These allow sending partial bitstream packets over the network before
encoding a complete frame is completed, thus lowering end-to-end
latency. The tile-rows are not independent.

This patch adds column-based tiling. The idea is to make each tile
independently decodable (after reading the common frame header) and
also independendly encodable (minus within-frame cost adjustments in
the RD loop) to speed-up hardware & software en/decoders if they used
multi-threading. Column-based tiling has the added advantage (over
other tiling methods) that it minimizes realtime use-case latency,
since all threads can start encoding data as soon as the first SB-row
worth of data is available to the encoder.
There is some test code that does random tile ordering in the decoder,
to confirm that each tile is indeed independently decodable from other
tiles in the same frame. At tile edges, all contexts assume default
values (i.e. 0, 0 motion vector, no coefficients, DC intra4x4 mode),
and motion vector search and ordering do not cross tiles in the same
frame.
t log
Tile independence is not maintained between frames ATM, i.e. tile 0 of
frame 1 is free to use motion vectors that point into any tile of frame
0. We support 1 (i.e. no tiling), 2 or 4 column-tiles.
The loopfilter crosses tile boundaries. I discussed this briefly with Aki
and he says that's OK. An in-loop loopfilter would need to do some sync
between tile threads, but that shouldn't be a big issue.
Resuls: with tiling disabled, we go up slightly because of improved edge
use in the intra4x4 prediction. With 2 tiles, we lose about ~1% on derf,
~0.35% on HD and ~0.55% on STD/HD. With 4 tiles, we lose another ~1.5%
on derf ~0.77% on HD and ~0.85% on STD/HD. Most of this loss is
concentrated in the low-bitrate end of clips, and most of it is because
of the loss of edges at tile boundaries and the resulting loss of intra
predictors.
TODO:
- more tiles (perhaps allow row-based tiling also, and max. 8 tiles)?
- maybe optionally (for EC purposes), motion vectors themselves
should not cross tile edges, or we should emulate such borders as
if they were off-frame, to limit error propagation to within one
tile only. This doesn't have to be the default behaviour but could
be an optional bitstream flag.

Modify the decoder to return the ending position of the bool decoder and
use that as the starting position for the next frame.
The constant-space algorithm for parsing the appended frame lengths is
O(n^2), which is a potential DoS concern if n is unbounded. Revisit
the appended lengths for use as partition lengths when multipartition
support is added.
In addition, this allows decoding of raw streams outside of a container
without additional framing information, though it's insufficient to
be able to remux said stream into a container.

The altref frame is packed along with the next P frame. So that
outside of the codec there are now only two types of frames P and I.
Also, now it is one frame in and one frame out with respect to the
codec. Apart from that, all the frames are length encoded with the
length of each frame appended to the frame itself. There are
two categories of frames and each of them will look as follows:
- Packed frames (an altref along with the succeeding p frame)
- altref_frame_data | altref_lenngth | frame_data | length
- Unpacked frames (all frames other than the above)
- frame_data | length

Creates a merge between the master and experimental branches. Fixes a
number of conflicts in the build system to allow *either* VP8 or VP9
to be built. Specifically either:
$ configure --disable-vp9 $ configure --disable-vp8
--disable-unit-tests
VP9 still exports its symbols and files as VP8, so that will be
resolved in the next commit.
Unit tests are broken in VP9, but this isn't a new issue. They are
fixed upstream on origin/experimental as of this writing, but rebasing
this merge proved difficult, so will tackle that in a second merge
commit.

This commit adds lossless compression capability to the experimental
branch. The lossless experiment can be enabled using --enable-lossless
in configure. When the experiment is enabled, the encoder will use
lossless compression mode by command line option --lossless, and the
decoder automatically recognizes a losslessly encoded clip and decodes
accordingly.
To achieve the lossless coding, this commit has changed the following:
1. To encode at lossless mode, encoder forces the use of unit
quantizer, i.e, Q 0, where effective quantization is 1. Encoder also
disables the usage of 8x8 transform and allows only 4x4 transform;
2. At Q 0, the first order 4x4 DCT/IDCT have been switched over
to a pair of forward and inverse Walsh-Hadamard Transform
(http://goo.gl/EIsfy), with proper scaling applied to match the range
of the original 4x4 DCT/IDCT pair;
3. At Q 0, the second order remains to use the previous
walsh-hadamard transform pair. However, to maintain the reversibility
in second order transform at Q 0, scaling down is applied to first
order DC coefficients prior to forward transform, and scaling up is
applied to the second order output prior to quantization. Symmetric
upscaling and downscaling are added around inverse second order
transform;
4. At lossless mode, encoder also disables a number of minor
features to ensure no loss is introduced, these features includes:
a. Trellis quantization optimization
b. Loop filtering
c. Aggressive zero-binning, rounding and zero-bin boosting
d. Mode based zero-bin boosting
Lossless coding test was performed on all clips within the derf set,
to verify that the commit has achieved lossless compression for all
clips. The average compression ratio is around 2.57 to 1.

