    Changed how coefficient probability table is updated · 2d1ead34

    Added a frame level flag to indicate if coef probabilities are updated
    at all for the frame.
    
    During the experimental work with 8x8 transform, it is discovered that
    even in the case of no probability is ever update, cost of transmitting
    "no update" for each of probabilities can run up to become a significant
    overhead cost. A single bit to indicate no-update for all coef probs
    is therefore helpful, which is also demonstrated by the test results:
    
    1. On Cif set:
    http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif_t8x8_updprob.html
    (avg psnr: .14%, glb psnr: .14% SSIM: .13%)
    
    2. On HD set:
    http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/HD_t8x8_updprob.html
    (avg psnr: .02%  glb psnr: .01% SSIM: .02%)
    It should be noted that the gain on HD is smaller because the average bit
    rate is much higher in contrast to the overhead bit cost.
