This patch does 4 things, all of which interact and thus it
woudln't be possible to commit them separately without causing
either quality regressions or assertion failures.
Fate comparison targets don't all reflect improvements in
quality, yet listening tests show substantially improved quality
and stability.
1. Increase SF range utilization.
The spec requires SF delta values to be constrained within the
range -60..60. The previous code was applying that range to
the whole SF array and not only the deltas of consecutive values,
because doing so requires smarter code: zeroing or otherwise
skipping a band may invalidate lots of SF choices.
This patch implements that logic to allow the coders to utilize
the full dynamic range of scalefactors, increasing quality quite
considerably, and fixing delta-SF-related assertion failures,
since now the limitation is enforced rather than asserted.
2. PNS tweaks
The previous modification makes big improvements in twoloop's
efficiency, and every time that happens PNS logic needs to be
tweaked accordingly to avoid it from stepping all over twoloop's
decisions. This patch includes modifications of the sort.
3. Account for lowpass cutoff during PSY analysis
The closer PSY's allocation is to final allocation the better
the quality is, and given these modifications, twoloop is now
very efficient at avoiding holes. Thus, to compute accurate
thresholds, PSY needs to account for the lowpass applied
implicitly during twoloop (by zeroing high bands).
This patch makes twoloop set the cutoff in psymodel's context
the first time it runs, and makes PSY account for it during
threshold computation, making PE and threshold computations
closer to the final allocation and thus achieving better
subjective quality.
4. Tweaks to RC lambda tracking loop in relation to PNS
Without this tweak some corner cases cause quality regressions.
Basically, lambda needs to react faster to overall bitrate
efficiency changes since now PNS can be quite successful in
enforcing maximum bitrates, when PSY allocates too many bits
to the lower bands, suppressing the signals RC logic uses to
lower lambda in those cases and causing aggressive PNS.
This tweak makes PNS much less aggressive, though it can still
use some further tweaks.
Also update MIPS specializations and adjust fuzz
Also in lavc/mips/aacpsy_mips.h: remove trailing whitespace
"Fast seek" uses linear interpolation to find the position of the
requested seek time. For CBR this is more direct than using the
mp3 TOC and bypassing the TOC avoids problems with TOC precision.
(see https://crbug.com/545914#c13)
For VBR, fast seek is not precise, so continue to prefer the TOC
when available (the lesser of two evils).
Also, some re-ordering of the logic in mp3_seek to simplify and
give usetoc=1 precedence over fastseek flag.

As noted in a comment, pe.min in the reference encoder
is centered around current pe. The bit reservoir algo
needs pe.min to be a local minimum, because it can only
account for local PE variations. If it's set to a global
minimum as was being done, bit reservoir logic doesn't
work as efficiently.
This patch tries to forget old minimums and converge to
a local minimum without losing the stability of the
previous solution. Listening tests until now suggest this
solves numerous RC issues.
This is never mentioned in the specifications, and decoders work
just as fine without it. Update the fate references since the compressed
file is smaller.

Also support disabling them as they seem to cause problems to some
Users. They are also not allowed in IRT D-10 thus the default for
mxf_d10 is not to write them
This also decreases the filesize when no user comment are stored

Contrary to the normal fate tests that run via avconv, this tests
nontrivial call sequences that are only doable via the API
(mainly for different corner cases when using the muxer for
segmenting).
The test muxes fake packet data (with extradata that looks
enough like proper data to make the file be viewable with e.g.
boxdumper) and checks the hash of the produced files. The test also
verifies that fragments produced via different call sequences remain
identical (to avoid e.g. updating the output hashes and suddenly
having fragments that used to be identical suddenly diverging), for
fragments written with frag_discont and/or delay_moov.

Trim unneeded leading components and trailing zeros.
Move the formating code in a separate function.
Use the function also to format the default value, it was currently
printed as plain integer, inconsistent to the way it is parsed.
Similar to testsrc, but using drawutils and therefore
supporting a lot of pixel formats instead of just rgb24.
This allows using it as input for other tests without
requiring a format conversion.
It is also slightly faster than testsrc for some reason.

For the 10-show-existing-frame, the source file indeed has a timestamp
of 3 (or 100/33) for the second visible frame, so the fix appears to
work correctly. For the other, only the timebase is fixed, but again
appears to be correct now.

There were some errors in the calculation as well as an entire
unnecessary loop to find the gain coefficient. Merge the
two loops.
Thanks to @ubitux for the suggestions and testing.
The fate test command line is supposed to serve as an example. It's
nicer to explicitly state the profile rather than setting options
to force it for you.
GCC 3.4 miscompiles it on sunos. Date of release? The second of
August two thousand and five, anno Domini. That's ten years two
months and fourteen days ago. Three thousand seven hundred and
twenty seven days ago. One sixth of the average life expectancy
of a person living in a country with a human development index
of zero point eight hundred and eight, equality adjusted.
GCC 4.3 also miscompiles it, though not as bad.
