WIP: Multiple decoder instances support
Started adding support for multiple internal decoder instances. Also added
code to limit the vp8 config options available when using frame-based
multithreading.
When error concealment is enabled, it swaps the mi and prev_mi ptrs after
each frame is decoded. The postproc uses the mi ptr for the mode info context.
Now the postproc will use the correct mode info context.

Don't include x86inc.asm on non-x86 targets
This file is currently unused, as the asm that depended on it has been
disabled for the current roll into Chromium. It's expected that it
will return in some form, so wrap it in an x86 check rather than
deleting it. This extra file isn't really an issue with the libvpx
build system, but affects the gyp builds since on ARM (android) it
tries to do the ADS->GAS conversion on all .asm files reported in
libvpx_srcs.txt.

changed UV plane loop filtering for TX_8X8
In commit 9a1d73d, loop filtering was added for UV 4x4 boundaries
when TX_8X8 is used by a MB. This commit further refined the decision
to be based on the actual transform used for the UV planes. When
UV planes use 4x4 transform, i.e. when prediction mode used is either
I8X8_PRED or SPLITMV, UV planes are filtered on 4x4 boundaries, and no
filtering is applied on 4x4 block boundaries when UV planes use 8X8
transform.

Reset x->skip for each iteration in the RD loop.
This prevents ill-defined behaviour, such as setting x->skip for a mode
that is excluded because of frame-level flags (e.g. filter selection,
compound prediction selection), then not breaking out of the RD loop
because the mode is not allowed, but keeping the flag on. Whatever mode
is iterated through next in the RD loop will then carry this flag, and
all sort of bad stuff happens, such as x->skip being set on intra pred
modes.

Further enhancements/fixes on dct/dwt hybrid txfm
Fixes some scaling issues. Adds an option to only compute the
dct on the low-low subband for 32x32 and 64x64 blocks using
only a single 16x16 dct after 1 and 2 wavelet decomposition
levels respectively. Also adds an option to use a 8x8 dct
as building block.
Currenlty with the 2/6 filter and with a single 16x16 dct on
the low low band, the reuslts compared to full 32x32 dct is
as follows:
derf: -0.15%
yt: -0.29%
std-hd: -0.18%
hd: -0.6%
These are my current recommended settings, since the 2/6 filter
is very simple.

New prediction filter
This patch removes the old pred-filter experiment and replaces it
with one that is implemented using the switchable filter framework.
If the pred-filter experiment is enabled, three interopolation
filters are tested during mode selection; the standard 8-tap
interpolation filter, a sharp 8-tap filter and a (new) 8-tap
smoothing filter.
The 6-tap filter code has been preserved for now and if the
enable-6tap experiment is enabled (in addition to the pred-filter
experiment) the original 6-tap filter replaces the new 8-tap smooth
filter in the switchable mode.
The new experiment applies the prediction filter in cases of a
fractional-pel motion vector. Future patches will apply the filter
where the mv is pel-aligned and also to intra predicted blocks.

Further change to mv reference search.
This experimental change reorders the search so
that all possible references that match the target
reference frame are tested first and these in order
of distance from the current block. These will usually
be the highest scoring candidates.
If we do not find enough good candidates this way
we try non matching cases. These will usually be lower
scoring candidates.
The change in order together with breakouts when
we have found enough candidates should reduce
the computational cost and especially reduce the number
of sort operations.
Quality Results:
Std Hd +0.228%, Hd +0.074%, YT +0.046%, derf +0.137%
This effect is probably due to the fact that more distant
weak candidates are now less likely to get "promoted" over
near candidates even if they are repeated.

New interpolation filter selection algorithm
Old Scheme:
When SWITCHABLE filter selection is enabled the encoder
evaluates the use of each interpolation filter type and
selects the best one to use at the MB level. A frame-
level flag can be set to force the use of a particular
filter type for all MBs in a frame if it is more efficient
to encode that way. The logic here involved a Q dependent
threshold that assumed that the second 8-tap filter was
a high-pass filter. However, this requires a trip around
the recode loop. If the frame-level flag indicates use
of a particular filter, the other filters are not
evaluated in the pick_mode loop.
New Scheme:
Each filter type is evaluated at the MB level and a record
of the best filter is kept, irrespective of what filter
is signaled at the frame-level. Once all MBs have been
encoded, a decision is made as to what frame-level mode
to set for the *next* frame. If one filter is used by 80%
or more of the MBs, then this filter is forced since it
is assumed that this will be more efficient if the
next frame has similar characteristics. i.e. there is a
one-frame lag between measuring the filter selection and
setting the frame-level mode to use.

Switch the order of calculating 2-D inverse transform
The 2-D inverse transform X = M1*Z*Transposed_M2 was calculated
in 2 steps from left to right:
1. Vertical transform: Y = M1*Z
2. Horizontal transform: X= Y*Transposed_M2
In SIMD, a transpose is needed in vertical transform.
Here, switched the calculation order to do it from right to left.
In this way, we could eliminate that transpose by writing the
intermediate results out to their transposed positions.
