There are flaws in current implementation of VP8 multithreading encoder
and decoder as reported in the following issue:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=158922

Although the data race warnings are harmless, and wouldn't cause real
problems while encoding and decoding videos, it is better to fix the
warnings so that VP8 code could pass the TSan test.

To synchronize the thread-shared data access and maintain the speed
(i.e. decoding speed), use multiple mutexes based on mb_rows to reduce
the number of synchronizations needed, make the reads and writes of
the shared data protected, and reduce the number of mb_col writes by
nsync times.

The decoder speed tests showed < 3% speed loss while using 2 ~ 4
threads.

This is a code snapshot of experimental work currently ongoing for a
next-generation codec.

The codebase has been cut down considerably from the libvpx baseline.
For example, we are currently only supporting VBR 2-pass rate control
and have removed most of the code relating to coding speed, threading,
error resilience, partitions and various other features.  This is in
part to make the codebase easier to work on and experiment with, but
also because we want to have an open discussion about how the bitstream
will be structured and partitioned and not have that conversation
constrained by past work.

Our basic working pattern has been to initially encapsulate experiments
using configure options linked to #IF CONFIG_XXX statements in the
code. Once experiments have matured and we are reasonably happy that
they give benefit and can be merged without breaking other experiments,
we remove the conditional compile statements and merge them in.

Current changes include:
* Temporal coding experiment for segments (though still only 4 max, it
  will likely be increased).
* Segment feature experiment - to allow various bits of information to
  be coded at the segment level. Features tested so far include mode
  and reference frame information, limiting end of block offset and
  transform size, alongside Q and loop filter parameters, but this set
  is very fluid.
* Support for 8x8 transform - 8x8 dct with 2nd order 2x2 haar is used
  in MBs using 16x16 prediction modes within inter frames.
* Compound prediction (combination of signals from existing predictors
  to create a new predictor).
* 8 tap interpolation filters and 1/8th pel motion vectors.
* Loop filter modifications.
* Various entropy modifications and changes to how entropy contexts and
  updates are handled.
* Extended quantizer range matched to transform precision improvements.

There are also ongoing further experiments that we hope to merge in the
near future: For example, coding of motion and other aspects of the
prediction signal to better support larger image formats, use of larger
block sizes (e.g. 32x32 and up) and lossless non-transform based coding
options (especially for key frames). It is our hope that we will be
able to make regular updates and we will warmly welcome community
contributions.

Please be warned that, at this stage, the codebase is currently slower
than VP8 stable branch as most new code has not been optimized, and
even the 'C' has been deliberately written to be simple and obvious,
not fast.

The following graphs have the initial test results, numbers in the
tables measure the compression improvement in terms of percentage. The
build has  the following optional experiments configured:
--enable-experimental --enable-enhanced_interp --enable-uvintra
--enable-high_precision_mv --enable-sixteenth_subpel_uv

For the experimental branch we are trying to slim the codebase
down removing features such as threading for now which complicate
the process of development and testing.

The existing emulation of posix semaphores on Windows uses SetEvent()
and WaitForSingleObject(), which implements a binary semaphore, not a
counting semaphore as implemented by posix. This causes deadlock when
used with the expected posix semantics. Instead, this patch uses the
CreateSemaphore() and ReleaseSemaphore() calls (introduced in Windows
2000) which have the expected behavior.

This patch also reverts commit eb16f00c, which split a semaphore that
was being used with counting semantics into two binary semaphores.
That commit is unnecessary with corrected emulation.

This is reported by m...@hesotech.de (see issue 312):
"The decoder causes an access violation
when you decode the first frame, then make a pause of about
60 seconds and then decode further frames. But only if
vpx_codec_dec_cfg_t.threads> 1.

This is caused by a timeout of WaitForSingleObject.
When I change the definition of VPXINFINITE to INFINITE(0xFFFFFFFF),
the problem is solved."

Reproduced the crash and verified the changes on Windows platform.
This brings the behavior inline with the other platforms using sem_wait().

Adds following targets to configure script to support RVCT compilation
without operating system support (for Profiler or bare metal images).
 - armv5te-none-rvct
 - armv6-none-rvct
 - armv7-none-rvct

To strip OS specific parts from the code "os_support"-config was added
to script and CONFIG_OS_SUPPORT flag is used in the code to exclude OS
specific parts such as OS specific includes and function calls for
timers and threads etc. This was done to enable RVCT compilation for
profiling purposes or running the image on bare metal target with
Lauterbach.

Removed separate AREA directives for READONLY data in armv6 and neon
assembly files to fix the RVCT compilation. Otherwise
"ldr <reg>, =label" syntax would have been needed to prevent linker
errors. This syntax is not supported by older gnu assemblers.

This eliminates a large set of warnings exposed by the Mozilla build
 system (Use of C++ comments in ISO C90 source, commas at the end of
 enum lists, a couple incomplete initializers, and signed/unsigned
 comparisons).
It also eliminates many (but not all) of the warnings expose by newer
 GCC versions and _FORTIFY_SOURCE (e.g., calling fread and fwrite
 without checking the return values).
There are a few spurious warnings left on my system:

../vp8/encoder/encodemb.c:274:9: warning: 'sz' may be used
 uninitialized in this function
gcc seems to be unable to figure out that the value shortcut doesn't
 change between the two if blocks that test it here.

../vp8/encoder/onyx_if.c:5314:5: warning: comparison of unsigned
 expression >= 0 is always true
../vp8/encoder/onyx_if.c:5319:5: warning: comparison of unsigned
 expression >= 0 is always true
This is true, so far as it goes, but it's comparing against an enum,
 and the C standard does not mandate that enums be unsigned, so the
 checks can't be removed.
