Yunqing Wang eba9c762a1 vp9_ethread: the tile-based multi-threaded encoder
Currently, VP9 supports column-tile encoding, which allows a frame
to be encoded in multiple column tiles independently. The number of
column tiles are set by encoder option "--tile-columns". This
provides a way to encode a frame in parallel.

Based on previous set of patches, this patch implemented the tile-
based multi-threaded encoder. Each thread processes one or more
tiles.

Usage:
For HD clips:
--tile-columns=2 --threads=1/2/3/4

While using 4 threads, tests showed that the encoder achieved
2.3X - 2.5X speedup at good-quality speed 3, and 2X speedup at
realtime speed 5.
