The point at which frames are scaled to their
coded dimensions is moved into the re-code loop.
This is in preparation for a further patch that
will add logic into the re-code loop to reduce
the coded frame size if the encoder is struggling
to hit the target data rate at the native frame
size.

Add second level arf Q adjustment when using dual arfs
in constant Q mode.
Previously in constant Q mode enabling dual arf hurt by ~5%
but with this change the average benefit is ~1-1.5% with some
mid range data points up ~10%.
Note however that it still hurts on some clips including
some very low motion show content.

This patch allocated frame contexts outside VP9_COMMON. This allows
multiple threads to share the same copy of frame contexts, and
reduces the overhead. It also guarantees the correct update of
these contexts during bitstream packing. This patch doesn't change
encoding result.

The initialization of this_mode_pred does not work when the ref_frame
loop ever goes beyond LAST_FRAME. This commit fixes the subtle issue
and allows potentially expanding the loop to test GOLDEN_FRAME.

This commit refactors the rate distortion structure used in the
non-RD coding mode and saves a few RDCOST calculations.

The existing speed features produce horrible encoding results, almost
30% worse than cpu-used=4, this commit adjust the speed features to
produce relatively resonable results to be within 3%-5% of cpu-used=4.

Its functionality has been replaced with choose_partitioning and
threshold based control on split mode check.

This speed feature has been deprecated in both yt and rtc coding
modes. This commit removes the related operations.

This commit re-designs the recursive partition search scheme in
rtc speed -5. It first checks if the current block is under cyclic
refresh mode. If so, apply recursive partition search. Otherwise,
perform sub-sampled pixel based partition selection. When the
pre-selection finds the partition size should be 32x32 or above,
use the partition size directly. Otherwise, apply partition search
at nearby levels around the preset partition size.
It is enabled in speed -5. The compression performance of rtc
speed -5 is improved by 9.4%. Speed wise, the run-time goes slower
from 1% to 10%.

Extend --auto-alt-ref from parameter so we can use it to
turn multi-arf on and off from the command line.
For now the range is 0-off, 1-on, 2-multi-arf on.
Rename play_alternate to enable_auto_arf

All sad function that process above 32 consecutive elements are optimized
for AVX2:

vp9_sad32x64
vp9_sad32x32
vp9_sad32x16
vp9_sad64x64_avg
vp9_sad64x32_avg

vp9_sad32x16_avg
The functions that appeared as a hotspot is vp9_sad32x32 and vp9_sad64x64
vp9_sad32x32 was optimized by 68% and vp9_sad64x64 was optimized by 90%
both of them gave and overall ~2.3% user level gain

Currently, the tokens for a tile are stored immediately after its
preceding tile, which causes a dependency. This is unnecessary
since we always allocate enough memory for tokens. Removing
the dependency allows token writing done in parallel. This patch
doesn't change encoding result.
