Uses more aggrerssive interpolation to reduce storage for the
model tables by almost more than half. Only 48 lists of probs are
stored (as opposed to 128 before), corresponding to ONE_NODE
probabilities of:
1,
3, 7, 11, ..., 115, 119,
127, 135, ..., 247, 255.
Besides, only 1 table is used as opposed to 2 before. So the overall
memory needed for the tables is just 48 * 8 = 384 bytes.
The table currently used is based on a new Pareto distribution with
heavier tail than a generalized Gaussian - which improves results on
derf by about 0.1% over a single table Generaized Gaussian.
Results overall on derfraw300 is -0.14%.

Cleans up the experiment. Actually uses reduced counts for backward
updates, and reduced number of probabilities in the context.
No change in bitstream when the experiment is on.
Between expt on and off:
derfraw300 is down only -0.062% (which is better than when expts
were run previously).

This patch eliminates the intermediate diff buffer usage by
combining the short idct and the add residual into one function.
The encoder can use the same code as well.

The new code is 0x49, 0x83, 0x42
There is nothing particularly special about this code bitstream wise.
Its derivation is the word "sync" coded using 4x6bit alphabetic indices.

The recursive partition type search is enabled down to 4x4, 4x8 and
8x4, followed by the corresponding rate-distortion optimization for
the per-partition encoding mode decisions.
The bit-stream writing/reading synchronized in supporting the
rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
This provides above 1% coding performance gains on derf.
To do next:
1. re-design the rate-distortion loop for inter prediction below 8x8.
2. re-design the rate-distortion loop for intra prediction below 4x4.
3. make the loop-filter aware of rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
4. clean the unused probability models.
5. update default probability values.

Correct the stride parameter of 4x8 in vp9_sub_pixel_variance4x8_
and vp9_sub_pixel_avg_variance4x8.

Replace vp9_kf_default_bmode_counts structure with
direct default probabilities. The probability structure is
smaller and it removes the need to specify in the bitstream
how to convert the counts to probabilities.
Note that I have concerns still about the size and value of
the large intra mode context. This may cause problems for
HW but it also means we rely heavily on reverse update as
forwards update of a structure this size is problematic. I
intend to review this more generally in the next few days to
see if we can come up with a competitive solution that does
not rely on such a large context.

Deprecate set_block_index. Replace it with get_sb_index_ for
consistency with partition search and bit-stream writing/reading.
Use b_width/height_log2 instead of mi_width/height_log2, to support
4x4 resolution partition types.
Change-Id: Ic1e71981e163c669f7ea6b3c12b831c284c4a494
Replace mi_width/height_log2 with b_width/height_log2 in partition
type parsing at bit-stream writing stage. This allows parsing
resolution at 4x4 block level and makes the 4x4/4x8/8x4 partition
coding consistent with other superblock types.

Test on cif set showed small but consistent compression gain for
almost all encodings with overall impact of .08%. The gains average
aournd .12% combined with D63 adst change.
Test encoding on std-hd set is ongoing..

These building blocks enable rate-distortion optimization search
over block sizes of 8x4 and 4x8. Need to convert them into mmx/sse
forms.

This patch creates a new inter mode contest that avoids
a dependence on the reconstructed motion vectors from
neighboring blocks. This was a change requested by
a hardware vendor to improve decode performance.
As part of this change I have also made some modifications
to stats output code (under a flag) to allow accumulation of
inter mode context flags over multiple clips
Some further changes will be required to accommodate the
deprecation of the split mv mode over the next few days.
Performance as stands is around -0.25% on derf and
std-hd but up on the YT and YT-HD sets. With further tuning
or some adjustment to the context criteria it should be
possible to make this change broadly neutral.

Adds a subsampling aware border extension function. This may be reworked
soon to support more than 3 planes.