Avoid a pthreads dependency via pthread_once() when compiled with
--disable-multithread.
In addition, this synchronization is disabled for Win32 as well, even
though we can be sure that the required primatives exist, so that the
requirements on the application when built with --disable-multithread
are consistent across platforms.
Users using libvpx built with --disable-multithread in a multithreaded
context should provide their own synchronization. Updated the
documentation to vpx_codec_enc_init_ver() and vpx_codec_dec_init_ver()
to note this requirement. Moved the RTCD initialization call to match
this description, as previously it didn't happen until the first
frame.

In multi-resolution encoding, frame_type decision for each frame
is made by the lowest-resolution encoder. For all other higher-
resolution encoders, kf_mode is always set to VPX_KF_DISABLED,
and they are forced to use the same frame_type picked by the
lowest-resolution encoder.

Move the notion of 0 bitrate implying skip deeper into the codec,
rather than doing it at the multi-encoder API level. This preserves
v1.0.0 ABI compatibility, rather than forcing a bump to v2.0.0 over a
minor change. Also, this allows the case where the application can
selectively enable and disable the larger resolution(s) without having
to reinitialize the codec instace (for instance, if no target is
receiving the full resolution stream).
It's not clear how deep to push this check. It may be valuable to
allow the framerate adaptation code to run, for example. Currently put
the check as early as possible for simplicity, should reevaluate this
as this feature gains real use.

Sometimes, a user doesn't have enough bandwidth to send high-resolution
(i.e. HD) video even though the camera catches HD video. This change
allowed users to skip highest-resolution encoding by setting that level's
target bit rate to 0.
To test it, modify the following line in vp8_multi_resolution_encoder.c.
unsigned int target_bitrate[NUM_ENCODERS]={1400, 500, 100};
To skip the highest-resolution level, change it to
unsigned int target_bitrate[NUM_ENCODERS]={0, 500, 100};
To skip the first and second highest resolution levels, change it to
unsigned int target_bitrate[NUM_ENCODERS]={0, 0, 100};
This change also fixed a small problem in mapping, which slightly helped
quality and performance.

The module can be invoked from the commandline by use of the --mfqe

Uses the vp8_variance_var16x16 and vp8_variance_sad16x16 function
pointers to compute SAD and Variance of blocks.

The example encoder down-samples the input video frames a number of
times with a down-sampling factor, and then encodes and outputs
bitstreams with different resolutions.
Support arbitrary down-sampling factor, and down-sampling factor
can be different for each encoding level.
For example, the encoder can be tested as follows.
1. Configure with multi-resolution encoding enabled:
../libvpx/configure --target=x86-linux-gcc --disable-codecs
--enable-vp8 --enable-runtime_cpu_detect --enable-debug
--disable-install-docs --enable-error-concealment
--enable-multi-res-encoding
2. Run make
3. Encode:
If input video is 1280x720, run:
./vp8_multi_resolution_encoder 1280 720 input.yuv 1.ivf 2.ivf 3.ivf 1
(output: 1.ivf(1280x720); 2.ivf(640x360); 3.ivf(320x180).
The last parameter is set to 1/0 to show/not show PSNR.)
4. Decode:
./simple_decoder 1.ivf 1.yuv
./simple_decoder 2.ivf 2.yuv
./simple_decoder 3.ivf 3.yuv
5. View video:
mplayer 1.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=1280:h=720 -loop 0 -fps 30
mplayer 2.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=640:h=360 -loop 0 -fps 30
mplayer 3.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=320:h=180 -loop 0 -fps 30
The encoding parameters can be modified in vp8_multi_resolution_encoder.c,
for example, target bitrate, frame rate...
Modified API. John helped a lot with that. Thanks!
