vp8: retain decoded arenas instead of copying reference planes

Bind last, golden and altref to completed frame arenas and decode into an unreferenced fourth arena. Preserve reference-copy ordering and borrowed-plane lifetime, and release retained macroblock state if an arena allocation fails. Generated independent pixel references cover hidden frames, cropped geometry and resolution changes; counted large copies and injected allocation failures guard the ownership path.
