These signals were in the uncompressed frame header (as a temporary
hack), which caused two problems:

* We don't want that header to be duplicated in the slice header
* It was necessary to signal the number of bits to transmit up front

However, the filter size can be 128x128 which is greater than the SB
size, and a decoder wouldn't be able to know whether to read a bit or
not until the final SB of that 128x128 block has been decoded
(depending on whether the 128x128 is all skip or not).  Therefore the
signalling was changed for 128x128 blocks so that every top left SB of
a 128x128 filter block contains a signal regardless of whether the
block is all skip or not.  Also, all the MB's of 128x128 block are
filtered even if they are skip MB's.  This gives the signal a purpose
even when the 128x128 block is all skip, and it also gives a slight
coding gain as it leaves a way to filter skip blocks, which was
previously forbidden.

Note: These were converted to #defines earlier to save on memory:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/269854/

But we, instead, use attribute 'packed' (see here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Type-Attributes.html#Common-Type-Attributes)
to ensure that these enums use the smallest possible integer type,
and so use smallest memory when used in structs/arrays etc.

Includes a major refactoring/enhancement to support
tile-adaptive switchable restoration. The framework can be
readily extended to add more restoration schemes in the
future. Also includes various cleanups and fixes.

Specifically the framework allows restoration to be conducted
on tiles such that each tile can be either left unrestored, or
use bilateral or wiener filtering.

There is a modest improvemnt in coding efficiency (0.1 - 0.2%).

Further enhancements will be added subsequently to improve coding
efficiency and complexity.

We have renamed following Macros to avoid name confusion:

REFS_PER_FRAME --> INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME
(= ALTREF_FRAME - LAST_FRAME + 1)
MAX_REF_FRAMES --> TOTAL_REFS_PER_FRAME
(= ALTREF_FRAME - INTRA_FRAME + 1)

INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME specifies the maximum number of reference frames
that each Inter frame may use.
TOTAL_REFS_PER_FRAME is equal to INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME + 1, which
counts the INTRA_FRAME.

Further, at the encoder side, since REF_FRAMES specifies the maximum
number of the reference frames that the encoder may store, REF_FRAMES
is usually larger than INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME. For example, in the
ext-refs experiment, REF_FRAMES == 8, which allows the encoder to
store maximum 8 reference frames in the buffer, but
INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME equals to 6, which allows each Inter frame may
use up to 6 frames out of the 8 buffered frames as its references.
Hence, in order to explore the possibility to store more reference
frames in future patches, we modified a couple of array sizes to
accomodate the case that the number of buffered reference frames is
not always equal to the number of the references that are being used
by each Inter frame.

This patch removed the experiment of BIDIR_PRED and merged the feature
into the experiment of EXT_REFS:

(1) Each frame now has up to 6 reference frames, namely
    LAST_FRAME, LAST2_FRAME, LAST3_FRAME, GOLDEN_FRAME, (forward) and
    BWDREF_FRAME, ALTREF_FRAME (backward);
    LAST4_FRAME has been removed;
(2) First pass still keeps the 8 updates:
    KF_UPDATE, LF_UPDATE, GF_UPDATE, ARF_UPDATE, OVERLAY_UPDATE, and
    BRF_UPDATE, LAST_BIPRED_UPDATE, BI_PRED_UPDATE;
(3) show_existing_frame==1 is supported in the experiment of EXT_REFS;
(4) New encoding modes are added for both single-ref and compound cases,
    through the use of the 2 extra forward references (LAST2 & LAST3)
    and the 1 extra backward reference (BWDREF).

(3) Added a new reference frame of BWDREF_FRAME;
(4) Have bwd-ref work with upsampled references.

The VP8_EFLAG_NO_UPD_LAST and VP8_EFLAG_NO_REF_LAST flags can be
passed to the encoder to signal that it should not update/reference
the LAST ref frame when encoding the current frame. With
--enable-ext-refs turned on, the new LAST2 LAST3 and LAST4 ref frames
could still be used or updated, which causes the
  VP10/ErrorResilienceTestLarge.DropFramesWithoutRecovery/{0,1,2}
tests to fail.

With this patch, if --enable-ext-refs is used, then
VP8_EFLAG_NO_UPD_LAST and VP8_EFLAG_NO_REF_LAST also applies to the
new LAST2 LAST3 and LAST4 ref frames, as well as the LAST ref frame.

