This commit removes the array which was made redundant with
the last commit. The current prediction system gets the
quantization error directly (and without the single-frame delay)
in the search_for_pred function.

This commit completely alters the algorithm of prediction.
The original commit which introduced prediction was completely
incorrect to even remotely care about what the actual coefficients
contain or whether any options were enabled. Not my actual fault.
This commit treats prediction the way the decoder does and expects
to do: like lossy encryption. Everything related to prediction now
happens at the very end but just before quantization and encoding
of coefficients. On the decoder side, prediction happens before
anything has had a chance to even access the coefficients.
Also the original implementation had problems because it actually
touched the band_type of special bands which already had their
scalefactor indices marked and it's a wonder the asserion wasn't
triggered when transmitting those.
Overall, this now drastically increases audio quality and you should
think about enabling it if you don't plan on playing anything encoded
on really old low power ultra-embedded devices since they might not
support decoding of prediction or AAC-Main. Though the specifications
were written ages ago and as times change so do the FLOPS.

This commit finalizes AAC-Main profile encoding support
by implementing all mandatory and optional tools available
in the specifications and current decoders.
The AAC-Main profile reqires that prediction support be
present (although decoders don't require it to be enabled)
for an encoder to be deemed capable of AAC-Main encoding,
as well as TNS, PNS and IS, all of which were implemented
with previous commits or earlier of this year.
Users are encouraged to test the new functionality using either
-profile:a aac_main or -aac_pred 1, the former of which will enable
the prediction option by default and the latter will change the
profile to AAC-Main. No other options shall be changed by enabling
either, it's currently up to the users to decide what's best.
The current implementation works best using M/S and/or IS,
so users are also welcome to enable both options and any
other options (TNS, PNS) for maximum quality.

This commit implements temporal noise shaping support in the
encoder, along with an -aac_tns option to toggle it on or off
(off by default for now). TNS will increase audio quality
and reduce quantization noise by applying a multitap FIR filter
across allowed coefficients and transmit side information to the
decoder so it could create an inverse filter.
Users are encouraged to test the new functionality by enabling
-aac_tns 1 during encoding.
No major bugs are observable at this time so after a while if no
new problems appear and if the current implementation is deemed
of high enough quality and stability it will be enabled by default,
possibly at the same time the encoder has its experimental flag
removed and becomes the standard aac encoder in ffmpeg.

This commit moves the quantizer to a separate header file.
This allows the quantizer to be used from a separate files outside
of aaccoder without having to put another function pointer and will
result in a slight speedup as the compiler can do more optimizations.
This is required for commits following.

Avoid clipping due to quantization noise to produce audible
artifacts, by detecting near-clipping signals and both attenuating
them a little and encoding escape-encoded bands (usually the
loudest) rounding towards zero instead of nearest, which tends to
decrease overall energy and thus clipping.
Currently fate tests measure numerical error so this change makes
tests using asynth (which are near clipping) report higher error
not less, because of window attenuation. Yet, they sound better,
not worse (albeit subtle, other samples aren't subtle at all).
Only measuring psychoacoustically weighted error would make for
a representative test, so that will be left for a future patch.

This commit adjusts the intial offset for PNS values, introduced
with commit f7f71b5795 earlier. This
commit shifts the value in such a way that no further offsets are
required in the aaccoder.c file. Earlier version of the PNS patch had 2 offsets in both the aaccoder and aacenc.

This commit implements support for writing the noise energy values used in PNS.
The difference between regular scalefactors and noise energy values is that the latter
require a small preamble (NOISE_PRE + energy_value_diff) to be written as the first
noise-containing band. Any following noise energy values use the previous one to
base their "diff" on. Ordinary scalefactors remain unchanged other than that they ignore the noise values.
This commit should not change anything by itself, the following commits will bring it in use.

This patch fixes a pointer arithmetic bug in adjust_frame_information that resulted in heavily corrupted audio when using M/S encoding. Also, a backup copy of untransformed coefficients has to be kept around or attempts at re-processing the frame (which happens when hevavily overspending bits during transients) will result in re-encoding of the coefficients and subsequent corruption of the resulting stream.
A/B testing shows the bug as corrected, but still cannot prove that M/S coding is a win at least in numbers. Limited listening tests do show improvement on M/S encoded samples in lower bitrates, but they're hidden among the other artifacts that remain to be corrected in the encoder.
Some of the regressions flagged in the report do show poor stereo image (but not buggy), so M/S encoding is clearly not good enough yet to be defaulted to auto.

aac_tablegen.h includes aac.h for the POW_SF2_ZERO definition, but
this also pulls in a raft of other headers, some of which are not
safe to use in code built with the host compiler.
Moving POW_SF2_ZERO to aac_tablegen_decl.h, where the declaration
of the array it relates to already resides, fixes the problems.

Japanese DTV uses some non standard extensions in AAC audio.
One example is 'dual mono', which combines two independent
audio into one stereo stream, storing them in left and right channels
respectively. Historically, dual mono audio has been used for
multi-lingual audio, one for local/native language, and another for english,
and usually the "main" (local language) channel should be output without
any user interactions.
The frames of those dual mono audio are allowed to set
ADTS channel_config field to 0, and just contain two SCE's *WITHOUT* PCE,
which is a non standard extension by Japanese DTV standard.
(ref. ARIB STD-B32 PartII 5.2.3)
This patch adds an AVPacket side data, AV_PKT_DATA_JP_DUALMONO,
which indicates that the AVPacket is likely to contain an audio frame
with the above dual mono extension, and has the parameter to specify
the desired channel selection in that case.
It also makes aacdec to detect dual mono and output just the desired
channel when this side data is attached.
