High Q end extended a little.
Some clean up.
Slightly better on SSIM, Slightly worse on PSNR over derf set.
Change-Id: I3dceea8a39e11c26e1a389a40e40b86efc76d28c
Added code to support 256 index steps instead of 128 but disabled for now.
Replace hard wired table vp8cx_base_skip_false_prob[128]
Observed Qindex problem with setting minimum loop filter value.
(Experiment code using real Q in place but for now just returning 0. This has a big
beneficial effect on some clips, particularly waterfall which shows 5% ssim gain)
Change-Id: I2f7117de8adc1797164c106aa13effc900a1467e
Fixed some further QIndex related issues and replaced some tables
(eg zbin and rounding)
Also Added function (currently disabled by default) to populate the
main AC and DC quantizer tables. Using the original AC range the
resulting computed DC values give behavior broadly comparable
on the DERF set. That is not to say that the equations will hold good
over a more extended range. The purpose of this code is to make it
easier to experiment with further alterations to the Q range and distribution
of Q values plus the relative weights given to AC and DC.
The function find_fp_qindex() ensures that changes to the Q tables
are reflected in the value passed in to the first pass code.
Slight experimental adjustment to static segment Q offset.

Fixed bug in firspass.c call to vp8_initialize_rd_consts()
This was passing in vp8_dc_quant(cm->base_qindex, cm->y1dc_delta_q)
instead of (cm->base_qindex + cm->y1dc_delta_q).
It just so happens that for the value 26 used for cm->base_qindex in the
unextended Q case, the two give similar results. However, when using
the extended Q range the two are very different.
Also added more stats output and partly disabled another broken feature.
Change-Id: Iddf6cf5ea8467c44b7c133f38e629f6ba6f2581e
Corrected dc lookup table to maintain ac/dc balance
close to what it was previously.
Firstpass not being passed the adjusted Q index for
the extended range.

Prior to this change, VP8 min quantizer is 4, which caps the
highest quality around 51DB. This experimental change extends
the min quantizer to 1, removes the cap and allows the highest
quality to be around ~73DB, consistent with the fdct/idct round trip
error. To test this change, at configure time use options:
--enable-experimental --enable-extend_qrange
The following is a brief log of changes in each of the patch sets
patch set 1:
In this commit, the quantization/dequantization constants are kept
unchanged, instead scaling factor 4 is rolled into fdct/idct.
Fixed Q0 encoding tests on mobile:
Before: 9560.567kbps Overall PSNR:50.255DB VPXSSIM:98.288
Now: 18035.774kbps Overall PSNR:73.022DB VPXSSIM:99.991
patch set 2:
regenerated dc/ac quantizer lookup tables based on the scaling
factor rolled in the fdct/idct. Also slightly extended the range
towards the high quantizer end.
patch set 3:
slightly tweaked the quantizer tables and generated bits_per_mb
table based on Paul's suggestions.
patch set 4:
fix a typo in idct, re-calculated tables relating active max Q
to active min Q
patch set 5:
added rdmult lookup table based on Q
patch set 6:
fix rdmult scale: dct coefficient has scaled up by 4
patch set 7:
make transform coefficients to be within 16bits
patch set 8:
normalize 2nd order quantizers
patch set 9:
fix mis-spellings
patch set 10:
change the configure script and macros to allow experimental code
to be enabled at configure time with --enable-extend_qrange
patch set 11:
rebase for merge
Change-Id: Ib50641ddd44aba2a52ed890222c309faa31cc59c
Changes 'The VP8 project' to 'The WebM project', for consistency
with other webmproject.org repositories.
Fixes issue #97.

When the license headers were updated, they accidentally contained
trailing whitespace, so unfortunately we have to touch all the files
again.