The uncompressed frame header contains a bit to signal whether the
frame is encoded using 64x64 or 128x128 superblocks. This can vary
between any 2 frames.

vpxenc gained the --sb-size={64,128,dynamic} option, which allows the
configuration of the superblock size used (default is dynamic). 64/128
will force the encoder to always use the specified superblock size.
Dynamic would enable the encoder to choose the sb size for each
frame, but this is not implemented yet (dynamic does the same as 128
for now).

Constraints on tile sizes depend on the superblock size, the following
is a summary of the current bitstream syntax and semantics:

If both --enable-ext-tile is OFF and --enable-ext-partition is OFF:
     The tile coding in this case is the same as VP9. In particular,
     tiles have a minimum width of 256 pixels and a maximum width of
     4096 pixels. The tile width must be multiples of 64 pixels
     (except for the rightmost tile column). There can be a maximum
     of 64 tile columns and 4 tile rows.

If --enable-ext-tile is OFF and --enable-ext-partition is ON:
     Same constraints as above, except that tile width must be
     multiples of 128 pixels (except for the rightmost tile column).

There is no change in the bitstream syntax used for coding the tile
configuration if --enable-ext-tile is OFF.

If --enable-ext-tile is ON and --enable-ext-partition is ON:
     This is the new large scale tile coding configuration. The
     minimum/maximum tile width and height are 64/4096 pixels. Tile
     width and height must be multiples of 64 pixels. The uncompressed
     header contains two 6 bit fields that hold the tile width/heigh
     in units of 64 pixels. The maximum number of tile rows/columns
     is only limited by the maximum frame size of 65536x65536 pixels
     that can be coded in the bitstream. This yields a maximum of
     1024x1024 tile rows and columns (of 64x64 tiles in a 65536x65536
     frame).

If both --enable-ext-tile is ON and --enable-ext-partition is ON:
     Same applies as above, except that in the bitstream the 2 fields
     containing the tile width/height are in units of the superblock
     size, and the superblock size itself is also coded in the bitstream.
     If the uncompressed header signals the use of 64x64 superblocks,
     then the tile width/height fields are 6 bits wide and are in units
     of 64 pixels. If the uncompressed header signals the use of 128x128
     superblocks, then the tile width/height fields are 5 bits wide and
     are in units of 128 pixels.

The above is a summary of the bitstream. The user interface to vpxenc
(and the equivalent encoder API) behaves a follows:

If --enable-ext-tile is OFF:
     No change in the user interface. --tile-columns and --tile-rows
     specify the base 2 logarithm of the desired number of tile columns
     and tile rows. The actual number of tile rows and tile columns,
     and the particular tile width and tile height are computed by the
     codec ensuring all of the above constraints are respected.

If --enable-ext-tile is ON, but --enable-ext-partition is OFF:
     No change in the user interface. --tile-columns and --tile-rows
     specify the WIDTH and HEIGHT of the tiles in unit of 64 pixels.
     The valid values are in the range [1, 64] (which corresponds to
     [64, 4096] pixels in increments of 64.

If both --enable-ext-tile is ON and --enable-ext-partition is ON:
     If --sb-size=64 (default):
         The user interface is the same as in the previous point.
         --tile-columns and --tile-rows specify tile WIDTH and HEIGHT,
         in units of 64 pixels, in the range [1, 64] (which corresponds
         to [64, 4096] pixels in increments of 64).
     If --sb-size=128 or --sb-size=dynamic:
         --tile-columns and --tile-rows specify tile WIDTH and HEIGHT,
         in units of 128 pixels in the range [1, 32] (which corresponds
         to [128, 4096] pixels in increments of 128).

If configured with --enable-ext-tile, the codec uses an alternative
tile coding syntax in the bitstream. Changes include::
 - The maximum number of tile rows and columns is extended to 1024
   each.
 - The minimum tile width/height is 64 pixels (1 superblock).
 - A tile copy mode is added where a tile directly reuse the coded
   data of a previous tile
 - The meaning of the tile-columns and tile-rows codec parameters are
   overloaded to mean tile-width and tile-height in units of 64
   pixels.
 - All tiles should now be independent, including rows within the
   same columns, so large scale parallel, or independent decoding is
   possible.
 - vpxdec also gained the options to decode only a particular tile,
   tile row, or tile column.

Changes without --enable-ext-tile:
 - All tiles should now be independent, including rows within the
   same columns, so large scale parallel, or independent decoding is
   possible.
 - vpxenc default tile configuration changed to use 1 tile column.
