Wide loopfilter 16 pix at a time
Where possible, do the 16 pixel wide filter while doing the horizontal
filtering pass. The same approach can be taken for the mbloop_filter
when that's implemented. Doing so on the vertical pass is a little more
involved, but possible.

Fix tx_type bug in intra4x4 rd loop
This commit fixed the mis-use of the tx_type for inverse transform

Prunes out full-rd computation based on modeled rd
Adds a speed feature to eliminate full-rd computation if the modeled
rd or rd based on a different parameter in the same mode is already
a lot larger than the best rd yet.
Specifically, only search the sharp and smooth filters if the modeled
rd cost based on the regular filter is within a certain factor of the
best rd cost so far. Also, skip full-rd computation of non splitmv
inter modes if the modeled rd cost based on pred error is within the
same factor of the best rd cost so far.
Also adds some enhancements in the rd search for splitmv mode to
speed things up by early breakouts. Negligible impact on performance.
Resuts on derfraw300:
psnr: -0.013% with the splitmv enhancements, -0.24% with the rd
breakout feature on.
speedup: 6% with splitmv enhancements, 20% with also residual breakout
(tested on football sequence at 600 Kbps)

SSE2 16x16 ADST/DCT hybrid transform
This commit enables 16x16 ADST/DCT forward hybrid transform using SSE2

Add Neon horizontal and vertical vp9_mbloop_filter
- The vp9 mbfilter C code will branch on flat and mask. This CL
will perform both branches and combine the data. A later CL will
perform a check to see if all patch will take one branch.
- These functions are about 1.75 times faster than the C code on
Nexus 7.
PS #3
- Changed all functions to dub limit, blimit, and thresh from
vld {dx[]}, freeing up r4-r6.
- Changed code to use vbif to reduce one instruction and free
up a d register.
This probably has a mildly negative impact on performance, but will
(in future commits - or possibly merged with this one) allow SIMD
implementations of individual intra prediction functions. We may
perhaps want to consider having separate functions per txfm-size
also (i.e. 4x4, 8x8, 16x16 and 32x32 intra prediction functions for
each intra prediction mode), but I haven't played much with that
yet.

Fix loopfilter bug
In the rare case were 4x4 interior filtering was called for but no
8x8 or larger filtering takes place, the previous code was skipping
the filtering. This patch fixes the issue by including the interior
mask in the overall mask for the filter application loops.
Don't call encode_sb() for the final of 4-split subpartitions.
The resulting reconstruction is never used, thus it just wastes CPU
cycles. Reduces encode time of first 50 frames of bus (speed 0) @
1500kbps from 2min2.0 to 2min1.2, i.e. a 0.65% overall speedup.
Encode time for first 50 frames of bus (speed 0) @ 1500kbps goes from
2min10.9 to 2min10.5, i.e. 0.3% faster overall, basically because we
prevent the call overhead.
Don't recalculate mv_ref costs for each block/partition.
Changes cost_mv_ref() into doing a LUT into pre-calculated cost
arrays instead. Encode time of first 50 frames of bus (speed 0)
@ 1500kbps goes from 2min11.6 to 2min10.9, i.e. 0.5% faster overall.
Make frame-wide filter-type decision fully RD-based.
Overall, on all test sets, this gains about +0.2% on all metrics.
City is a clip where this really hurts (-1.0% on all metrics), I'm
not quite sure why yet. Maybe interesting to look into in the future.

Implements several heuristics to prune mode search
Skips mode searches for intra and compound inter modes depending
on the best mode so far and the reference frames. The various
heuristics to be used are selected by bits from a flag. The
previous direction based intra mode search pruning is also absorbed
in this framework.
Specifically the flags and their impact are:
1) FLAG_SKIP_INTRA_BESTINTER (skip intra mode search for oblique
directional modes and TM_PRED if the best so far is
an inter mode)
derfraw300: -0.15%, 10% speedup
2) FLAG_SKIP_INTRA_DIRMISMATCH (skip D27, D63, D117 and D153
mode search if the best so far is not one of the closest
hor/vert/diagonal directions.
derfraw300: -0.05%, about 9% speedup
3) FLAG_SKIP_COMP_BESTINTRA (skip compound prediction mode
search if the best so far is an intra mode)
derfraw300: -0.06%, about 7-8% speedup
4) FLAG_SKIP_COMP_REFMISMATCH (skip compound prediction search
if the best single ref inter mode does not have the same ref
as one of the two references being tested in the compound mode)
derfraw300: -0.56%, about 10% speedup
intermediate_height for horizontal filtering must be at least 8
pixels to be able to do vertical filtering correctly. Currently
it can be less for small block and y_step_q4 sizes.

Enable early termination in rd search
This commit allows encoder to detect the cumulative rate-distortion
cost per transformed block inside a partition. If the cumulative
rd cost is already above the best rd value, it terminates the rest
operations and continue to next prediction mode test.
It reduces the runtime of bus at target bit-rate 2000 from 308 second
to 266 second, i.e., about 13% speed-up at no performance penalty.

Added two new skip experiments.
sf->unused_mode_skip_lvl. Tests modes as normal for all
sizes at or below the given level. At larger sizes it skips
all modes that were not chosen at any smaller size.
Hence setting BLOCK_SIZE_SB64X64 is in effect off.
Setting BLOCK_SIZE_AB4X4 will only consider modes that
were chosen for one or more 4x4 blocks at larger sizes.
sf->reference_masking.
Do a test encode of the NONE partition at one size and create
a reference frame mask based on the best rd choice. In the
full search only allow this reference frame.
Currently it is testing 64x64 and repeats this in the full search.
This does not work well with Jim's Partition code just now and
is disabled by default.
