Hook up VP8D_GET_LAST_REF_USED
Commit 892e23a5b introduced support for the VP8D_GET_LAST_REF_USED,
but missed the mapping of the control id to the underlying function,
so it was unavailable to applications.
In addition, the underlying function vp8_references_buffer() is
moved from common/postproc.c to decoder/onyxd_if.c as postproc.c is
not built in all configurations.

Correct clamping in use of vp8_find_near_mvs()
Commit e06c242ba introduced a change to call vp8_find_near_mvs() only
once instead of once per reference frame by observing that the only
effect that the frame had was on the bias applied to the motion
vector. By keeping track of the sign_bias value, the mv to use could
be flip-flopped by multiplying its components by -1.
This behavior was subtley wrong in the case when clamping was applied
to the motion vectors found by vp8_find_near_mvs(). A motion vector
could be in-bounds with one sign bias, but out of bounds after
inverting the sign, or vice versa. The clamping must match that done
by the decoder.
This change modifies vp8_find_near_mvs() to remove the clamping from
that function. The vp8_pick_inter_mode() and vp8_rd_pick_inter_mode()
functions instead track the correctly clamped values for both bias
values, switching between them by simple assignment. The common
clamping and inversion code is in vp8_find_near_mvs_bias()

Fixed bugs in multi-layer code related to changing params
When running multi-layer (ML) encodes and dynamically
changing coding parameters on the fly (e.g. frame

In certain cases the rate targeting would be

These fixes make it possible to change these coding

Avoid heap allocation of firstpass stats
The total_stats, this_frame_stats, and total_left_stats structures
were previously create by a heap allocation, despite being of fixed
size. These structures were allocated and deallocated during
{de,}allocate_compressor_data, which is reinvoked whenever the frame
size changes. Unfortunately, this clobbers the total_stats and
total_left_stats data.
Historically, these were variable size at one time, due to the first
pass motion map, which necessitated their being created by a unique
heap allocation. However, this bug with the total_stats being
clobbered has probably been present since that initial implementation.
These structures are instead moved to be stored within the struct
twopass_rc directly, rather than being heap allocated separately.
