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.

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).

RD performance wise, using Overall PSNR: Avg/BDRate
        Bipred only      Prev EXT_REFS    Current EXT_REFS with bipred
lowres: -3.474/-3.324    -1.748/-1.586    -4.613/-4.387
derflr: -2.097/-1.353    -1.439/-1.215    -3.120/-2.252
midres: -2.129/-1.901    -1.345/-1.185    -2.898/-2.636

If in vp10/encoder/firstpass.h, change BFG_INTERVAL from 2 to 3, i.e. to
use 2 bi-predictive frames than 1, a further improvement may be
obtained:
                 Current EXT_REFS with bipred
        1 bi-predictive frame    2 bi-predictive frames
lowres: -4.613/-4.387            -4.675/-4.465

Change-Id: I15d54a3ae48b2b33082668116792c6595bdb3ddb

Major parts have been implemented as follows:
(1) Added BRF_UPDATE, LASTNRF_UPDATE, and NRF_UPDATE in firstpass.c;
(2) Added the handling for the scenario of
"cpi->common.show_existing_frame == 1" at the encoder;
(3) Added a new reference frame of BWDREF_FRAME;
(4) Have bwd-ref work with upsampled references.

Note that when the experiment of "ext_refs" turned on, this experiment
will be turned off automatically currently.

RD performance in Overall PSNR has been improved, compared against the
VP10 baseline:

lowres: Avg -3.312; BDRate -3.154
derflr: Avg -1.927; BDRate -1.176
midres: Avg -2.149; BDRate -2.001
hdres : Avg -0.567; BDRate -0.588

This commit reworks the probability model contexts used in the
prediction filter type entropy coding.

Change-Id: I7abc68cb469248d0d7ca1046da3c086ecb7b066a

Increases number of wedges for smaller block and removes
wedge coding mode for blocks larger than 32x32.

Also adds various other enhancements for subsequent experimentation,
including adding provision for multiple smoothing functions
(though one is used currently), adds a speed feature that decides
the sign for interinter wedges using a fast mechanism, and refactors
wedge representations.

lowres: -2.651% BDRATE

Most of the gain is due to increase in codebook size for 8x8 - 16x16.

Change-Id: I50669f558c8d0d45e5a6f70aca4385a185b58b5b

Change-Id: I716e3392412d02c56f9395a86c9cab02f580fa59

Removes integer divides from backward updates for VP10.
Currently this is put in as part of the entropy experiment.
Coding efficiency change is in the noise level.

lowres: improves by 0.1%

Change-Id: I245019916bf47c6e24bc8c3953b86715ab0193c9

Reduce transform set for intra for 8x8 and smalller to 7 from 12.
Also fixes an issue with prob updates.

Enocder Speed-up about 8-10%

Coding efficiency very little change.
lowres: -2.996 (from -3.055 before)
midres: -2.482 (from -2.552 before)

Change-Id: I4ba50ff967521b33c748fe423bd92f7cf4105ebc

Speed increase for ext-tx by 20% for a BDRATE drop of 0.26%.
The ext-tx expt becomes -2.66% BDRATE (reduced from -2.92%) for
the lowres set.

It turns out that reducing the set of transforms for intra from
12 to 5 makes very little difference in coding performance (~0.04%).
Most of the performance drop comes from the reduction is transform
set for inter. Currently there is a provision to control that with
a macro.

Decouples interintra modes and probability models from regular
intra modes, to enable creating/optimizing new interintra modes.
Also, fixes interpolation values for 128x128 interintra and obmc.

Change-Id: I5c2016db49b8f029164e5fe84c6274d4e02ff90e

If --enable-ext-partition is used at build time, the superblock size
(sometimes also referred to as coding unit (CU) size) is extended to
128x128 pixels.

Change-Id: Ie09cec6b7e8d765b7555ff5d80974aab60803f3a

This has been ported under ext_partition_types because it is due
to be combined with the coding_unit_size experiment which is
already being ported under ext_partition

Change-Id: I47af869ae123ddf0aa99160dac644059d14266ee

Makes a set of 16 transforms total, adding all 1D
combinations of ADST and FlipADST, and removng all DST
transforms.

lowres, midres both improve by about 0.1% and hdres by
-0.378% in BDRATE but with fewer transforms that are also
simpler.

Further experiments to continue later.

This commit enables a hybrid 1-D/2-D transform coding scheme and
the accompany entropy coding system. It currently uses hybrid
1-D/2-D DCT transform coding. It provides coding performance gains:

lowres_all  0.55%
hdres_all   0.43%

Change-Id: I2b30dcafd21eb2bb3371f6e854cbab440a4dfa78

Includes various cosmetic changes and refactoring including
naming the sharp filters differently (since they are no longer
8-tap).
