Adding new compound modes to EXT_INTER experiment
Combinations of different mv modes for two reference frames
are allowed in compound inter modes. 9 options are enabled,
including NEAREST_NEARESTMV, NEAREST_NEARMV, NEAR_NEARESTMV,
NEAREST_NEWMV, NEW_NEARESTMV, NEAR_NEWMV, NEW_NEARMV, ZERO_ZEROMV,
and NEW_NEWMV.
This experiment is mostly deported from the nextgen branch.
It is made compatible with other experiments

EXT_INTER experiment
NEW2MV is enabled, representing a new motion vector predicted from
NEARMV. It is mostly ported from nextgen, where it was named
NEW_INTER.
A few fixes are done for sub8x8 RDO to correct some misused
mv references in the original patch.
A 'bug-fix' for encoding complexity is done, reducing the additional
encoding time from 50% to 20%. In sub8x8 case, the old patch
did motion search for every interpolation filter (vp9 only
searches once). This fix also slightly improves the coding gain.
This experiment has been made compatible with REF_MV and EXT_REFS.
Coding gain (derflr/hevcmr/hevchd): 0.267%/0.542%/0.257%

ext-coding-unit-size from nextgen)

from nextgen and other Wiener restoration filters)

Handle single ref mv pair in the candidate list for compound mode
This commit considers the case where a single reference motion
vector pair is found in the candidate list. It treats this pair
as the effective motion vector for nearestmv mode. This improves
the coding performance by 0.06% for stdhd sets.
Different quality levels are used for different regions in
the frame depending on how far they are vertically from the
center. Specifically, three segments are used based on the
mi_row index with respect number to the number of mi_rows in
the frame.

Amend and improve VP8 multithreading implementation
There are flaws in current implementation of VP8 multithreading encoder
and decoder as reported in the following issue:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=158922
Although the data race warnings are harmless, and wouldn't cause real
problems while encoding and decoding videos, it is better to fix the
warnings so that VP8 code could pass the TSan test.
To synchronize the thread-shared data access and maintain the speed
(i.e. decoding speed), use multiple mutexes based on mb_rows to reduce
the number of synchronizations needed, make the reads and writes of
the shared data protected, and reduce the number of mb_col writes by
nsync times.
The decoder speed tests showed < 3% speed loss while using 2 ~ 4
threads.
