Support for gyp which doesn't support multiple objects in the same
static library having the same basename.

there are still a couple type of warning left, which are related to
double constants assigned to float type. As those would be addressed
by the conversion of transforms into integer version. This commit
has left those un-dealt with.

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

Merge the extended Q experiment as indicated by the

Cleanup and switch to Q extended at low end too.

Change-Id: Ie22676bb9e961097d75dbd1d81745208b63e5f4b

This commit extends the number of Q steps to 256 from 128.
The q_trans[] array has been altered to distribute available Q index values
(using the current 64 steps available as input parameters) evenly across the
available range. This is coupled with the fact that each Q step where possible
now equates to a fixed % change in the quantizer. This may want refinement
later especially in terms of the granularity at the high quality end but is a
reasonable starting point.

Change-Id: I2aaa6874fa10ce05c958dd182947ce39f6f1eecb

High Q end extended a little.
Some clean up.

Slightly better on SSIM, Slightly worse on PSNR over derf set.

Change-Id: I3dceea8a39e11c26e1a389a40e40b86efc76d28c

Added code to support 256 index steps instead of 128 but disabled for now.
Replace hard wired table vp8cx_base_skip_false_prob[128]
Observed Qindex problem with setting minimum loop filter value.
(Experiment code using real Q in place but for now just returning 0. This has a big
beneficial effect on some clips, particularly waterfall which shows 5% ssim gain)

Change-Id: I2f7117de8adc1797164c106aa13effc900a1467e

Experiment with old Q range but new higher precision quantizer
and transform code.

Change-Id: Id1ff4cb433e5775d709d0133e2aec0322975c292

Fixed some further QIndex related issues and replaced some tables
(eg zbin and rounding)

Also Added function (currently disabled by default) to populate the
main AC and DC quantizer tables. Using the original AC range the
resulting computed DC values give behavior broadly comparable
on the DERF set. That is not to say that the equations will hold good
over a more extended range. The purpose of this code is to make it
easier to experiment with further alterations to the Q range and distribution
of Q values plus the relative weights given to AC and DC.

The function find_fp_qindex() ensures that changes to the Q tables
are reflected in the value passed in to the first pass code.

Slight experimental adjustment to static segment Q offset.

Change-Id: I36186267d55dfc2a3d565d0cff7218ef300d1cd5

Fixed bug in firspass.c call to vp8_initialize_rd_consts()

This was passing in vp8_dc_quant(cm->base_qindex, cm->y1dc_delta_q)
 instead of (cm->base_qindex + cm->y1dc_delta_q).

It just so happens that for the value 26 used for cm->base_qindex in the
unextended Q case,  the two give similar results. However, when using
the extended Q range the two are very different.

Also added more stats output and partly disabled another broken feature.

Change-Id: Iddf6cf5ea8467c44b7c133f38e629f6ba6f2581e

Corrected dc lookup table to maintain ac/dc balance
close to what it was previously.

Firstpass not being passed the adjusted Q index for
the extended range.

Prior to this change, VP8 min quantizer is 4, which caps the
highest quality around 51DB. This experimental change extends
the min quantizer to 1, removes the cap and allows the highest
quality to be around ~73DB, consistent with the fdct/idct round trip
error. To test this change, at configure time use options:

--enable-experimental --enable-extend_qrange

The following is a brief log of changes in each of the patch sets

patch set 1:
In this commit, the quantization/dequantization constants are kept
unchanged, instead scaling factor 4 is rolled into fdct/idct.
Fixed Q0 encoding tests on mobile:
  Before:    9560.567kbps Overall PSNR:50.255DB VPXSSIM:98.288
  Now:   18035.774kbps Overall PSNR:73.022DB VPXSSIM:99.991

patch set 2:
regenerated dc/ac quantizer lookup tables based on the scaling
factor rolled in the fdct/idct. Also slightly extended the range
towards the high quantizer end.

patch set 3:
slightly tweaked the quantizer tables and generated bits_per_mb
table based on Paul's suggestions.

patch set 4:
fix a typo in idct, re-calculated tables relating active max Q
to active min Q

patch set 5:
added rdmult lookup table based on Q

patch set 6:
fix rdmult scale: dct coefficient has scaled up by 4

patch set 7:
make transform coefficients to be within 16bits

patch set 8:
normalize 2nd order quantizers

patch set 9:
fix mis-spellings

patch set 10:
