Using 4 threads, frame parallel decode is ~3x faster than single thread
decode and around 30% faster than tile parallel decode for frame parallel
encoded video on both Android and desktop with 4 threads. Decode speed is
scalable to threads too which means decode could be even faster with more threads.

There are two CreateDecoder functions and decode_test_driver is not
calling the right function now. This bug is discovered during really
enable the frame parallel flag inside libvpx. This bug does not affect
any existing unit test though.

Make sure VP9 frame-parallel decode passes all the standard
test vectors. Only test running with 2,3,4 threads now.
Also refactor the video decode test driver to support passing
in decode flags which is used to enable frame-parallel decode.

The original implementation only allocates one segmentation map and this
works fine for serial decode. But for frame parallel decode, each thread
need to have its own segmentation map and the last frame segmentation map
should be provided from last frame decoding thread.
After finishing decoding a frame, thread need to serve the old segmentation
map that associate with the previous decoded frame. The thread also need to
use another segmentation map for decoding the current frame.

pthread.h is not supported in windows. vp9_thread.h includes
the emulation layer for pthread in windows.

Prepare for frame parallel decoding, the reference count buffers
need to be protected by mutex. Move vp9_thread.* to common
folder so that those buffers could use cross-platform mutex
from vp9_thread.*.

The relationship of the user private data at runtime
is not preserved from decode() to this call which may
occur at an unknown point in the future

Prepare for frame parallel decoding, the frame buffers must be
separated from the encoder and decoder structure, while the encoder
and decoder will hold the pointer of the BufferPool.

Adapt the use of segmentation in AQ mode 2 based on
the ambient kf/arf/gf Q.
Disable segmentation where the rate per SB is very
low and overheads are likely to outweigh the benefits.
This patch reduces the -ve average metrics impact
of AQ mode 2 while allowing stronger 3 segment AQ
in some cases. Average improvement ~0.5-1.0%.

The y4m extension used is the same as the one used in ffmpeg/x264.
The patch is adapted from the highbitdepth branch.
Also adds unit tests for y4m header parsing and md5 check
of the raw frame data, as well as y4m writing.

This commit re-designs the quantization process for transform
coefficient blocks of size 4x4 to 16x16. It improves compression
performance for speed 7 by 3.85%. The SSSE3 version for the
new quantization process is included.
The average runtime of the 8x8 block quantization is reduced
from 285 cycles -> 255 cycles, i.e., over 10% faster.

Add a conditional compile flag for this feature. Also add a
switch to enable the encoder to use these statistics in the
second pass. Currently, the switch is turned off.

The current threshold is knid of low, and in many cases NEWMV
mode is checked but not picked as the best mode. This patch
added a speed feature to increase NEWMV threshold, so that
less partition mode checking goes to check NEWMV. This feature
is enabled for speed 6 and 7.
Rtc set borg tests showed:
1. Speed 6, overall psnr: -0.088%, ssim: -1.339%;
Average speedup on rtc set is 11.1%.
2. Speed 7, overall psnr: -0.505%, ssim: -2.320%
Average speedup on rtc set is 12.9%.

pull the latest from WebP, which adds a worker interface abstraction
allowing an application to override init/reset/sync/launch/execute/end
this has the side effect of removing a harmless, but annoying, TSan
warning.
