Delete code relating to the old VP8_TUNE_SSIM flag
as this code does not currently work and is largely made
redundant in VP9 by the various AQ modes.

With a more approriate one vp9_setup_src_planes() as only src buffer
pointers need to be initialized here.

Calculate the difference variance between last source frame and
current source frame. The variance is calculated at 16x16 block
level. The variances are compared to several thresholds to decide
final partition sizes.
An adaptive strategy is implemented to decide using
SOURCE_VAR_BASED_PARTITION or FIXED_PARTITION based on motions
in the video. The switching test is done once every
search_type_check_frequency frames.
The selection of source_var_thresh needs to be investigated
further later.
RTC set Borg test showed 0.424% overall psnr gain, and 0.357%
ssim gain. For clips with large enough static area, the
encoding speedup is around 2% to 15%.

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.

Copy up to a certain bsize, otherwise set to a fixed bsize.
This helsp to reduce artifact near moving boundary caused by full partition
copy without checking motion of super-block.
This artifact can occur at speeds 3,4 in real-time mode.

Turns off the DISABLE_RC_LONG_TERM_MEM macro and makes other changes
in the way the bits are updated, to make 2-pass rate control track
target bitrates closer.

This commit optimizes the bit allocation for the non-RD coding flow.
It applies slightly better quantizer to the frames, where all blocks
run a non-RD partition search. Such frames typically have better
rate-distortion trade off, thus improving the reconstruction quality
for next few frames reference at reasonably low increment in rate
cost.
The coding performance for rtc set at speed -5 with error-resilient
tuned on and rate control set as cbr is improved by 19.58%. It improved
the coding speed by about 10% for a portion of local test clips.
