Reuse inter prediction result in real-time speed 6
In real-time speed 6, no partition search is done. The inter
prediction results got from picking mode can be reused in the
following encoding process. A speed feature reuse_inter_pred_sby
is added to only enable the resue in speed 6.
This patch doesn't change encoding result. RTC set tests showed
that the encoding speed gain is 2% - 5%.

Fix test on maximum downscaling limits
There is a normative scaling range of (x1/2, x16)
for VP9. This patch fixes the maximum downscaling
tests that are applied in the convolve function.
The code used a maximum downscaling limit of x1/5
for historic reasons related to the scalable
coding work. Since the downsampling in this
application is non-normative it will revert to
using a separate non-normative scaler.

Fix some bugs relating to the use of buffers

Experiment for mid group second arf.
This patch implements a mechanism for inserting a second
arf at the mid position of arf groups.
It is currently disabled by default using the flag multi_arf_enabled.
Results are currently down somewhat in initial testing if
multi-arf is enabled. Most of the loss is attributable to the
fact that code to preserve the previous golden frame
(in the arf buffer) in cases where we are coding an overlay
frame, is currently disabled in the multi-arf case.

Allocate buffers based on correct chroma format
The encoder currently allocates frame buffers before
it establishes what the chroma sub-sampling factor is,
always allocating based on the 4:4:4 format.
This patch detects the chroma format as early as
possible allowing the encoder to allocate buffers of
the correct size.
Future patches will change the encoder to allocate
frame buffers on demand to further reduce the memory
profile of the encoder and rationalize the buffer
management in the encoder and decoder.

error check vp9 superframe parsing
This patch insures that the last byte of a chunk that contains a
valid superframe marker byte, actually has a proper superframe index.
If not it returns an error.
As part of doing that the file : vp90-2-15-fuzz-flicker.webm now fails
to decode properly and moves to the invalid file test from the test
vector suite.

Introduce FrameWorker for decoding.
When decoding in serial mode, there will be only
one FrameWorker doing decoding. When decoding in
parallel mode, there will be several FrameWorkers
doing decoding in parallel.
The code properly catches an invalid stream but seg faults instead of
returning an error due to a buffer not having been initialized. This
code fixes that.

Validate error checking code in decoder.
This patch adds a mechanism for insuring error checking on invalid files
by creating a unit test that runs the decoder and tests that the error
code matches what's expected on each frame in the decoder.
Disabled for now as this unit test will segfault with existing code.

Add superframe support for frame parallel decoding.
A superframe is a bunch of frames that bundled as one frame. It is mostly
used to combine one or more non-displayable frames and one displayable frame.
For frame parallel decoding, libvpx decoder will only support decoding one
normal frame or a super frame with superframe index.
If an application pass a superframe without superframe index or a chunk
of displayable frames without superframe index to libvpx decoder, libvpx
will not decode it in frame parallel mode. But libvpx decoder still could
decode it in serial mode.

Modify non-rd intra mode checking
Speed 6 uses small tx size, namely 8x8. max_intra_bsize needs to

This also changes speed -5 encoding by allowing DC_PRED checking

Separate rate-distortion modeling for DC and AC coefficients
