There were many instances in the code of vp8_coef_tokens and
vp8_coef_tokens-1, which was a preprocessor macro despite the naming
convention. Replace these with MAX_ENTROPY_TOKENS and ENTROPY_NODES,
respectively.

With this commit frames can be received partition-by-partition
from the encoder and passed partition-by-partition to the
decoder.
At the encoder-side this makes it easier to split encoded
frames at partition boundaries, useful when packetizing
frames. When VPX_CODEC_USE_OUTPUT_PARTITION is enabled,
several VPX_CODEC_CX_FRAME_PKT packets will be returned
from vpx_codec_get_cx_data(), containing one partition
each. The partition_id (starting at 0) specifies the decoding
order of the partitions. All partitions but the last has
the VPX_FRAME_IS_FRAGMENT flag set.
At the decoder this opens up the possibility of decoding partition
N even though partition N-1 was lost (given that independent
partitioning has been enabled in the encoder) if more info
about the missing parts of the stream is available through
external signaling.
Each partition is passed to the decoder through the
vpx_codec_decode() function, with the data pointer pointing
to the start of the partition, and with data_sz equal to the
size of the partition. Missing partitions can be signaled to
the decoder by setting data != NULL and data_sz = 0. When
all partitions have been given to the decoder "end of data"
should be signaled by calling vpx_codec_decode() with
data = NULL and data_sz = 0.
The first partition is the first partition according to the
VP8 bitstream + the uncompressed data chunk + DCT address
offsets if multiple residual partitions are used.

Adding support in the encoder for generating
independent residual partitions by forcing
equal probabilities over the prev coef entropy
contexts.

The current code stores pointers to coefficient tables and loads them to
access the tables contents. As these pointers are stored in the code
sections, it means we end up with text relocations. eu-findtextrel will
thus complain about code not compiled with -fpic/-fPIC.
Since the pointers are stored in the code sections, we can actually cheat
and let the assembler generate relative addressing when accessing the
coefficient tables, and just load their location with adr.

Also includes a couple of error concealment bug fixes:
- the segment_id wasn't properly initialized when missing
- when interpolating and no neighbors are found, set to zero
- clear the qcoef buffer when concealing an MB

Only the first frame buffer ref counter was being initialized

This reverts commit 212f618373.
Further testing shows that the overshoot accumulation/damping is too
aggressive on some clips. Allowing the accumulated overshoot to
decay and limiting to damping to golden frames shows some promise.
But some clips show significant overshoot in the buffer window, so
I think this still needs work.

vp8_yv12_copy_frame_ptr() expects same size
buffers which was not previously gaurenteed.
Using an improperly allocated buffer would

RDMULT/RDDIV defines a bit worth of distortion in term of sum squared
difference. This has also been used as errorperbit in subpixel motion
search, where the distortions computed as variance of the difference.
The variance of differences is different from sum squared differences
by amount of DC squared. Typically, for inter predicted MBs, this
difference averages around 10% between the two distortion, so this patch
introduces a 110% constant in deriving errorperbit from RDMULT/RDDIV.
Test on CIF set shows small but positive gain on overall PSNR (.03%)
and SSIM (.07%), overall impact on average PSNR is 0.

Relocated the vp8dx_bool_decoder_fill() call, allowing

The starting points are always within the limits, and bounds
checking on these points is not needed. For speed < 5, the
encoded result changes a little because different treatment
is taken while starting point equals the bounds.

Modify the second-pass code to provide a full golden-frame (GF) bit
allocation boost if the past GF group (GFG) had no alt-ref frame (ARF),
even if the current GFG does contain and ARF.
This mostly has no effect on clips, since switching ARFs on/off between
GFGs is not very common. Has a positive effect on e.g. cheer (+0.45 SSIM
at 600kbps) and football (+0.25 SSIM at 600kbps), particularly at high
bitrates. Has a negative effect (-0.04 SSIM at 300kbps) at pamphlet,
which appears only marginally related to this patch, and crew (-0.1 SSIM
at 700kbps).

firstpass.c contains some rate adjustment code that assures that the
last few frames in a sequence abide by rate limits. If the second-to-
last group of frames contains an alt-ref frame (ARF), the last golden
frame (GF) is zero bytes, and we will thus spend a ridiculously high
number of bits on regular P-frames trying to hit the target rate. This
does slightly enhance the quality of these last few frames, but has
no perceptual value (other than hitting the target rate).
Disabling this code means we consistently (slightly) undershoot the
target rate and consequently do worse on the last few frames of a
clip, which is particularly noticeable for small clips. The quality-
per-bitrate is generally better, ~0.2% better overall on derf-set,
especially on clips such as garden, tennis, foreman at low bitrates.
Has a negative effect on hallmonitor at high bitrates.

there's nothing to clobber the subblock modes, so there's no need to
save and restore them.

In activity masking, RDO constant RDMULT is adjusted on a per MB basis
adaptive to activity with the MB. errorperbit, which is defined as
RDMULT/RDDIV, is a constant used in motion estimation. Previously, in
activity masking, errorperbit is not changed even when RDMULT is changed.
This commit changed to adjust errorperbit according to the change in
RDMULT.
Test in cif set showed a very small but consistent gain by all quality
metrics (average, overall psnr and ssim) when activity masking is on.
