Adaptively adjust mode test kick-off thresholds in RTC coding

This commit allows the encoder to increase the mode test kick-off
thresholds if the previous best mode renders all zero quantized
coefficients, thereby saving motion search runs when possible.
The compression performance of speed -5 and -6 is down by -0.446%
and 0.591%, respectively. The runtime of speed -6 is improved by
10% for many test clips.
