The high-precision (1/8) pel bit is turned off if the reference
MV is larger than a threshold. The motivation for this patch is
the intuition that if motion is likely large (as indicated by
the reference), there is likley to be more motion blur, and as
a result 1/8 pel precision would be wasteful both in rd sense
as well as computationally.

The feature is incorporated as part of the newmventropy experiment.
There is a modest RD improvement with the patch. Overall the
results with the newmventropy experiment with the threshold being
16 integer pels are:

derf: +0.279%
std-hd: +0.617%
hd: +1.299%
yt: +0.822%

With threshold 8 integer pels are:

derf: +0.295%
std-hd: +0.623%
hd: +1.365%
yt: +0.847%

Patch: rebased
Patch: rebase fixes

Change-Id: I4ed14600df3c457944e6541ed407cb6e91fe428b

Adds a new experiment with redesigned/refactored motion vector entropy
coding. The patch also takes a first step towards separating the
integer and fractional pel components of a MV. However the fractional
pel encoding still depends on the integer pel part and so they are
not fully independent. Further experiments are in progress to see
how much they can be decoupled without affecting performance.
All components including entropy coding/decoding, costing for MV
search, forward updates and backward updates to probability tables,
have been implemented.

Results so far:
derf: +0.19%
std-hd: +0.28%
yt: +0.80%
hd: +1.15%

Patch: Simplifies the fractional pel models:
derf: +0.284%

Patch: Some changes in the models, rebased.

Change-Id: I894e8b509a2bb88557f9aba6f226ed7807745065

Allows for swtiching/setting interpolation filters at the MB
level. A frame level flag indicates whether to use a specifc
filter for the entire frame or to signal the interpolation
filter for each MB. When switchable filters are used, the
encoder chooses between 8-tap and 8-tap sharp filters. The
code currently has options to explore other variations as well,
which will be cleaned up subsequently.

One issue with the framework is that encoding is slow. I
tried to do some tricks to speed things up but it is still slow.
Decoding speed should not be affected since the number of
filter taps remain unchanged.

With the current version, we are up 0.5% on derf on average but
some videos city/mobile improve by close to 4 and 2% respectively.
If we did a full-search by turning the SEARCH_BEST_FILTER flag
on, the results are somewhat better.

The framework can be combined with filtered prediction, and I
seek feedback regarding that.

Rebased.

This patch incorporates adaptive entropy coding of coefficient tokens,
and mode/mv information based on distributions encountered in a frame.
Specifically, there is an initial forward update to the probabilities
in the bitstream as before for coding the symbols in the frame, however
at the end of decoding each frame, the forward update to the
probabilities is reverted and instead the probabilities are updated
towards the actual distributions encountered within the frame.
The amount of update is weighted by the number of hits within each
context.

Results on derf/hd/std-hd are all up by 1.6%.

On derf, the most of the gains come from coefficients, however for the
hd and std-hd sets, the most of the gains come from the mode/mv
information updates.

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

This is the first patch for refactoring of the code related to
high-precision mv, so that 1/4 and 1/8 pel motion vectors can
co-exist in the same bit-stream by use of a frame level flag.
The current patch works fine for only use of 1/4th and
only use of 1/8th pel mv, but there are some issues with the
mode switching in between. Subsequent patches on this change Id
will fix the remaining issues.

Patch 2: Adds fixes to make sure that multiple mv precisions can
co-exist in the bit-stream. Frame level switching has been tested
to work correctly.

Patch 3: Fixes lines exceeding 80 char

Patch 4:
http://www.corp.google.com/~debargha/vp8_results/enhinterp.html

Results on derf after ssse3 bugfix, compared to everything
enabled but the 8-tap, 1/8-subpel and 1/16-subpel uv. Overall the
gains are about 3% now. Hopefully there are no more bugs lingering.
Apparently the sse3 bug affected the quartel subpel results more than
the eighth pel ones (which is understandabale because one bad predictor
due to the bug, matters less if there are a lot more subpel options
available as in the 1/8 subpel case).
The results in the 4th column correspond to the current settings.
The first two columns correspond to two settings of adaptive switching
of the 1/4 or 1/8 subpel mode based on initial Q estimate. These
do not work as good as just using 1/8 all the time yet.

This is the initial patch for supporting 1/8th pel
motion. Currently if we configure with enable-high-precision-mv,
all motion vectors would default to 1/8 pel. Encode and
decode syncs fine with the current code. In the next phase
the code will be refactored so that we can choose the 1/8
pel mode adaptively at a frame/segment/mb level.

Derf results:
http://www.corp.google.com/~debargha/vp8_results/enhinterp_hpmv.html
(about 0.83% better than 8-tap interpoaltion)

Patch 3: Rebased. Also adding 1/16th pel interpolation for U and V

Patch 4: HD results.
http://www.corp.google.com/~debargha/vp8_results/enhinterp_hd_hpmv.html
Seems impressive (unless I am doing something wrong).

Patch 5: Added mmx/sse for bilateral filtering, as well as enforced
use of c-versions of subpel filters with 8-taps and 1/16th pel;
Also redesigned the 8-tap filters to reduce the cut-off in order to
introduce a denoising effect. There is a new configure option
sixteenth-subpel-uv which will use 1/16 th pel interpolation for
uv, if the motion vectors have 1/8 pel accuracy.

With the fixes the results are promising on the derf set. The enhanced
interpolation option with 8-taps alone gives 3% improvement over thei
derf set:
http://www.corp.google.com/~debargha/vp8_results/enhinterpn.html

Results on high precision mv and on the hd set are to follow.

Patch 6: Adding a missing condition for CONFIG_SIXTEENTH_SUBPEL_UV in
vp8/common/x86/x86_systemdependent.c

Patch 7: Cleaning up various debug messages.

Patch 8: Merge conflict

MV sad cost error is only used in full-pixel motion search,
which only need full-pixel resolution instead of quarter-pixel
resolution. This change reduced mvsadcost table size, and
removed unneccessary pamameter passing since this table is
constant once it is generated.
