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.

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

The dc_diff flag is used to skip loopfiltering. Instead
of setting this flag in the decoder/encoder, we now check
for this condition in the loopfilter.

Passed SSE from sub-pixel search back to pick_inter_mode
function, which is compared with the encode_breakout to
see if we could skip evaluating the remaining modes.

In vp8_pick_inter_mode(), for NEWMV mode, use the error result got
from motion search as distortion. This helps performance in real-
time mode.

Index i is used to detect early breakout from the first loop, but
its value is lost due to reuse in the second for loop. I moved
the position of the second loop and did some format cleanup.

Previous to commit de4e9e3, there was an early return in the alt-ref
case that was inadvertantly removed when the function was refactored
to return void. This patch restores the prior behavior.

The error accumulator stats values cpi->prediction_error and
cpi->intra_error were being populated with rd values not
distortion values.
These are only "currently" used in a limited way for RT compress
key frame detection.

MV sad cost error is only used in full-pixel motion search,
which only need full-pixel resolution instead of quarter-pixel
resolution. This change reduced mvsadcost table size, and
removed unneccessary pamameter passing since this table is
constant once it is generated.

The vp8_build_intra_predictors_mby and vp8_build_intra_predictors_mby_s
functions had global function pointers rather than using the RTCD
framework. This can show up as a potential data race with tools such as
helgrind. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640935
for an example.

As mentioned in check-in "Improve motion search in real-time mode",
MV prediction calculation causes speed loss for speed 7 and above.
This change added a flag to turn off this calculation for speed>6
in real-time mode.

Applied better MV prediction in real-time mode, which improves
the encoding quality.
Used quarter-pixel search instead of iterative sub-pixel search
for speed >=5 to improve encoding performance.
Tests on the test set showed:
1. For speed=-5, quality improvement: 1.7% on AvgPSNR and 2.1%
on SSIM, performance improvement: 3.6% (This counts in the
performance lose caused by MV prediction calculation in "Improve
MV prediction in vp8_pick_inter_mode() for speed>3").
2. For speed=-8, quality improvement: 2.1% on AvgPSNR and 2.5%
on SSIM. but, 6.9% performance decrease because of MV prediction
calculation. This should be improved later.

Previously when a frame was being overlaid on a previously coded
alt ref frame we only checked the alt ref 0,0 mode. Where there is
a possibility that the alt ref buffer is a filtered frame we should allow
the other prediction modes as normal or at the least allow use of
the last frame buffer.

Add vp8_mv_pred() to better predict starting MV for NEWMV
mode in vp8_rd_pick_inter_mode(). Set different search
ranges according to MV prediction accuracy, which improves
encoder performance without hurting the quality. Also,
as Yaowu suggested, using diamond search result as full
search starting point and therefore adjusting(reducing)
full search range helps the performance.

NEON has optimized 16x16 half-pixel variance functions, but they
were not part of the RTCD framework. Add these functions to RTCD,
so that other platforms can make use of this optimization in the
future and special-case ARM code can be removed.
A number of functions were taking two variance functions as
parameters. These functions were changed to take a single
parameter, a pointer to a struct containing all the variance
functions for that block size. This provides additional flexibility
for calling additional variance functions (the half-pixel special
case, for example) and by initializing the table for all block sizes,
we don't have to construct this function pointer table for each
macroblock.

These functions should never change their input, and there's no
reason not to declare that.
This allows them to be passed static const data.

Moved partition_bmi and partition_count out of MB_MODE_INFO and
placed into MACROBLOCK. Also reduced the size of other members
of the MB_MODE_INFO struct. For 1080p, the memory was reduced
by 1,209,516 bytes. The decoder performance appeared to improve
by 3% for the clip used.
Note: The main goal for this change is to improve the decoder
performance. The encoder will be revisited at a later date for
further structure cleanup.

The main reason for the change was to reduce cycles in the token
decoder. (~1.5% gain for 32 bit) This layout should be more
cache friendly.
As a result of this change, the encoder had to be updated.

Note: dixie uses a similar layout
These copies occurred for each macroblock in the encoder and decoder.
Thetemp MB_MODE_INFO mbmi was removed from MACROBLOCKD. As a result,
a large number compile errors had to be fixed.

At the end of the decode, frame buffers were being copied.
The frames are not updated after the copy, they are just
for reference on later frames. This change allows multiple
references to the same frame buffer instead of copying it.
Changes needed to be made to the encoder to handle this. The
encoder is still doing frame buffer copies in similar places
where pointer reference could be done.
