Simplified the code and removed some code that was not used anymore.
This patch didn't change encoding result.

mi_grid_* are arrays of pointer to pointer. They save the pointers that point
to the MIs in cm->mi. But they are unnecessary and complicated. The original
goal was to remove MODE_INFO_t copy. But with an extra MODE_INFO_t pointer
inside MODE_INFO_t, same goal could be achieved.
This commit totally removes the mi_grid_* structures. But there are still
many dummy MODE_INFO_t inside cm->mi which are a waste of memory. Next commit
will do on-demand MODE_INFO_t allocation in order to save these memories.

vpx_svc_parameters_t contains id, resolution and min/max qp for each spatial layer.
In this change we will use extra config to send min/max qp and scaling factors, then calculate layer resolution inside encoder.

Substantial restructuring of the way we estimate
the rate of decay in prediction quality and determine
the arf interval and amount of boost used.
Also other changes to support moving to a lower first pass
Q which exposes some new features and allows us to better
distinguish genuinely static blocks from low motion or noisy
blocks.
Net gains now visible on all the test sets with std-hd PSNR up
1.87%. There are still some bad outlier cases but most of these
are low motion or slide show type content where the metrics
are already high at any given rate. The best + case is up by
more than 10%.

The ARF frame should always be the same size as the
native resolution of the input frames.
It will be scaled to the required resolution at
encode time.

This commit makes the encoder to use non-zero mode threshold for
NEARESTMV modes. The runtime for test clips of speed 3 is reduced
by about 1%.
pedestrian 1080p 2000 kbps, 143239 ms -> 141989 ms
bus CIF 1000 kbps, 7835 ms -> 7749 ms
The compression performance change is about -0.02% for both derf
and stdhd.

If the partition block is skippable, which means no coefficients
for Y, U, and V planes, its skip flag is set to 1. No quality
change (verified by borg tests), and no noticeable speed change.

This commit enforces ARF validation check for compound inter modes.
It avoids potential access to ARF in the encoding process if it
is not allowed.

The valid reference frame check in sub8x8 rate-distortion
optimization search has been included in the ref_frame_skip_mask
scheme. This commit removes the later further validation checks
that are not in effect.

This commit replaces the best_ref_index table fetch with the use
of best_mbmode in vp9_rd_pick_inter_mode_sub8x8.

Call to vp9_rc_get_second_pass_params() moved from
Pass2Encode() to earlier in vp9_get_compressed_data(),
to ensure that two pass stats and parameters are
available before decisions such as frame scaling.

When a reference frame type is not in the frame buffer, the mode
search threshold will be set to INT_MAX, so as to effectively
turn off the mode entries in the rate-distortion optimization loop
that involves this reference frame type. This operation is now
integrated in the ref_frame_skip_mask scheme. This commit hence
removes the redundant mode search threshold setting.

This commit unifies the reference frame control in the rate-
distortion optimization search loop of sub8x8 block size to remove
the control dependency on mode search order.

Improves function to return sad of integer pels by reusing integer
pels already visited in the smallest scale.
Turns on BIGDIA search for speed 4. Also, turns on the
first version of the pruned subpel search at this speed.
derf: -0.32% (speed 4)
Speed seems to improve by at least 5% but subject to verification.

Adds various high bitdepth transform functions and tests.
Much of the changes are related to using typedefs tran_low_t
and tran_high_t for the final transform cofficients and intermediate
stages of the transform computation respectively rather than fixed
types int16_t/int. When vp9_highbitdepth configure flag is off,
these map tp int16_t/int32_t, but when the flag is on, they map
to int32_t/int64_t to make space for needed extra precision.
