The y4m extension used is the same as the one used in ffmpeg/x264.
The patch is adapted from the highbitdepth branch.

Also adds unit tests for y4m header parsing and md5 check
of the raw frame data, as well as y4m writing.

vp9_rdopt is for making rd optimal mode decisions. vp9_rd is for all
other rd related routines. Anything used outside of making an rd optimal
decision belongs in rd.

Moved the threshold adjustment before reference flag checking,
which could set the threshold to INT_MAX for disabled reference
frame, and cause overflow if the adjustment is done after that.

Renamed updating_running_avg() to filter(). Extended function with the rest of
the filter procedure. Made all of the empirically-determined constants used in
VP8 into functions so they can be tweaked more easily.

As in VP8.

Currently, this parameter is set with the VP8E_SET_NOISE_SENSITIVITY flag.
The flag was not renamed so that we don't break the interface for webrtc. This
should probably be changed at some point in the future.

Add test code to turn multi-arf on and off depending
on group length and zero motion.

Changes to active max group length for mult-arf.

Fund second arf only from normal frame bits.

This commit added a speed feature to control the step_param used in
full pixel motion search. The intention is to reduced the search
steps for high speed real time coding.

Adapt the use of segmentation in AQ mode 2 based on
the ambient kf/arf/gf Q.

Disable segmentation where the rate per SB is very
low and overheads are likely to outweigh the benefits.

This patch reduces the -ve average metrics impact
of AQ mode 2 while allowing stronger 3 segment AQ
in some cases. Average improvement ~0.5-1.0%.

This commit re-designs the quantization process for transform
coefficient blocks of size 4x4 to 16x16. It improves compression
performance for speed 7 by 3.85%. The SSSE3 version for the
new quantization process is included.

The average runtime of the 8x8 block quantization is reduced
from 285 cycles -> 255 cycles, i.e., over 10% faster.

Add a conditional compile flag for this feature. Also add a
switch to enable the encoder to use these statistics in the
second pass. Currently, the switch is turned off.

The current threshold is knid of low, and in many cases NEWMV
mode is checked but not picked as the best mode. This patch
added a speed feature to increase NEWMV threshold, so that
less partition mode checking goes to check NEWMV. This feature
is enabled for speed 6 and 7.

Rtc set borg tests showed:
1. Speed 6, overall psnr: -0.088%, ssim: -1.339%;
   Average speedup on rtc set is 11.1%.
2. Speed 7, overall psnr: -0.505%, ssim: -2.320%
   Average speedup on rtc set is 12.9%.
