Reimplementation of loop filter
This version of the loop filter supports non-4:2:0 subsampling and
a fourth plane, as well as changing the filtering order to be more
friendly to hardware implementations.
The filters are applied first to all vertical edges within the
64x64 SB, followed by the top horizontal edge and any internal
horizontal edges. Since filtering is applied on each 4x4 edge
serially, a dependency is created from filtering one block edge
to the next. It would be possible to remove this depencnecy by
building all filtering decisions from the unfiltered
reconstruction data.

Balancing coef-tree to reduce bool decodes
This patch changes the coefficient tree to move the EOB to below
the ZERO node in order to save number of bool decodes.
The advantages of moving EOB one step down as opposed to two steps down
in the other parallel patch are: 1. The coef modeling based on
the One-node becomes independent of the tree structure above it, and
2. Fewer conext/counter increases are needed.
The drawback is that the potential savings in bool decodes will be
less, but assuming that 0s are much more predominant than 1's the
potential savings is still likely to be substantial.

Residual coding to cache energy class of tokens.
Proposal for tuning the residual coding by changing how the context

Refactor rd loop for inter modes
This commit pulls the iterative motion search for compound inter-

it is applicable to 4x4/4x8/8x4 level compound inter search to be
enabled later.
Also edit the rd loop for 4x4 inter block sizes for cosmetic

Reduce bmi buffer length from 16 to 4
This commit removes the use of bmi_ in the first-pass encoding by
forcing encode_intra4x4block_ to use DC_PRED, followed by DCT_DCT
only, as John suggested. This makes the need for bmi buffer only
up to 4 entries, instead of 16.

Moving txfm_size bits before prediction mode bits.
Hardware implementation needs to load coeff probs based on the
transform size. For selectable transform size, moving these bits
earlier in the bitstream adds some delay giving time to preload
the probs and speeds up the decoding process.

Change txfm_type decision
The changing in intra coding to base on transform block, i.e. pred->

unit behave consistently, there is no longer a need to handle blocks
differently based on the position within a predicitn block. So this

prediction mode only.

Refinements on modelcoef expt to reduce storage
Uses more aggrerssive interpolation to reduce storage for the
model tables by almost more than half. Only 48 lists of probs are
stored (as opposed to 128 before), corresponding to ONE_NODE
probabilities of:
1,
3, 7, 11, ..., 115, 119,
127, 135, ..., 247, 255.
Besides, only 1 table is used as opposed to 2 before. So the overall
memory needed for the tables is just 48 * 8 = 384 bytes.
The table currently used is based on a new Pareto distribution with
heavier tail than a generalized Gaussian - which improves results on
derf by about 0.1% over a single table Generaized Gaussian.

Enable bit-stream support to 8x4 and 4x8 partition
The recursive partition type search is enabled down to 4x4, 4x8 and
8x4, followed by the corresponding rate-distortion optimization for
the per-partition encoding mode decisions.
The bit-stream writing/reading synchronized in supporting the
rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
This provides above 1% coding performance gains on derf.
To do next:
1. re-design the rate-distortion loop for inter prediction below 8x8.
2. re-design the rate-distortion loop for intra prediction below 4x4.
3. make the loop-filter aware of rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
4. clean the unused probability models.
5. update default probability values.
