Motion compensated reference refinement
This commit applies one-step refinement search to the resulting
motion vector of the integral projectiion based motion estimation,

Re-distribute hierarchical vector match pattern
This commit modifies the hierarchical vector match patter. It

vp9_vector_sad_sse2 is called 12 times per 64x64 block, instead

Fix ssse3 quantize_fp functions while skip=1
In ssse3 functions, DEFINE_ARGS macro hard codes qcoeff and dqcoeff
to r3 and r4. If skip is 1, qcoeff and dqcoeff need to be loaded
from the stack, which doesn't work because of the above definitions.
Currently, skip=1 case is not used in the encoder. This patch fixed
the issue, so it can be turned on later.

Account for rate error in GF group Q calculation.
When GF group adaptive maxQ is enabled this patch accounts
somewhat for accumulated error in the rate control.
This improves accuracy quite a bit on many clips especially
when there is overshoot.
Examples when the overshoot and undershoot command line
parameters are set to 100:
Hall @ 1200 overshoot is reduced from 67-24%.
Akiyo @ 400 undershoot is reduced from 28%-15%.
Setting a lower value for undershoot or overshoot still
reduces the error further.
Impact on metrics is mixed with some gains in average psnr
but generally a little lower (e.g. 0.5%) on overall and ssim.
The GF group adaptation is still off by default in this patch.
Compared to with the head, enabling this mode now gives
big average psnr gains on the YT sets (e.g. YT_HD >11.2%),
a drop in overall PSNR (YT-HD 3.9%) and a smaller drop or
neutral for SSIM.

Improve skip_txfm thresholds in the non-rd mode selection
Modified the thresholds of deciding whether or not to skip

Integral projection based motion estimation
This commit introduces a new block match motion estimation
using integral projection measurement. The 2-D block and the nearby
region is projected onto the horizontal and vertical 1-D vectors,
respectively. It then runs vector match, instead of block match,
over the two separate 1-D vectors to locate the motion compensated
reference block.
This process is run per 64x64 block to align the reference before
choosing partitioning in speed 6. The overall CPU cycle cost due
to this additional 64x64 block match (SSE2 version) takes around 2%
at low bit-rate rtc speed 6. When strong motion activities exist in
the video sequence, it substantially improves the partition
selection accuracy, thereby achieving better compression performance
and lower CPU cycles.
The experiments were tested in RTC speed -6 setting:

17006 b/f, 37.086 dB, 5386 ms ->

There is a corner case that when a frame is corrupted, the following

Fix an encoder/decode mismatch bug
This commit prevent the encoder to update last_frame_type when a frame
is dropped in the encoder. Prior to this fix, if there is a dropped
frame immediatedly after a key frame, decoder would have the value of
last_frame_type as key frame, different from encoder as the dropped
frame in encoder would have updated the value to an inter frame. This
leads to different probability update in encoder and decoder, thereby
encoder/decoder mismatch.

Auto-adaptive encoder frame resizing logic
Note: This feature is still in development.
Add an option for the encoder to decide the resolution
at which to encode each frame.
Each KF/GF/ARF goup is tested to see if it would be
better encoded at a lower resolution. At present, each
KF/GF/ARF is coded first at full-size and if the coded
size exceeds a threshold (twice target data rate) at
the maximum active Q then the entire group is encoded
at lower resolution.
This feature is enabled in vpxenc by setting:
--resize-allowed=1
In addition, if the vpxenc command line also specifies
valid frame dimensions using:
--resize-width=XXXX & --resize_height=YYYY
then *all* frames will be encoded at this resolution.
