It is discovered that in rare situations the 2nd order block may
produce a few small magnitude coefficients that has no effect on
reconstruction. The situations are a combination of low quantizer
values (high quality) and low energy in residual signals (content
dependent). This commit added code to detect such cases and reset
the 2nd order block to all 0.
Patch 1 to 4 used code to do all-zero-check on idct result buffer,
and tests on derf set showed a consistent gain of .12%-.14% on all
metrics.But due to a recent change Ie31d90b, the idct result buffer
is not longer populated. So patch 5&6 use an alternative method to
detect the situations. Tests on derf set now shows a consistent
quality gain of .16%-.20%.
As suggested by Jim, Patch 7&8 removed the condition of all first
order block not having any coefficient, instead we reset 2nd order
coefficients to all 0 if sum of absolute value of the coefficients
is small. So it does slightly more than just detecting the oddity
as discussed above, but tests on derf set now show a consistent
gain of .20%-.23% on all metrics.
It is worth noting here that this change does not have any effect
on mid/high quantizer range, it only affects the quantizer value
18 or blow. Within this range, the change helps compression by up
to 2.5% on clips in the derf set.

Tests showed ~1.2% performance boost on the HD clip used.
Performance will vary based on material.

Interleaved vp8_find_near_mvs and vp8_mv_ref_probs.
2.5% to 4% performance improvement for the HD clips used.

The partial frame copy function used to copy an extra 8 lines above
and below. The partial frame filtering can only modify 3 pixel rows
above the partial frame. Reduce copy to bare minimum needed, which is
4 lines, so that partial filtering on copied frame is possible.
Define the "magic" fraction number for partial filtering in
loopfilter.h .

Decode the mv mode with if-then-elses instead of traversing
the vp8_mv_ref_tree data structure. This will make it
easier to interleave vp8_find_near_mvs and vp8_mv_ref_probs.

check to make sure that cx_data buffer has enough room before
writting to it, prior behavior did not which could result in a crash.

During the _pick only the Y plane is examined. In addition, data beyond
the borders of the frame is not read.

Instead of using the predict buffer, the decoder now writes
the predictor into the recon buffer. For blocks with eob=0,
unnecessary idcts can be eliminated. This gave a performance
boost of ~1.8% for the HD clips used.
Tero: Added needed changes to ARM side and scheduled some
assembly code to prevent interlocks.
Patch Set 6: Merged (I1bcdca7a95aacc3a181b9faa6b10e3a71ee24df3)
into this commit because of similarities in the idct
functions.
Patch Set 7: EC bug fix.

NEON version of copyframeyonly, extendframeborders, copy_frame_func were

It was crashing when number of partitions was bigger than the number
of MB rows (ex. 128x96 with 8 partitions).
Start point was not checked against mb_rows, plus extra
"empty" partitions were not written out.

Added the ability to create rate-targeted, temporally
scalable, VP8 compatible bitstreams.
The application vp8_scalable_patterns.c demonstrates how
to use this capability. Users can create output bitstreams
containing upto 5 temporally separable streams encoded
as a single VP8 bitstream.
