This patch is designed to complete the CONFIG_MAX_TILE experiment.
It adds the following features:
- Explicit tiles of same width can be signalled with command line --tile_width
- Explicit tiles of same hieght can be signalled with command line --tile_height
- max_tile now works with the depenedent horizontal tiles experiment
- additional checking added to ensure maximum number of rows/columns <= 64
- one fix to the tile group code for when the number of tiles is not a power of two

PVQ has been broken again since the experiment flag for palette is removed
in commit c6300aa1.

As a fix, if PVQ is enabled then disable both of --tune-content=screen and
automatic detection of screen and use of palette coding tool.

Refactors and adds superres-mode 3 and associated
paramters --superres-qthresh and --superres-kf-qthresh
that are used to trigger superres mode when the qindex
for any frame exceeds the thresholds provided for non-key
and key-frames respenctively. The superres scale factor
numerator is progressively reduced from 16 starting from
that q threshold following a fixed slope.

Avoid changing the public API based on an experiment flag:

- Remove aom_config.h include from aom_image.h.
- Unconditionally include the existing API additions.
- Add some missing doc comments (silences Doxygen warnings).
- Return an error when using ctrl flags that require
  CONFIG_COLORSPACE_HEADERS when it's not enabled.
- Move colorspace_headers to the correct section of configure.
- Move CONFIG_COLORSPACE_HEADERS to the correct section of
  aom_config_defaults.cmake.
- clang-format style check appeasement

(Actual bodies of the options will be added in later separate commits)

Also, if --tune=cdef-dist or --tune=daala-dist,
enable-dist-8x8 is automatically turned on.

This commit is a part of prep-work to remove DIST_8X8, CDEF_DIST,

In av1/av1_cx_iface.c the encoder_encode function loops over calls made
to av1_get_compressed_data(). If the show_existing_frame flag is set,
the frame has already been flushed and the av1_twopass_postencode_update
function already incremented gf group index. The loop must exit, or else
the superframe might contain multiple shown frames. This causes a
mismatch in the test_decode function in that
av1_cx_iface.c:ctrl_get_new_frame_image will return the frame at
last_show_frame_buf_idx whereas, av1_dx_iface.c:ctrl_get_new_frame_image
will return cm->frame_to_show

Change-Id: I620a88ec7a44b057d5cce0bf6cf602822a3339a9

Added a 1-bit flag 'large_scale_tile'. If it is 0 that is the default value,
use normal tile coding in TILE_GROUPS. If it is 1, use large-scale tile
coding in EXT_TILE.

At large_scale_tile=1 case, if single-tile-decoding is required, then the
loopfilter is disabled.

Related API and unit tests were modified.

Adds a separate scale numerator for resize and superres scaling on

RESIZE_SCALE_DENOMINATOR and SUPERRES_SCALE_DENOMINATOR were two

This patch merges the two into SCALE_DENOMINATOR for simplicity's sake.

Change-Id: I1362dffceb8257cee539f92679d1e8d79df08e66

Adds "superres-mode" and "superres-numerator" arguments to configure
superres scaling.

There are only two modes right now: SUPERRES_FIXED and SUPERRES_DYNAMIC.
0 sets the fixed mode and 1 sets the dynamic mode.

For the fixed mode superres will scale to the provided numerator where
possible. The cumulative scale change over resizing and superres is
limited to 1/2, so it may have to back off.

For the dynamic mode, the provided numerator will be used as the initial
numerator. Asides from that it's just random for now.

Adds handling needed for the pre-encode downscaling for superres
encoding. Makes use of the existing resizing functionality, just
adjusting the target resolution after the resize logic and before the
resize has actually occurred.

Since the upscaling portion of superres is not yet implemented, superres
scaling is not yet allowed to trigger. The numerator is set to be equal
to the denominator and the superres_pending flag is not set.

This unit test was ported from VP9. To prevent the motion vector out of
range bug, added a motion vector unit test. In the 4k video encoding,
always forced to use extreme motion vectors and also encouraged to use
INTER modes. In the decoding, checked if the motion vector was valid,
and also checked the encoder/decoder mismatch.

Change-Id: I9455ebb3b5b23b41daa4afa1149672a20d3a3f2c

Added 2 tile encoding modes:
TILE_NORMAL mode supports the large-scale tile coding up to 1024 x 1024
tiles;
TILE_VR mode supports the large-scale tile coding and also the decoding
of a single tile.

TILE_NORMAL mode allows the non-vr content to be encoded in multiple tiles
without using the coding tool that are designed for vr applications.

kMinCompressedSize was defined as a global constant, so it
was exported by default and possibly causing duplicate
symbol issues for applications. In particular, libvpx also
exports this symbol.

Instead, move the definition into the only function which
references is. As a local variable it is hidden from the
linker and not part of the global symbol table.

The "good" speed levels are universally better than the "rt" ones,
running faster to achieve the same quality.

rt mode also turned off alt refs and lag-in-frames, but these
are still accessible separately (and the low latency test case
explicitly sets them).

Some features were used by the rt scale and not the good scale.
Two additional "good" levels, 7 and 8, were added to accomidate
these features and not reduce test coverage.

This commit implements support for twopass encoding using the xiphrc
experimental rate control system. Most of the code and logic comes
from the theora project encoder.

Currently support is limited to the bitrate targeting mode of the
rate control system and while it does visibly improve quality and does
bring rate closer to the target than the one pass mode there's still
tuning and bug fixing to be done.

Change-Id: Iae0d65bbce5ddfbb95b436e2238a43d6100a23b3

This commit implements a new rate control system which was ported from
Daala's rate control system (which was based off of Theora's rate
control system) to the encoder. Its aim is to address the weaknesses of
the current rate control system and eventually serve as its replacement.

This is still work in progress. So far this commit only implements
support for single pass encoding for constant quality and bitrate
targeting.
Additional commits which implement two-pass support and the rest to
match the feature set of the current rate control system are coming
soon.

The rate control system hasn't been fully tuned (and will likely need
additional tuning as the encoder's development progresses) and does
contain some "hacks", to convert the quality to a quantizer value
(empirical) and to tweak the quantizer in between golden frames (which
uses some code from the current rate control system as well as code
which attempts to model what that code does), the latter of which is
only in the constant quality codepath.

Bitrate targeting works much better than the current rate control
system's targeting and will actually closely match the rate specified by
the user without the current rate control system's bursty behaviour.
