This patch sets up a quad_tree structure (pc_tree) for holding all of
pick_mode_context data we use at any square block size during encoding
or picking modes. That includes contexts for 2 horizontal and 2 vertical
splits, one none, and pointers to 4 sub pc_tree nodes corresponding
to split. It also includes a pointer to the current chosen partitioning.
This replaces code that held an index for every level in the pick
modes array including: sb_index, mb_index,
b_index, ab_index.
These were used as stateful indexes that pointed to the current pick mode
contexts you had at each level stored in the following arrays
array ab4x4_context[][][],
sb8x4_context[][][], sb4x8_context[][][], sb8x8_context[][][],
sb8x16_context[][][], sb16x8_context[][][], mb_context[][], sb32x16[][],
sb16x32[], sb32_context[], sb32x64_context[], sb64x32_context[],
sb64_context
and the partitioning that had been stored in the following:
b_partitioning, mb_partitioning, sb_partitioning, and sb64_partitioning.
Prior to this patch before doing an encode you had to set the appropriate
index for your block size ( switch statement), update it ( up to 3
lookups for the index array value) and then make your call into a recursive
function at which point you'd have to call get_context which then
had to do a switch statement based on the blocksize, and then up to 3
lookups based upon the block size to find the context to use.
With the new code the context for the block size is passed around directly
avoiding the extraneous switch statements and multi dimensional array
look ups that were listed above. At any level in the search all of the
contexts are local to the pc_tree you are working on (in?).
In addition in most places code that used to call sub functions and
then check if the block size was 4x4 and index was > 0 and return
now don't preferring instead to call the right none function on the inside.

We don't use declarations from this file. The real declarations
(differently named) are in vp9_rtcd_defs.pl, e.g. vp9_full_search_sad.

2 functions were optimized for avx2 by using full 256 bit register
In order to handle 32 elements in parallel instead of only 16 in parallel:
1. vp9_sad32x32x4d
2. vp9_sad64x64x4d
The function level gain is 66% and the user level gain is ~1%.

Removing all copies of identical vp8_mse2psnr/vp9_mse2psnr functions.
Using vpx_sse_to_psnr() instead in all places.

Optimizing 2 functions to process 32 elements in parallel instead of 16:
1. vp9_sub_pixel_variance64x64
2. vp9_sub_pixel_variance32x32
both of those function were calling vp9_sub_pixel_variance16xh_ssse3
instead of calling that function, it calls vp9_sub_pixel_variance32xh_avx2
that is written in avx2 and process 32 elements in parallel.
This Optimization gave 70% function level gain and 2% user level gain

CONFIG_USE_X86INC is available to every makefile, there's no need to

Adds an arbitrary-size resize library for use in scaling of input
frames in a non-normative manner in the vp9 encoder. The method
used is as follows:
Downsampling - Uses a 8 tap filter for factor of 2 decimation upto
a size just higher than the desired size. Then interpolates pixels
at a precision of 1/32 pel using a set of 8-tap filters.
Upsampling - Interpolates pixels at a precision of 1/32 pel using
a set of 8-tap filters.
There is no assembly optimization yet.

This commit setups a test framework for real-time coding. It enables

Optimizing the variance functions: vp9_variance16x16, vp9_variance32x32,
vp9_variance64x64, vp9_variance32x16, vp9_variance64x32,
vp9_mse16x16 by migrating to AVX2
some of the functions were optimized by processing 32 elements instead of 16.
some of the functions were optimized by processing 2 loop strides of 16
elements in a single 256 bit register
This optimization gives between 2.4% - 2.7% user level performance gain
and 42% function level gain.

This should be similar to what x264 does with --aq-mode 1.
It works well with clips like parkjoy and touhou
(http://x264.nl/developers/Dark_Shikari/LosslessTouhou.mkv).
At low bitrates, the segmentation signaling overhead may negate the
benefits of this feature.
(PGW) Default changed to feature OFF to allow provisional merge.

This is in preparation for the SSE2 version of the high-precision
32x32 forward DCT which will share a lot of code with the existing
low precision version used for rate-distortion search.

Support enabling it or disabling it. Moved read out to configure.sh
so that its done once instead of in make and in config.

Total encoding time for first 50 frames of bus (speed 0) @ 1500kbps
goes 2min34.8 to 2min14.4, i.e. a 10.4% overall speedup. The code is
x86-64 only, it needs some minor modifications to be 32bit compatible,
because it uses 15 xmm registers, whereas 32bit only has 8.

Change vp9_block_error() to return a 64bit error variable, change all
callers to expect a 64bit return value (this will prevent overflows,
which we basically don't check for at all right now). Remove duplicate
block_error() function, which fixed that through truncation. Remove
old (incompatible) mmx/sse2 block_error SIMD versions and replace with
a new one that returns a 64bit value.
Encoding time of first 50 frames of bus @ 1500kbps goes from 3min29 to
3min23, i.e. a 3% overall speedup.

This seems to only be used in the encoder. Also remove an empty wrapper
file that contained forward declarations for this function, but didn't
actually define any actual functions.
