The PartialIDctTest.ResultsMatch test on vpx_idct32x32_135_add_neon()
in high bit-depth mode exposes 16-bit overflow in final stage of pass
2, when changing the test number from 1,000 to 1,000,000.
Change to use saturating add/sub for vpx_idct32x32_34_add_neon(),
vpx_idct32x32_135_add_neon and vpx_idct32x32_1024_add_neon() in high
bit-depth mode.

Apply machine learning-based early termination in VP9 partition search
This patch was based on Yang Xian's intern project code. Further modifications
were done.
1. Moved machine-learning related parameters into the context structure.
2. Corrected the calculation of sum_eobs.
3. Removed unused parameters and calculations.
4. Made it work with multiple tiles.
5. Added a speed feature for the machine-learning based partition search
early termination.
6. Re-organized the code.

vp9: Fix condition for intra search in non-rd pickmode.
Fixes an issue when the LAST and golden is not used as a reference,
in which case its possible no encoding mode is set (since intra may be
skipped under certain codtions). Fix is to make sure intra is searched
if no inter mode is checked.
Issue can happen for temporal layer pattern#7 in vpx_temporal_svc_encoder.c

vp9/encoder: fix segfault on win32 using vs < 2015
shift the bsse[] member of the macroblock struct to the front to avoid
an incorrect offset (0) to the upper half of bsse[0] which leads to a
negative resulting in a crash. restrict this to visual studio versions
before 2015 (the bug was observed with 2013, fixed in 2015) to avoid any
potential cache impact on other platforms.
- Split the inv txfm into three parts to avoid stack spillover.
- Function level speed improves ~12%.
- Use function and macro to remove some repeated code.

move vp9_scale_and_extend_frame_c to vp9_frame_scale.c
this is similar to the x86 configuration and helps mitigate an issue
with a circular dependency between this function and the ssse3 variant

Make the partition search early termination feature to be frame size dependent
The 2 thresholds(i.e. partition_search_breakout_dist_thr and
partition_search_breakout_rate_thr) are used as the partition search
early termination speed feature. This refactoring patch made this
feature to be frame size dependent consistently throughout the code.

Update vpx_idct32x32_1024_add_neon()
Most are cosmetics changes.
Speed has no change with clang 3.8, and about 5% faster with gcc 4.8.4
Tried the strategy used in 8x8 and 16x16 (which operations' orders are
similar to the C code), though speed gets better with gcc, it's worse
with clang.
Tried to remove store_in_output(), but speed gets worse.

vp9: Fix an issue with setting variance thresholds.
From commit:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/441393/
On non-segment the set_vbp_thresholds() should be called
again to adjust thresholds based on content_state of superblock.
This was the intended behavior from 441393.
new_mt is a very generic name that will get obsolete soon enough.
Since this is exposed as a codec control, renaming it to row_mt to
signify row level paralellism. Also renaming the ETHREAD_BIT_MATCH
codec control to ROW_MT_BIT_EXACT.

consolidate block_error functions
vp9_highbd_block_error_8bit_c was a very simple wrapper around
vp9_block_error_c. The SSE2 implemention was practically identical to
the non-HBD one. It was missing some minor improvements which only
went into the original version.
In quick speed tests, the AVX implementation showed minimal
improvement over SSE2 when it does not detect overflow. However, when
overflow is detected the function is run a second time. The
OperationCheck test seems to trigger this case and reverses any
speed benefits by running ~60% slower. AVX2 on the other hand is
always 30-40% faster.

Make vp9_scale_and_extend_frame_ssse3 work for hbd when bitdepth = 8.
Only works for bitdepth = 8 when compiled with high bitdepth flag.
4x speed ups for handling 1:2 down/upsampling.

2) SVC encoding with 3 spatial layers

vp9: Fix for non-rd pickmode for high-bitdepth build.
Use the simple block_yrd under certain conditions.
The optimization code is completed but the speed is still slower
(~6% on 720p) than the low-bitdepth build.
For now, use the more complex block_yrd under certain conditions
(always use it for speed <= 5, otherwise use it on key frames and for
bsize >= 32x32).
This gives about ~2-3% gain in quality for speed 7 on RTC set
(over high bitdepth build), with about the same encoder fps as the
low bitdepth build.
