    Implicit weighted prediction experiment · 23144d23

    Adds an experiment to use a weighted prediction of two INTER
    predictors, where the weight is one of (1/4, 3/4), (3/8, 5/8),
    (1/2, 1/2), (5/8, 3/8) or (3/4, 1/4), and is chosen implicitly
    based on consistency of the predictors to the already
    reconstructed pixels to the top and left of the current macroblock
    or superblock.
    
    Currently the weighting is not applied to SPLITMV modes, which
    default to the usual (1/2, 1/2) weighting. However the code is in
    place controlled by a macro. The same weighting is used for Y and
    UV components, where the weight is derived from analyzing the Y
    component only.
    
    Results (over compound inter-intra experiment)
    derf: +0.18%
    yt: +0.34%
    hd: +0.49%
    stdhd: +0.23%
    
    The experiment suggests bigger benefit for explicitly signaled weights.
