Yunqing Wang aa7335e610 Multiple-resolution encoder
The example encoder down-samples the input video frames a number of
times with a down-sampling factor, and then encodes and outputs
bitstreams with different resolutions.

Support arbitrary down-sampling factor, and down-sampling factor
can be different for each encoding level.

For example, the encoder can be tested as follows.
1. Configure with multi-resolution encoding enabled:
../libvpx/configure --target=x86-linux-gcc --disable-codecs
--enable-vp8 --enable-runtime_cpu_detect --enable-debug
--disable-install-docs --enable-error-concealment
--enable-multi-res-encoding
2. Run make
3. Encode:
If input video is 1280x720, run:
./vp8_multi_resolution_encoder 1280 720 input.yuv 1.ivf 2.ivf 3.ivf 1
(output: 1.ivf(1280x720); 2.ivf(640x360); 3.ivf(320x180).
The last parameter is set to 1/0 to show/not show PSNR.)
4. Decode:
./simple_decoder 1.ivf 1.yuv
./simple_decoder 2.ivf 2.yuv
./simple_decoder 3.ivf 3.yuv
5. View video:
mplayer 1.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=1280:h=720 -loop 0 -fps 30
mplayer 2.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=640:h=360 -loop 0 -fps 30
mplayer 3.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=320:h=180 -loop 0 -fps 30

The encoding parameters can be modified in vp8_multi_resolution_encoder.c,
for example, target bitrate, frame rate...

Modified API. John helped a lot with that. Thanks!

/*! \page usage_encode Encode
The vpx_codec_encode() function is at the core of the encode loop. It
processes raw images passed by the application, producing packets of
compressed data. The <code>deadline</code> parameter controls the amount
of time in microseconds the encoder should spend working on the frame. For
more information on the <code>deadline</code> parameter, see
\ref usage_deadline.
