All changes are for spatial svc only.
1. Enable encoding hidden frames in each layer and use alt reference idex to reference the hidden frame in each layer
2. Use golden reference idx for spatial reference
3. For those layers that don't have hidden frames (caused by lack of frame buffers), reference a hidden frame in lower layers
4. Add "auto-alt-refs" in svc options

vp9_rdopt is for making rd optimal mode decisions. vp9_rd is for all
other rd related routines. Anything used outside of making an rd optimal
decision belongs in rd.

Add test code to turn multi-arf on and off depending
on group length and zero motion.
Changes to active max group length for mult-arf.
Fund second arf only from normal frame bits.

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.

For the primary arf in a group, if multiple arfs
are enabled and we were using arfs in the previous
group, then allow the second arf from the previous
group to be used as an additional reference.

Cosmetic patch only in response to comments on
previous patches suggesting a couple of name changes
for consistency and clarity.

Add indirection to the section of buffer indices.
This is to help simplify things in the future if we
have other codec features that switch indices.
Limit the max GF interval for static sections to fit
the gf_group structures.

Fix some bugs relating to the use of buffers
in the overlay frames.
Fix bug where a mid sequence overlay was
propagating large partition and transform sizes into
the subsequent frame because of :-
sf->last_partitioning_redo_frequency > 1 and
sf->tx_size_search_method == USE_LARGESTALL

This patch implements a mechanism for inserting a second
arf at the mid position of arf groups.
It is currently disabled by default using the flag multi_arf_enabled.
Results are currently down somewhat in initial testing if
multi-arf is enabled. Most of the loss is attributable to the
fact that code to preserve the previous golden frame
(in the arf buffer) in cases where we are coding an overlay
frame, is currently disabled in the multi-arf case.

The encoder currently allocates frame buffers before
it establishes what the chroma sub-sampling factor is,
always allocating based on the 4:4:4 format.
This patch detects the chroma format as early as
possible allowing the encoder to allocate buffers of
the correct size.
Future patches will change the encoder to allocate
frame buffers on demand to further reduce the memory
profile of the encoder and rationalize the buffer
management in the encoder and decoder.

This patch allows the VP9 encoder to skip the un-necessary
motion search in the first pass. It computes the motion error
of 0,0 motion using the last source frame as the reference,
and skips the further motion search if this error is small.
Borg test shows overall the patch gives PSNR gain (derf -0.001%,
yt 0.341%, hd 0.282%). Individual clips may have PSNR gain or
loss. The best PSNR performance is 7.347% and the worst is -0.662%.
The first pass encoding speedup for slideshow clips is over 30%.

This patch appears to have introduced non-determinism and/or
mismatch from debug vs release.
This reverts commit 5daef90efc.

This patch allows the encoder to skip the
un-neccessary motion search in the first pass. It
calculates the error of the zero motion vector using
the last source frame as reference and skips the
further motion search in the first pass if the error
is small.
The encoding speedup of the first pass for slideshow
videos is over 30%. Borg test shows the overall PSNR
performance remain approximately the same (derf -0.009,
hd 0.387, yt 0.021, stdhd 0.065). Individual clips may
have either PSNR gain or loss. The worst PSNR perfomance
is from yt set, with a PSNR loss of -1.1.

Use of stack frame variable "fps" beyond the lifetime of the function.
fps is sent as a paremeter to output_stats and stored in the
packet holding this encoded frame. This has scope beyond the
lifetime of the calling function.
This reverts commit 3f95a230c7

This code dates from the ancient past and
applied an error score weighting based on pixel
brightness. This not seem to be providing any
benefit metrics wise and could be making some
visual issues in dark frames worse.
The field is left in place in the FIRSTPASS_STATS data
structure in this patch, pending changes to unit tests that
use a pre-defined first pass file.
Change-Id: Id50f04205230234858e7548ce523f11acaf3567d
Further changes to first pass allocation for gf/arf groups.
Three variables removed from TWO_PASS structure as only
now used locally. Dont adjust gf_group_bits in the post
encode update as this will no longer have any effect.
Change-Id: Iff89b225db923fc856f5d2aedbc899f1d7d68b55
Restructuring to allocate the bits for each frame in
a GF group at the time the group is defined.
At the moment the allocation closely mirrors what
we had before.
Also changes the default rate adjustment method to
LONG_TERM_VBR_CORRECTION.
