This is for the bidir-pred experiment. Previously the length of the
bi-predictive frame group interval is fixed at 2, i.e. one
bi-predictive frame may be inserted every other frame. This patch
makes the length adjustable, i.e. any positive number may be
specified, but the use of the backward ref will be turned off if the
bi-predictive frame group interval is larger than the golden frame
group.
Further, an additional rate factor level has been added:
INTER_LOW
, which applies to LAST_BIPRED_UPDATE frames that are not used as
references.

Major parts have been implemented as follows:
(1) Added BRF_UPDATE, LASTNRF_UPDATE, and NRF_UPDATE in firstpass.c;
(2) Added the handling for the scenario of
"cpi->common.show_existing_frame == 1" at the encoder;
(3) Added a new reference frame of BWDREF_FRAME;
(4) Have bwd-ref work with upsampled references.
Note that when the experiment of "ext_refs" turned on, this experiment
will be turned off automatically currently.
RD performance in Overall PSNR has been improved, compared against the
VP10 baseline:
lowres: Avg -3.312; BDRate -3.154
derflr: Avg -1.927; BDRate -1.176
midres: Avg -2.149; BDRate -2.001
hdres : Avg -0.567; BDRate -0.588

For testing implemented a fixed pattern and delta, 1 pass,
fixed Q, low delay mode.
This has not in any way been tuned or optimized.

(copied from VP9)
The one pass VBR mode selects a Q range based on a
moving average of recent Q values. This calculation
should have been excluding arf overlay frames as these
are usually coded at the highest allowed value. Their
inclusion skews the average and can cause it to drift
upwards even when the clip as a whole is undershooting.
As such it can undermine correct adaptation of the allowed
Q range especially for easy content.

Fix copied over from VP9 master to VP10 master.
Do not reset the alt ref active flag when overlaying the middle
arf(s) of a multi arf group.

Spatial/temporal svc code was removed. Verified using Borg test,
and the results before and after the change are matching.
