    This commit reorders the coding tools such that they're doing what
    the decoder does in reverse order. The very first thing the decoder
    does is to decode M/S stereo if that's signalled, then prediction,
    IS, and finally TNS and PNS in another function.
    adjust_frame_information()'s application of IS and M/S was taken
    out into two separate functions since prediction doesn't expect
    to get the raw coefficients but rathe the coefficients at that
    part of the encoding process.
    
    The results show a much better PSNR when any combination of
    Intensity Stereo, Mid/Side stereo and Prediction is used, which
    is a sign of an increased encoder efficiency as well as the fact
    that the decoder gets what it expects.
    
    Otherwise, with only IS, PNS or prediction there are neither
    regressions nor improvements except in the case of IS, which
    now by itself (or with PNS) is less prone to artifacts. Enabling
    M/S (using stereo_mode) as well will also reduce stereo artifacts
    induced by IS, so in the very near future M/S may be enabled
    by default.
