Adjusted speed 2 features to speed up 4k video encoding.
BDBR results from borg test:
PSNR: +0.313%; SSIM: +0.268%.
Average speedup: 8.5%

Bias towards base_mv and skip 1/4 pixel motion search when using base mv.
2~3% speed up for 2 spatial layers, 3~5% speed up for 3 spatial layers.
PSNR loss:
(2 layers) 0.07dB for gips_stationary, 0.04dB for gips_motion;
(3 layers) 0.07dB for gips_stationary, 0.06dB for gips_motion.

Add option, for newmv-last, to limit the rd-threshold update for early exit,
under a source varianace condition.
This can improve visual quality in low texture moving areas,
like forehead/faces.
Also add bias against golden to improve the speed/fps,
will little/negligible loss in quality.
Only affects CBR mode, non-svc, non-screen-content.

Changes the default recode rule for Speed 0 and best quality
from ALLOW_RECODE to ALLOW_RECODE_KFARFGF.
Tested on the NF, hdres, midres and lowres test sets, this setting
when combined with patch I40cb559... now performs "as well" in
metrics terms (in fact it came out a tiny amount better overall)
but encode time is 9.6% faster (measured as the average
from 27 mid rate local encodes on clips in the derf/lowres set.

Allow recodes for the first inter frame in each arf group
even when the recode rule is set to ALLOW_RECODE_KFARFGF.
Small gains of 0.05%.

This patch fixed a motion vector out of range bug:
vpxenc: ../libvpx/vp9/encoder/vp9_mcomp.c:69:
mv_cost: Assertion `mv->col >= -((1 << (11 + 1 + 2)) - 1) &&
mv->col < ((1 << (11 + 1 + 2)) - 1)' failed.
For blocks that returned without having full-pixel search, the original
MV limits were not restored, which caused the failure. Moved the set
MV limit function down to fix the bug.

This patch fixed a motion vector(MV) out of range bug, which was caused
by not restoring the original values of the MV min/max thresholds after
the sub8x8 full pixel motion search. It occurred rarely and only was seen
while encoding a 4k clip for 200 frames.

Increase the minimum distance.
Reduces the overshoot somewhat on some clips,
small gain in avgPSNR (~0.1%) on ytlive set.

Move best index into the token state. Shrink it down to one byte. This
is more cache friendly (access are group together) and uses less total
memory.
Results in 4% fewer cycles in optimize_b().

This commit changes the call in vp9 encoder from vp9_deblock() to
vp9_post_proc_frame() to ensure the data structures used in the call
are properly allocated. This fixes an encoder crash when configured
with --enable-internal-stats.

Allow usage of lookahead for VBR in real-time mode, for 1 pass vbr.
Current usage is for fast checking of future scene cuts/changes,
and adjusting rate control (gf interval and active_worst/target size).
Added unittests (datarate) for 1 pass vbr mode, with non-zero lag.
Added an experimental option to limit QP based on lookahead.
Overall positive gain in metrics on ytlive set:
avgPNSR/SSIM up on average ~1-3%; several clips up by 5, 7%.
