Don't initialize first pass costs for a number of symbols where first
pass probabilities aren't initialized.
This brings a 1.22x first pass speedup.

External dynamic resize with swapping width and height was
not handled properly.
Fix is to re-init loop-filter under certain condtions.
Modify unittest to test this case.
Without this change test will fail.

This patch fixes a bug that causes the loop filter search to reset to
a low value or zero after each arf overlay frame. We expect the overlay
frames to need little or no loop filtering but this should not propagate.

Prior to this patch, read_inter_block_mode_info() would
find the nearmv and nearestmv for all modes. Now it does not
search for ZEROMV modes and breaks out early for NEARMV and
NEWMV modes.

Under --enable-better-hw-compabibility, this commit adds the asserts
that no mv clamping is applied for scaled references, so when built
with this configure option, decoder will assert if an input bitstream
triggger mv clamping for scaled reference frames.
Change-Id: I786e86a2bbbfb5bc2d2b706a31b0ffa8fe2eb0cb
This commit adds a new configure option:
--enable-better-hw-compatibility
The purpose of the configure option is to provide information on known
hardware decoder implementation bugs, so encoder implementers may
choose to implement their encoders in a way to avoid triggering these
decoder bugs.
The WebM team were made aware of that a number of hardware decoders
have trouble in handling the combination of scaled frame reference
frame and 8x4 or 4x8 partitions. This commit added asserts to vp9
decoder, so when built with above configure option, the decoder can
assert if an input bitstream triggers such decoder bug.

This change alters the nature and use of exhaustive motion search.
Firstly any exhaustive search is preceded by a normal step search.
The exhaustive search is only carried out if the distortion resulting
from the step search is above a threshold value.
Secondly the simple +/- 64 exhaustive search is replaced by a
multi stage mesh based search where each stage has a range
and step/interval size. Subsequent stages use the best position from
the previous stage as the center of the search but use a reduced range
and interval size.
For example:
stage 1: Range +/- 64 interval 4
stage 2: Range +/- 32 interval 2
stage 3: Range +/- 15 interval 1
This process, especially when it follows on from a normal step
search, has shown itself to be almost as effective as a full range
exhaustive search with step 1 but greatly lowers the computational
complexity such that it can be used in some cases for speeds 0-2.
This patch also removes a double exhaustive search for sub 8x8 blocks
which also contained a bug (the two searches used different distortion
metrics).
For best quality in my test animation sequence this patch has almost
no impact on quality but improves encode speed by more than 5X.
Restricted use in good quality speeds 0-2 yields significant quality gains
on the animation test of 0.2 - 0.5 db with only a small impact on encode
speed. On most clips though the quality gain and speed impact are small.

This function now has an AVX intrinsics version which is about 80%
faster compared to the C implementation. This provides a 2-4% total
speed-up for encode, depending on encoding parameters. The function
utilizes 3 properties of the cost function lookup table, constructed
in 'cal_nmvjointsadcost' and 'cal_nmvsadcosts'.
For the joint cost:
- mvjointsadcost[1] == mvjointsadcost[2] == mvjointsadcost[3]
For the component costs:
- For all i: mvsadcost[0][i] == mvsadcost[1][i]
(equal per component cost)
- For all i: mvsadcost[0][i] == mvsadcost[0][-i]
(Cost function is even)
These must hold, otherwise the AVX version of the function cannot be used.

This breaks 32-bit builds:

The old workaround "p = 0 ? 0 : p -1" is misleading.
?: happens before =
assigning back to p truncates to one byte.
Therefore it is equivalent to (p - 1) & 0xFF, but the check just exists
to work around a first pass bug, so let's make the work around more
clear.

A new version of vp9_highbd_error_8bit is now available which is
optimized with AVX assembly. AVX itself does not buy us too much, but
the non-destructive 3 operand format encoding of the 128bit SSEn integer
instructions helps to eliminate move instructions. The Sandy Bridge
micro-architecture cannot eliminate move instructions in the processor
front end, so AVX will help on these machines.
Further 2 optimizations are applied:
1. The common case of computing block error on 4x4 blocks is optimized
as a special case.
2. All arithmetic is speculatively done on 32 bits only. At the end of
the loop, the code detects if overflow might have happened and if so,
the whole computation is re-executed using higher precision arithmetic.
This case however is extremely rare in real use, so we can achieve a
large net gain here.
The optimizations rely on the fact that the coefficients are in the
range [-(2^15-1), 2^15-1], and that the quantized coefficients always
have the same sign as the input coefficients (in the worst case they are
0). These are the same assumptions that the old SSE2 assembly code for
the non high bitdepth configuration relied on. The unit tests have been
updated to take this constraint into consideration when generating test
input data.

If high bit depth configuration is enabled, but encoding in profile 0,
the code now falls back on optimized SSE2 assembler to compute the
block errors, similar to when high bit depth is not enabled.
