Add a full range motion search for regular block sizes. This runs
exhaustive search within the given reference area. This commit further
optimizes the search process by combining 4 points test into one
pipeline, which gives 30% speed-up as compared to run each individual
point at a time.
This full range search serves as a best possible motion search reference.
When replacing the diamond search with full range search, the speed 0
runtime of bus CIF at 2000 kbps goes from 153872ms to 623051ms. The
compression performance compared to speed 0 setting gains 0.585% for
derf set.

Includes various cleanups.
Streamlines the interfaces so that all rate control state
updates happen in the vp9_rc_postencode_update() function.
This will hopefully make it easier to support multiple
rate control schemes.
Removes some unnecessary code, which in rare cases can casue
a difference in the constrained quality mode output, but
other than that there is no bitstream change yet.

This commit takes out vp9_extend_frame_borders from
vp9_setup_scale_factors.
The refactoring is for the preparation of the use of lazy border
extension at decoder. This makes it necessary to handle border
extension separately at encoder/decoder. The use of
vp9_extend_frame_borders will be removed, when lazy border extension
is ready.

This commit enables the dual buffer rate-distortion optimization
and encoding scheme. It stacks the original transform coefficients,
quantized levels, and reconstructed coefficients, in the rate-
distortion optimization search process, hence eliminates the need
to re-run residual generation, forward transform, and quantization
in the encoding stage.

SVC multiple layer per frame encoding is invoked with vpx_svc_init and

- fixed bug with single layer encodes

- parameterized quantizer, 16th scalefactors, more logging,
- enabled single layer encodes to generate baseline

This 2-pass rate control setting allocates bits based
on first pass stats to each kf group, gf group and individual
frame but does not correct the bits left and allocation after
each frame.
In other words it recommends a bit allocation for each frame
but does not try and correct any over or under spend on a
frame over the remainder of the clip. This reduces the accuracy
of rate control in terms of hitting an average bitrate but prevents
problems that may arise because early frames either use to many
or too few bits. This mode is currently more inclined to undershoot
than overshoot (particularly at higher data rates).
Also minor changes to rate of adaption when recode loop is not
enabled.
This mode is currently enabled by default for VBR.
It gives the following % performance gains.
derf +0.467, +1.072
yt 2.962, 2.645

This commit makes the buffer allocation of zcoeff_blk array in
pick_mode_context block size aware. It calculates the number of
4x4 blocks in the partition and assigns the memory space accordingly.
This process (and the uninitialization) is done once for each encoding
pass. It allows memory copy of smaller buffer when possible.

This should be similar to what x264 does with --aq-mode 1.
It works well with clips like parkjoy and touhou
(http://x264.nl/developers/Dark_Shikari/LosslessTouhou.mkv).
At low bitrates, the segmentation signaling overhead may negate the
benefits of this feature.
(PGW) Default changed to feature OFF to allow provisional merge.

Updated the encoder to handle frames that are coded
intra-only. Intra-only frames must be non-showable,
that is, the "show frame" flag must be set to 0 in
the frame header.
Tested by forcing the ARF frames to be coded intra-
only.
Note: The rate control code will need to be modified
to account for intra-only frames better than they
are currently handled.

When the codec in VBR (or cq) mode hits its max q limits and is
struggling to hit a target bandwidth, the bit target per frame collapses.
In the first instance normal frames cap out at the maximum allowed
Q and then the ARF and GFs do the same. This latter behavior is not
generally desirable as GFs and ARFs are only effective from a quality
and data rate perspective if they have at lease some level of -Q delta
compared to the surrounding frames.
In this patch I define a separate max Q for GFs and ARFs that is
derived from but somewhat lower than that defined for normal frames.
In effect there is a minimum Q delta that will always be available for
GFs and ARFs regardless of the target rate and MAXQ setting.
This may of course mean that the absolute lowest rate obtainable for
a given clip is somewhat higher.

This commit allows sub8x8 intra modes test in the rate-distortion
