_MODE_INFO struct found in BLOCKD, so
this is the first step toward that goal.
Also, since SPLITMV is not supported in vp8_pick_inter_mode(),
the unnecessary mem copies and checks were removed. For rt
encodes, this gave a slight performance improvement.

The error-concealer is plugged in after any motion vectors have been
decoded. It tries to estimate any missing motion vectors from the
motion vectors of the previous frame. Intra blocks with missing
residual are replaced with inter blocks with estimated motion vectors.
This feature was developed in a separate sandbox
(sandbox/holmer/error-concealment).

This commit restructures the mb activity masking code
to better facilitate experimentation using different metrics
etc. and also allows for adjustment of the zero bin either
for encode only or both the encode and mode selection
stages
It also uses information from the current frame rather than
the previous frame and the default strength has been
reduced.

This patch improves the accuracy of frame rate estimation by using a
larger, 1 second window. It also more quickly adapts to step changes
in the input frame rate (ie 30fps to 15fps)

The compiler produces better assembly when using int_mv
for assignments. The compiler shifts and ors the two 16bit
values when assigning MV.
