This commit adds a new encoder capable of creating BBC/SMPTE Dirac/VC-2 HQ
profile files.
Dirac is a wavelet based codec created by the BBC a little more than 10
years ago. Since then, wavelets have mostly gone out of style as they
did not provide adequate encoding gains at lower bitrates. Dirac was a
fully featured video codec equipped with perceptual masking, support for
most popular pixel formats, interlacing, overlapped-block motion
compensation, and other features. It found new life after being stripped
of various features and standardized as the VC-2 codec by the SMPTE with
an extra profile, the HQ profile that this encoder supports, added.
The HQ profile was based off of the Low-Delay profile previously
existing in Dirac. The profile forbids DC prediction and arithmetic
coding to focus on high performance and low delay at higher bitrates.
The standard bitrates for this profile vary but generally 1:4
compression is expected (~525 Mbps vs the 2200 Mbps for uncompressed
1080p50). The codec only supports I-frames, hence the high bitrates.
The structure of this encoder is simple: do a DWT transform on the
entire image, split it into multiple slices (specified by the user) and
encode them in parallel. All of the slices are of the same size, making
rate control and threading very trivial. Although only in C, this encoder
is capable of 30 frames per second on an 4 core 8 threads Ivy Bridge.
A lookup table is used to encode most of the coefficients.
No code was used from the GSoC encoder from 2007 except for the 2
transform functions in diracenc_transforms.c. All other code was written
from scratch.
This encoder outperforms any other encoders in quality, usability and in
features. Other existing implementations do not support 4 level
transforms or 64x64 blocks (slices), which greatly increase compression.
As previously said, the codec is meant for broadcasting, hence support
for non-broadcasting image widths, heights, bit depths, aspect ratios,
etc. are limited by the "level". Although this codec supports a few
chroma subsamplings (420, 422, 444), signalling those is generally
outside the specifications of the level used (3) and the reference
decoder will outright refuse to read any image with such a flag
signalled (it only supports 1920x1080 yuv422p10). However, most
implementations will happily read files with alternate dimensions,
framerates and formats signalled.
Therefore, in order to encode files other than 1080p50 yuv422p10le, you
need to provide an "-strict -2" argument to the command line. The FFmpeg
decoder will happily read any files made with non-standard parameters,
dimensions and subsamplings, and so will other implementations. IMO this
should be "-strict -1", but I'll leave that up for discussion.
There are still plenty of stuff to implement, for instance 5 more
wavelet transforms are still in the specs and supported by the decoder.
The encoder can be lossless, given a high enough bitrate.

Decodes YUV 4:2:2 10-bit and RGB 12-bit files.
Older files with more subbands, skips, Bayer, alpha not supported.
Alpha requires addition of GBRAP12 pixel format.
It serves absolutely no purpose other than to confuse potentional
Android developers about how to use hardware acceleration properly
on the the platform. The stagefright "API" is not public, and the
MediaCodec API is the proper way to do this.
Furthermore, stagefright support in avcodec needs a series of
magic incantations and version-specific stuff, such that
using it actually provides downsides compared just using the actual
Android frameworks properly, in that it is a lot more work and confusion
to get it even running. It also leads to a lot of misinformation, like
these sorts of comments (in [1]) that are absolutely incorrect.

Commit b272c3a5aa has sped up dsd_tablegen, and now table generation takes
~ 40k cycles. Thus, these tables can always be generated at runtime.
Tested with/without --enable-hardcoded-tables.

This gets rid of virtually useless hardcoded tables hackery. The reason
it is useless is that a 320 element lut is anyway placed regardless of
--enable-hardcoded-tables, from which all necessary tables are trivially
derived at runtime at very low cost:
sample benchmark (x86-64, Haswell, GNU/Linux, single run is really
what is relevant here since looping drastically changes the bench). Fluctuations
are on the order of 10% for the single run test:
39400 decicycles in aacsbr_tableinit, 1 runs, 0 skips
25325 decicycles in aacsbr_tableinit, 2 runs, 0 skips
18475 decicycles in aacsbr_tableinit, 4 runs, 0 skips
15008 decicycles in aacsbr_tableinit, 8 runs, 0 skips
13016 decicycles in aacsbr_tableinit, 16 runs, 0 skips
12005 decicycles in aacsbr_tableinit, 32 runs, 0 skips
11546 decicycles in aacsbr_tableinit, 64 runs, 0 skips
11506 decicycles in aacsbr_tableinit, 128 runs, 0 skips
11500 decicycles in aacsbr_tableinit, 256 runs, 0 skips
11183 decicycles in aacsbr_tableinit, 509 runs, 3 skips
Tested with FATE with/without --enable-hardcoded-tables.
