Replaced existing code to decide if a frame recode is required
with a function call. This is to simplify addition of extra clauses
that may be needed for the planned constrained quality mode.
Also fixed a bug where by alt ref not considered in the test.

x86-64 passes arguments in registers. There is no need to push
them to the stack before using them.
This fixes 15acc84f10 where ebx
was not getting preserved on x86.

The use of incorrect mv costing tables in the ARNR sub-pel
filtering code led to corruption of the altref buffer in some cases,
particularly at low data rates.
The average gain from this fix is about 0.3% but there are a few
extreme cases where nasty and visible artifacts manifested and
for these few data points the improvement is > 10%.

This intends to correct the tendency that VP8 aggressively favors rate
on intra coded frames. Experiments tested different numbers in [0, 1]
and found 9/16 overall provided about 2-4% gains for all-intra coded
clips based on vpx-ssim metric. The impact on regular encoded clips
is much smaller but positive overall. Overall impact on psnr is also
positive even though very small.

The fast quantizer assembly code has not been updated to match the new
exact quantizer, which was made the default in commit 6adbe09.
Specifically, they are not aware of the potential for the coefficient
to be scaled, which results in the quantized result exceeding the range
of the DCT. This patch restores the previous behavior of using the
non-shifted coefficients when in the fast quantizer code path, but
unfortunately requires rebuilding the tables when switching between the
two.

- Used three probability approach for temporal context as follows:
P0 - probability of no change if both above and left not changed
P1 - probability of no change if one of above and left has changed
P2 - probability of no change if both above and left have changed
In addition, a 1 bit/frame has been used to decide whether to use temporal context or to encode directly. The cost of using both the schemes is calculated ahead and the temporal_update flag is set if the cost of using temporal context is lower than encoding the segment ids directly.
This approach has given around 20% reduction in cost of bits needed to encode segmentation ids.

VBR rate control can become very noisy for the last few frames.
If there are a few bits to spare or a small overshoot then the
target rate and hence quantizer may start to fluctuate wildly.
This patch prevents further adjustment of the active Q limits for
the last few frames.
Patch also removes some redundant variables and makes one small bug fix.

Small changes to the default zero bin and rounding tables.
Though the tables are currently the same for the Y1 and Y2 cases
I have left them as separate tables in case we want to tune this later.
There is now some adjustment of the zbin based on the prediction mode.
Previously this was restricted to an adjustment for gf/arf 0,0 MV.
The exact quantizer now marginal outperforms and is the default.
The overall average gain is about 0.5%

The check '(user_data_end - partition < partition_size)' must be
evaluated as a signed comparison, but because partition_size was
unsigned, the LHS was promoted to unsigned, causing an incorrect
result on 32-bit. Instead, check the upper and lower bounds of
the segment separately.

Change Ice204e86 identified a problem with bitrate undershoot due to
low precision in the timestamps passed to the library. This patch
takes a different approach by calculating the duration of this frame
and passing it to the library, rather than using a fixed duration
and letting the library average it out with higher precision
timestamps. This part of the fix only applies to vpxenc.
This patch also attempts to fix the problem for generic applications
that may have made the same mistake vpxenc did. Instead of
calculating this frame's duration by the difference of this frame's
and the last frame's start time, we use the end times instead. This
allows the framerate calculation to scavenge "unclaimed" time from
the last frame. For instance:
start | end | calculated duration

0ms 33ms 33ms
33ms 66ms 33ms
66ms 99ms 33ms

This eliminates a large set of warnings exposed by the Mozilla build
system (Use of C++ comments in ISO C90 source, commas at the end of
enum lists, a couple incomplete initializers, and signed/unsigned
comparisons).
It also eliminates many (but not all) of the warnings expose by newer
GCC versions and _FORTIFY_SOURCE (e.g., calling fread and fwrite
without checking the return values).
There are a few spurious warnings left on my system:
../vp8/encoder/encodemb.c:274:9: warning: 'sz' may be used
uninitialized in this function
gcc seems to be unable to figure out that the value shortcut doesn't
change between the two if blocks that test it here.
../vp8/encoder/onyx_if.c:5314:5: warning: comparison of unsigned
expression >= 0 is always true
../vp8/encoder/onyx_if.c:5319:5: warning: comparison of unsigned
expression >= 0 is always true
This is true, so far as it goes, but it's comparing against an enum, and the C
standard does not mandate that enums be unsigned, so the checks can't be
removed.

Turned down the blending level to make colored blocks obscure

Not blending the entire block to give distinction to macro
