optimize VP8 decoding for ARM
* Review VP8 open-source decoders
* Define test cases and ensure requirements are taking account in free test content spec
* document performance hot spot identification mechanisms
* integrate in codec test-harness and keep track of performance numbers over time
* hand optimize VP8 decoders working together with upstream community

Whiteboard
[asac Nov 17]: please split up engineering work like "Do Multithreading in host x86 system using pure C" in multiple work items with each ~2 days worth of effort
[asac Nov 17]: the wiki page/url needs to be CamelCase
[asac Nov 21]: renamed wiki to CamelCase syntax
[asac Dec 14]: looks fine, please map your milestones to real milestones instead of names like Infrastructure etc.
[gsachin,rajeev,Jan 04] : Please update the progress if any
[rajeev Feb 01]: Please update as per current progress.
[vorlon Mar 23]: ppa setup needs to be done by the multimedia wg, not by Tom - devplatform can assist with the setup if needed
[Rony Apr29 ]:Work item related to MM PPA removed as it is taken up as a separate blueprint-tr
