This commit re-works the entropy coding scheme of the motion
compensated prediction modes. It allows more flexible hyperplane
partition for precise classification.

This change has been imported from VP9 and
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 natural video clips, however, where the step search
is performing well, the quality gain and speed impact are small.

Fix a bug in vp10_has_right;
Some cosmetic changes.
Tiny performance improvement (0.02%~0.04%) on derflr and hevcmr.

Fix copied over from VP9 master to VP10 master.
Do not reset the alt ref active flag when overlaying the middle
arf(s) of a multi arf group.

The range_check is not used because the bit range
in fdct# is not correct. Since we are going to merge in a new version
of fdct# from nextgenv2, we won't fix the incorrect bit range now.

1) Add facade to quantize b/fp/dc version so that their interface
are the same.
2) Merge vp10_xform_quant b/fp/dc version to one function so that
the code flow in encodemb.c is clear

Estimate angle histogram using gradient analysis, then skip those
angles that are unlikely to be chosen.
On ext-intra experiment, turning off filter-intra modes:
for all-key-frame setting, computation overhead is reduced
by about 40%, coding gain dropped from +2.08% to +1.96% (derflr);
with kf-max-dist=150, computation overhead is reduced
by about 60%, coding gain dropped from +0.58% to +0.49% (derflr).

This commit ports the motion vector stack from motion field
analyzer to the encoding and decoding pipeline.

This commit allows the codec to analyze the motion field in the
avaiable above and left neighboring area to produce a set of
reference motion vectors for each reference frame. These reference
motion vectors are ranked according to the likelihood that it will
be picked.

Reduces the transform optons for INTRA as well as INTER when
transform size is 16x16 to not use any of the DSTs.
Thus, a total of 10 options are used for 16x16, while 4x4
and 8x8 still uses 17 options.
derflr/hevchd actually improves a little, while hevcmr drops
a little.
About 10% speed improvement.

These primitive variables are commonly required by many other
experiments as well. The use of n4_w and n4_h was originally
introduced in the vp9 decoder implementation.
