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
because the index was fixed at 0 rather than using i.

I got this idea from Pascal (Thanks). Before encoding a macroblock,
copy it to a 16x16 buffer, and then read source data from there
instead. This will help keep the source data in cache, and help
with the performance.

experimental branch build was broken from some merge artifacts, this

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.

Add the --rate-hist=n option, which displays a histogram with n

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

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 compiler to produce better assembly code. Tests
showed a 1 - 2 % performance boost (x86 using gcc)
for the 720p clip used.

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).

Replace =1 with =true for yasm tool element. This aids in upgrading
e.g., vs9 project files to vs10.

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.
