In mode selection loop, once mode_index pass mode_skip_start, all
modes with a different reference frame from current best mode are
masked out using mode_skip_mask.
However, the setting of mode_skip_mask may use an invalid mode if
there is no mode tested yet. This commit fixes the issue by making
sure a mode has been tested and selected. Otherwise, no mode will be
masked out because of their reference frame.

This commit allows the non-RD mode decision flow to select
prediction filter type in NEWMV mode. It provides 8.14% compression
performance gains in both settings of AQ=0 and 3. The current speed
impact is about 5% to 10% slower.

Adds a fast diamond search which is about 5% faster than FAST_HEX
with only a 0.1% drop in psnr when turned on for both speeds 5 and 7.
This search is turned on for speed 7.

This commit replaces SAD cost with modeled rate-distortion cost
for non-RD mode decision. It translates the prediction residual
SSE into estimate rate and reconstruction distorion costs, hence
capturing the quantization setting effect. The compression
performance of speed -7 for rtc set is improved by 14.79%.

Set speed features before running frame encoding. This avoids
redundant RD threshold calculation in key frame coding.

* Remove all non-DC intra modes for BLOCK_32x32 and up
* Remove all intra modes for blocks bigger than BLOCK_32x32
* Remove ZEROMV for BLOCK_32x32 and up
* Only consider NEARESTMV for blocks bigger than BLOCK_32x32

The core motion estimation fucntions all return sad now consistently.
The only exception is vp9_full_pixel_diamond(), however the core diamond
and refining search routines called from vp9_full_pixel_diamond() also
return SAD. If variance of pred error + mv cost is desired it must be
calculated explicitly outside these functions. For very fast encoding,
hopefully this will eliminate some redundant computations.
Also suggests reimplementing FAST_HEX with the vp9_pattern_search
framework. It is not exactly the same as the existing FAST_HEX, but
performance is slightly better and speed is very similar. Enables
removing a lot of duplicate code.

This patch adds a new speed feature which doesn't do the rather
expensive entropy context lookup or save to the table, while
doing costing.
The speed up on desktop36p.y4m is around 10% other clips much less.
On the RTC test set this was + 1% in overall datarate.

This gets more accurate mode hit stats. It's also the first step to
handling ZEROMV not being allowed more intelligently.

intra_y_mode_mask is already enforced for the sub8x8 case.
intra_uv_mode_mask is already enforced for all sizes.
