Change on affects 1 pass CBR.
On key frame, temporal layer_id is reset to 0 for 1 pass CBR,
but since "layer" is reset, the svc.layer_context[layer].is_key_frame
was not correspondingly set properly.

tm_predictor_4x4 is implemented with SSE2 using XMM registers.
Speed up by ~25% in ./test_intra_pred_speed.

--disable-XXX has the effect of disabling all extensions above it, e.g.,
--disable-ssse3 disables ssse3-avx2.

Remove MISC_FIXES flags except for the changes on MV precision, which
has a 0.1% performance drop.
On derflr, the impact is -0.012%.

Small changes to the best quality default speed trade off.
Some speedup settings are worth while even for best quality as they
have only a very small impact on quality but a significant impact on
encode time.
These changes give as much as a further 50-60% increase in encode
speed for my test animations clip with minimal impact on quality.
For this sequence these changes improve the best quality encode speed
to about the same level as good quality speed 0 in Q3 2015 whilst
retaining the large quality gain of over 1 db
For many natural videos though the quality difference from good 0
to best is much smaller.

Reset the effective range of inter_tx_size, instead of the entire
array in the rate-distortion optimization loop.

This is simpler than the previous scheme, which tried to allocate
the CRITICAL_SECTION struct in a thread-safe manner before it
could use it to run the wrapped function in a thread-safe manner.

This change alters the nature and use of exhaustive motion search.
Firstly any exhaustive search is preceded by a normal step search.
The exhaustive search is only carried out if the distortion resulting
from the step search is above a threshold value.
Secondly the simple +/- 64 exhaustive search is replaced by a
multi stage mesh based search where each stage has a range
and step/interval size. Subsequent stages use the best position from
the previous stage as the center of the search but use a reduced range
and interval size.
For example:
stage 1: Range +/- 64 interval 4
stage 2: Range +/- 32 interval 2
stage 3: Range +/- 15 interval 1
This process, especially when it follows on from a normal step
search, has shown itself to be almost as effective as a full range
exhaustive search with step 1 but greatly lowers the computational
complexity such that it can be used in some cases for speeds 0-2.
This patch also removes a double exhaustive search for sub 8x8 blocks
which also contained a bug (the two searches used different distortion
metrics).
For best quality in my test animation sequence this patch has almost
no impact on quality but improves encode speed by more than 5X.
Restricted use in good quality speeds 0-2 yields significant quality gains
on the animation test of 0.2 - 0.5 db with only a small impact on encode
speed. On most clips though the quality gain and speed impact are small.
