Ensure that all inter prediction goes through a common code path
that takes scaling into account. Removes a bunch of duplicate
1st/2nd predictor code. Also introduces a 16x8 mode for 8x8
MVs, similar to the 8x4 trick we were doing before. This has an
unexpected effect with EIGHTTAP_SMOOTH, so it's disabled in that
case for now.

Replace as_mv.{first, second} with a two element array, so that they
can easily be processed with an index variable.

Update the code to call the new convolution functions to do subpixel
prediction rather than the existing functions. Remove the old C and
assembly code, since it is unused. This causes a 50% performance
reduction on the decoder, but that will be resolved when the asm for
the new functions is available.
There is no consensus for whether 6-tap or 2-tap predictors will be
supported in the final codec, so these filters are implemented in
terms of the 8-tap code, so that quality testing of these modes
can continue. Implementing the lower complexity algorithms is a
simple exercise, should it be necessary.
This code produces slightly better results in the EIGHTTAP_SMOOTH
case, since the filter is now applied in only one direction when
the subpel motion is only in one direction. Like the previous code,
the filtering is skipped entirely on full-pel MVs. This combination
seems to give the best quality gains, but this may be indicative of a
bug in the encoder's filter selection, since the encoder could
achieve the result of skipping the filtering on full-pel by selecting
one of the other filters. This should be revisited.
Quality gains on derf positive on almost all clips. The only clip
that seemed to be hurt at all datarates was football
(-0.115% PSNR average, -0.587% min). Overall averages 0.375% PSNR,
0.347% SSIM.

This patch removes the old pred-filter experiment and replaces it
with one that is implemented using the switchable filter framework.
If the pred-filter experiment is enabled, three interopolation
filters are tested during mode selection; the standard 8-tap
interpolation filter, a sharp 8-tap filter and a (new) 8-tap
smoothing filter.
The 6-tap filter code has been preserved for now and if the
enable-6tap experiment is enabled (in addition to the pred-filter
experiment) the original 6-tap filter replaces the new 8-tap smooth
filter in the switchable mode.
The new experiment applies the prediction filter in cases of a
fractional-pel motion vector. Future patches will apply the filter
where the mv is pel-aligned and also to intra predicted blocks.

Various fixups to resolve issues when building vp9-preview under the more stringent

For coefficients, use int16_t (instead of short); for pixel values in
16-bit intermediates, use uint16_t (instead of unsigned short); for all
others, use uint8_t (instead of unsigned char).

Add a function clip_pixel() to clip a pixel value to the [0,255] range
of allowed values, and use this where-ever appropriate (e.g. prediction,
reconstruction). Likewise, consistently use the recently added function
clip_prob(), which calculates a binary probability in the [1,255] range.
If possible, try to use get_prob() or its sister get_binary_prob() to
calculate binary probabilities, for consistency.
Since in some places, this means that binary probability calculations
are changed (we use {255,256}*count0/(total) in a range of places,
and all of these are now changed to use 256*count0+(total>>1)/total),
this changes the encoding result, so this patch warrants some extensive
testing.

Adds support for compound inter-intra prediction with superblocks.
Also, fixes a bug that disabled intra modes for superblocks.

Support for gyp which doesn't support multiple objects in the same
static library having the same basename.
