this also enables DatarateTestLarge for VP10 which passes with no

Add interface to compute gm parameters in encodeframe
This patch just creates the interface for global motion computation
and calls it from encodeframe. Currently, the function
compute_global_motion_feature_based is empty and the work to do
the actual parameter calculation will be added in a future patch.

Add reconstruction using gm parameters
This patch only includes inter frame reconstruction using gm
parameters when GLOBAL_MOTION and/or VP9_HIGHBITDEPTH are enabled.
GM is not currently used when EXT_INTER or DUAL_FILTER is enabled.
This will be added in a followup patch. For now, these experiments
will take precedence over GLOBAL_MOTION when they are all enabled.

Optimization EXT_INTRA's filtered intra predictor (SSE4.1)
- Add unit tests to verify the bit-exact result.
- In speed test, function speed (for each mode/tx_size)
improves about 23%~35%.

encoding time improves about 1%~2%.

Speed filter intra mode search in EXT_INTRA experiment
(1) Key frame: skip filter intra modes whose directional pred
version is relatively bad (rd >= 1.125 * best_rd)
(2) Inter frame: do not check filter intra modes if best_intra_rd
>= 1.25 * best_rd
Encoding time overhead is reduced by:
4.9% (9.2%->4.3%, soccer_cif)
Coding gains drop by 0.021% on lowres and by 0.076% on midres

Fix a bug for multi_arf_allowed
The ARF Index was wrong when updating the upsampled reference
frame buffer.
Compared to the baseline in which multi_arf_allowed is disabled, the
RD performance drops 2.250% in Avg using Overall PSNR in the derf
dataset. The performance decrease is especially in the following
video sequences:
INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME specifies the maximum number of reference frames
that each Inter frame may use.
TOTAL_REFS_PER_FRAME is equal to INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME + 1, which
counts the INTRA_FRAME.
Further, at the encoder side, since REF_FRAMES specifies the maximum
number of the reference frames that the encoder may store, REF_FRAMES
is usually larger than INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME. For example, in the
ext-refs experiment, REF_FRAMES == 8, which allows the encoder to
store maximum 8 reference frames in the buffer, but
INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME equals to 6, which allows each Inter frame may
use up to 6 frames out of the 8 buffered frames as its references.
Hence, in order to explore the possibility to store more reference
frames in future patches, we modified a couple of array sizes to
accomodate the case that the number of buffered reference frames is
not always equal to the number of the references that are being used
by each Inter frame.

Adjust gm parameter computation to avoid mismatch
The gm parameters need to have WARPED_PRECISION_BITS precision
until they are written to the bitstream because functions in
reconinter use these parameters before they are written to
the bitstream. Previously, the parameters weren't being converted
to WARPED_PRECISION_BITS until they were read from the bitstream
which causes an encode/decode mismatch.

Separate frame context index for different frame types
This commit makes the encoder to use different frame context index
for different frame types. In the baseline setting, it sets the
frame context index of the overlay frame to be different from other
regular inter frames. In the ext-refs setting, it further allows
the backward reference frame to use a different index.
It improves the compression performance for both settings.

Fix compilation error under Clang 4.0.
The LLVM trunk has reached 4.0 and now __clang_major__ is not enough
to distinguish between old XCode Clang and the new 'real' Clang.
Using __apple_build_version__ allows to make this distinction.
Added a new expt rect-tx to be used in conjunction with ext-tx.
[rect-tx is a temporary config flag and will eventually be
merged into ext-tx once it works correctly with all other
experiments].
Added 4x8 and 8x4 tranforms for use initially with rectangular
sub8x8 y blocks as part of this experiment.
There is about a -0.2% BDRATE improvement on lowres, others pending.
When var-tx is on rectangular transforms are currently not used.
That will be enabled in a subsequent patch.
