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)

This is to reflect the RD improvement in the encoder. The change has a
small positive impact on quality (0.25% by VPXSSIM and 0.05% by PSNR)

The variable is introduced in commit 2e53e9e53 to make more use of
trellis quantization, but this is no longer necessary after RDMULT
was made adaptive in a number of later commits.

In NEWMV mode, currently, full search is used as the refining search
after n-step search. By replacing it with an iterative diamond search
of radius 1 largely reduced the computation complexity, but still
maintained the same encoding quality since the refining search is
done for every macroblock instead of only a small precentage of
macroblocks while using full search.
Tests on the test set showed a 3.4% encoding speed increase with none
psnr & ssim loss.

Paul pointed out that the pointer to the gf_active_flags is not being
properly incremented in multithreaded encoder. This commit fixes the
issue by making sure the gf_active_ptr points to the starting of next
group of mb rows.

The existing emulation of posix semaphores on Windows uses SetEvent()
and WaitForSingleObject(), which implements a binary semaphore, not a
counting semaphore as implemented by posix. This causes deadlock when
used with the expected posix semantics. Instead, this patch uses the
CreateSemaphore() and ReleaseSemaphore() calls (introduced in Windows
2000) which have the expected behavior.
This patch also reverts commit eb16f00, which split a semaphore that
was being used with counting semantics into two binary semaphores.
That commit is unnecessary with corrected emulation.

Changed 8-neighbor searching to 4-neighour searching, and continued
searching until the center point is the best match.
Test on test set showed 1.3% encoding speed improvement as well as
0.1% PSNR and SSIM improvement at speed=-5 (rt mode).
Will continue to improve it.

Allow more reliable detection of truncated bitstreams by being more
precise with the count of "virtual" bits in the value buffer.
Specifically, the VP8_LOTS_OF_BITS value is accumulated into count,
rather than being assigned, which was losing the prior value,
increasing the required tolerance when testing for the error condition.
