Reland "Add ROI support for VP9."
Extended ROI struct suitable for VP9.
ROI input from user is passed into internal struct and applied on every frame
(except key frame).
Enabled usage of all 4 VP9 segment features (delta_qp, delta_lf, skip,
ref_frame) via the ROI map input.
Made changes to nonrd_pickmode for the ref_frame feature.
Only works for realtime speed >= 5.
AQ_MODE needs to be turned off for ROI to take effect.
Change example in the sample encoder: vpx_temporal_svc_encoder.c to be suitable
for VP9.
Add datarate test.

Fix issue for 0 target bitrate in multi-res build.
For encoding with --enable-multi-res-encoding, with 1 layer, when the
target bitrate is set 0, under these conditions null pointer
will be de-referenced. Fix is to check
cpi->oxcf.mr_total_resolutions > 1. Also added NULL pointer check.
This issue causes crash for asan build in chromium clusterfuzz.

vp9-svc: Add condition on allocation for scaled_temp.
scaled_temp frame is used as an intermediate buffer for
2 stage down-sampling: two stages of 1/2 down-sampling
for a target of 1/4x1/4. This is used in 3 layer SVC
to avoid duplicate frame downsampling (on middle layer).
As this allocation is only needed/used when the
number_spatial_layers > 2, add this condition to avoid
unneeded allocation for 1 and 2 spatial SVC.

vp9-svc: Fix to initialize downsampling filters.
For 3 spatial layers with 1/2 downsampling, the
downsampling filter for the middle layer was not
set for the very first frame, so it was defaulting
to the subsample filter (no averaging/phase = 0).
Its not set due to the two stage scaling that is
done for 1/4 on base layer, during which the intermediate
1/2 result is saved for the middle layer.
Fix for now is to set the default downsampling filter
to Bilinear (averaging/non-zero phase) for all layers on
init (vp9_init_layer_context):.

Further change to code detecting slide transitions.
Eliminate false positives in previous patch.
The previous patch did a good job of detecting slide transitions but
in discussions a number of situations were identified that might trigger
harmful false positives. This risk seems to be born out by some testing
on a wider YT set done by yclin@.
This patch adds an additional clause that requires that the best case
inter and intra error for the frame are very similar,meaning it is almost
as easy to code a key frame as an inter frame. This will certainly prevent
the false positive conditions that Jim and I discussed and even if one
does occur it should not be very damaging.
The down side is that this clause may mean that we still miss some
real slide transitions, especially if the images are small and similar. If this
proves to be the case then some further adjustment of the threshold may be
required. However, in the specific problem sample provided we do trap every
transition correctly.

vp9-svc: Adjust logic on intra mode search.
For SVC, on spatial enhancement layer, intra
search was disabled unless best reference frame
is golden (i.e., spatial/inter-layer prediction),

or golden is not an allowed reference).
Fix is to add the base temporal layer condition,
so intra search will not be force-disabled for base
temporal layer frames.
This improves metrics (-1-2%) for SVC 3 and 2 layer config.
Some small encode time is expected, but since condition
only affect base temporal layers (i.e., every 4 frames
for 3 layers), increase is small.

In nonrd-pickmode: the golden/spatial reference for inter-layer

to reduce the threshold for skipping (i.e., check it more often)
at high QP, if the lower layer was encoded at lower QP relative
to the current layer.
At high QP, a better quality lower resolution is more likely to
provide good spatial (inter-layer) prediction.
