Enable recursive partition information coding from SB64X64 down to
MB16X16. The bit-stream syntax is now supporting rectangular block
sizes. It starts from SB64X64 and recursively describes the partition
type of the current block. If the partition type is PARTITION_NONE,
the block is coded as a single unit; if it is PARTITION_HORZ or
PARTITION_VERT, the block is segmented into two independently coded
rectangular units, with no further partition needed; otherwise, the
block is segmented into 4 square blocks. i.e., PARTITION_SPLIT case,
each can be potentially further partitioned.
Forward adaptive probability modeling is used for the partition
information coding, conditioned on the current block size.

This is work-in-progress, it implements multiple ARF
encoding behind an experimental flag.
It adds the ability to insert multiple ARF frames into a
single ARF group. This patch implements the reordering
of the coded frames, and implements a fixed-length coding
pattern. It applies a fixed quantizer strategy based on
where the frame is in the coding sequence.
Further work to modify the rate control strategy is
ongoing and will be submitted via a set of future patches.
In this first step, each ARF group is recursively
bisected and an ARF frame added at that position in the
sequence. The recursion continues until ARF frames are
within MIN_GF_INTERVAL frames.
The code sits behind the "multiple-arf" experimental
flag ("CONFIG_MULTIPLE_ARF"). The experimental flag
"oneshotq" ("CONFIG_ONESHOTQ") also needs to be enabled
for this patch to work correctly.

Clamp only the motion vectors inferred from neighboring reference
macroblocks. The motion vectors obtained through motion search in
NEWMV mode are constrained during the search process, which allows
a relatively larger referencing region than the inferred mvs.
Hence further clamping the best mv provided by the motion search may
affect the efficacy of NEWMV mode.
Synchronized the decoding process. The decoded mvs in NEWMV modes
should be guaranteed to fit in the effective range. Put a mv range
clamping function there for security purpose.
This improves the coding performance of high motion sequences, e.g.,
derf set:
foreman 0.233%

mother_daughter 0.337%

The patch adds the flexibility to use standard EOB based coding
on smaller block sizes and nzc based coding on larger blocksizes.
The tx-sizes that use nzc based coding and those that use EOB based
coding are controlled by a function get_nzc_used().
By default, this function uses nzc based coding for 16x16 and 32x32
transform blocks, which seem to bridge the performance gap
substantially.
All sets are now lower by 0.5% to 0.7%, as opposed to ~1.8% before.

Adds an experiment to use a weighted prediction of two INTER
predictors, where the weight is one of (1/4, 3/4), (3/8, 5/8),
(1/2, 1/2), (5/8, 3/8) or (3/4, 1/4), and is chosen implicitly
based on consistency of the predictors to the already
reconstructed pixels to the top and left of the current macroblock
or superblock.
Currently the weighting is not applied to SPLITMV modes, which
default to the usual (1/2, 1/2) weighting. However the code is in
place controlled by a macro. The same weighting is used for Y and
UV components, where the weight is derived from analyzing the Y
component only.
Results (over compound inter-intra experiment)
derf: +0.18%
yt: +0.34%
hd: +0.49%
stdhd: +0.23%
The experiment suggests bigger benefit for explicitly signaled weights.

Now that the first AC coefficient in both directions use the same DC
as their context, there no longer is a purpose in letting both have
their own band. Merging these two bands allows us to split bands for
some of the very high-frequency AC bands.
In addition, I'm redoing the banding for the 1D-ADST col/row scans. I
don't think the old banding made any sense at all (it merged the last
coefficient of the first row/col in the same band as the first two of
the second row/col), which was clearly an oversight from the band being
applied in scan-order (rather than in their actual position). Now,
coefficients at the same position will be in the same band, regardless
what scan order is used. I think this makes most sense for the purpose
of banding, which is basically "predict energy for this coefficient
depending on the energy of context coefficients" (i.e. pt).
After full re-training, together with previous patch, derf gains about
1.2-1.3%, and hd/stdhd gain about 0.9-1.0%.
Change-Id: I7a0cc12ba724e88b278034113cb4adaaebf87e0c
Pearson correlation for above or left is significantly higher than for
previous-in-scan-order (absolute values depend on position in scan, but
in general, we gain about 0.1-0.2 by using either above or left; using
both basically just makes this even better). For eob branch skipping,
we continue to use the previous token in scan order.
This helps about 0.9% on derf after re-training on a limited data set.
Full re-training and results on larger-resolution clips are pending.
Note that this commit breaks trellis, so we can probably get further
gains out of it by fixing trellis at some later point.

Adds a per-frame, strength adjustable, in loop deringing filter. Uses
the existing vp9_post_proc_down_and_across 5 tap thresholded blur
code, with a brute force search for the threshold.
Results almost strictly positive on the YT HD set, either having no
effect or helping PSNR in the range of 1-3% (overall average 0.8%).
Results more mixed for the CIF set, (-0.5 min, 1.4 max, 0.1 avg).
This has an almost strictly negative impact to SSIM, so examining a
different filter or a more balanced search heuristic is in order.
Other test set results pending.

Replaces the default tables for single coefficient magnitudes with
those obtained from an appropriate distribution. The EOB node
is left unchanged. The model is represeted as a 256-size codebook
where the index corresponds to the probability of the Zero or the
One node. Two variations are implemented corresponding to whether
the Zero node or the One-node is used as the peg. The main advantage
is that the default prob tables will become considerably smaller and
manageable. Besides there is substantially less risk of over-fitting
for a training set.
Various distributions are tried and the one that gives the best
results is the family of Generalized Gaussian distributions with
shape parameter 0.75. The results are within about 0.2% of fully
trained tables for the Zero peg variant, and within 0.1% of the
One peg variant.
The forward updates are optionally (controlled by a macro)
model-based, i.e. restricted to only convey probabilities from the
codebook. Backward updates can also be optionally (controlled by
another macro) model-based, but is turned off by default. Currently
model-based forward updates work about the same as unconstrained
updates, but there is a drop in performance with backward-updates
being model based.
The model based approach also allows the probabilities for the key
frames to be adjusted from the defaults based on the base_qindex of
the frame. Currently the adjustment function is a placeholder that
adjusts the prob of EOB and Zero node from the nominal one at higher
quality (lower qindex) or lower quality (higher qindex) ends of the
range. The rest of the probabilities are then derived based on the
model from the adjusted prob of zero.
