The get_y_mode function, is superfluous, not used consistently, and requires a
useless block_idx parameter than gets pass around a lot inside the
codebase for no apparent reason.

The block parameter is misleading, as it could cause people to think all these
functions actually use this value.

cb4x4 itself should not require these sizes.

This simplifies compatibility with other experiments, since we can
first make them work with cb4x4 (which is now on by default), and
then worry about chroma_sub8x8 and chroma_2x2 (which is not) in
separate steps.

Encoder and decoder output should remain unchanged.

reset_skip_context() was always clearing the entropy contexts for
all three color planes, using a block size that corresponded with
the luma plane.

However, when chroma_2x2 is disabled, then for sub-8x8 luma block
sizes, the corresponding chroma block size is always 4x4, and the
skip flag only affects the chroma blocks corresponding to the
upper-left luma block.

This patch makes reset_skip_context() reset the contexts that
actually correspond to the chroma blocks that are skipped (if any).
It also moves reset_skip_context() to av1_reset_skip_context() in
blockd.c, because blockd.h gets included before onyx_int.h, which
declares the required is_chroma_reference() function.
reset_skip_context() was too large and used in too many places to
be a reasonable candidate for inlining, anyway.

AWCY results on objective-1-fast:

* code the palette color index using 45 wavefront
* interleave the coeff and palette color index in
  transform block level
* the above change does not change code efficiency

Details: 
The 45 wavefront scan allows to compute the ctx of
the diagonal samples' indices  at the same time. 
Interleaving palette indices and palette residual
on a transform block basis means that the entropy
 decoding and further processing of the palette 
residual is not delayed by the entropy decoding 
of all the color indices of the palette encoded 
block.

This commit adds a new experiment, Daala's distortion function,
which is designed to better approximate perceptual distortion
in 8x8 pixel blocks.

This experiment is expected to work best with PVQ.

It measures the variance of overlapped 4x4 regions in the 8x8 area,
then uses these variances to scale the MSE of weighted frequency domain
distortion of 8x8 block.

Since AV1 calculates distortion in blocks as small as 4x4, it is not possible to
directly replace the existing distortion functions of AV1,
such as dist_block() and block_rd_txf().
Hence, there has been substantial changes in order to apply
Daala's 8x8 distortion function.
The daala distortion function is applied
after all 4x4 tx blocks in a 8x8 block are encoded (during RDO),
as in below two cases:
1) intra/inter sub8x8 predictions and
2) 4x4 transform with prediction size >= 8.

To enable this experiment, add '--enable-daala-dist' with configure.

TODO: Significant tuning of parameters is required since the function has
originally came from Daala thus most parameters would not work
correctly outside Daala.
The fact that chroma distortion is added to the distortion of AV1's RDO is
also critical since Daala's distortion function is applied to luma only
and chroma continues to use MSE.
