ec_byte_read() ec_byte_read_from_end() had different return types.
ec_dec_bits() was storing its return value as int instead of
ec_uint32, which will break if int is only 16 bits.
This simplifies a good bit of the error handling, and should make it
impossible to overrun the buffer in the encoder or decoder, while
still allowing tell() to operate correctly after a bust.
The encoder now tries to keep the range coder data intact after a
bust instead of corrupting it with extra bits data, though this is
not a guarantee (too many extra bits may have already been flushed).
It also now correctly reports errors when the bust occurs merging the
last byte of range coder and extra bits.
A number of abstraction barrier violations were cleaned up, as well.
This patch also includes a number of minor performance improvements:
ec_{enc|dec}_bits() in particular should be much faster.
Finally, tf_select was changed to be coded with the range coder
rather than extra bits, so that it is at the front of the packet
(for unequal error protection robustness).
Making it so all the information encoded directly with ec_enc_bits() gets
stored at the end of the stream, without going through the range coder. This
should be both faster and reduce the effects of bit errors.
