Values now carried over frame to frame.
Change to algorithm for decreasing threshold after
a hit and to max threshold (now based on speed)
Removed some old commented out code relating to
VP8 adaptive thresholds.
The impact of these changes tested on Akiyo (50 frames)
and measured in terms of unit rd hits is as follows:
Speed 0 84.36 -> 84.67
Speed 1 29.48 -> 22.22
Speed 2 11.76 -> 8.21
Speed 3 12.32 -> 7.21
Encode speed impact is broadly in line with these.

Most of the focus so far has been on inter frames.
At high speed settings the key frame is now taking a high %
of the cycles.
This patch puts in some masking to reduce the number
of INTRA modes searched during key frame coding (as already
happens for inter frames) at higher speed settings
TODO: Develop this further with either adaptive rd thresholds
when choosing which intra modes to consider or some other
heuristic.
Impact.
At high speed settings on some clips the key frame was starting
to dominate. In a coding of the first 50 frames of AKIYO at speed
2 limiting the key frame intra modes to DC or TM_PRED resulted in
~30% overall speedup. For Bus the number was lower at ~4-5%.

vp9_short_idct10_16x16_add is used to handle the block that only have valid data
at top left 4x4 block. All the other datas are 0. So we could cut many
unnecessary calculations in order to save instructions.

It is possible to have invalid scale factors and not access them
during decoding. Error is reported if we really try to use invalid scale
factors.

Comment is wrong, we don't initialize any xd pointers. We only initialize
xd->planes[i]->dst and xd->planes[i]->pre[], which are actually initialized
for every block during the decoding.

This commit changes the partition search order of superblocks from
{SPLIT, NONE, HORZ, VERT} to {NONE, SPLIT, HORZ, VERT} for
consistency with that of sub8x8 partition search. It enable the use
of early termination in partition search for all block sizes.
For ped_area_1080p 50 frames coded at 4000 kbps, it makes the runtime
goes down from 844305ms -> 818003ms (3% speed-up) at speed 0.
This will further move towards making the in-search partition types
configurable, hence unifying various speed-up approaches.
Some speed 1 and 2 features are turned off during the refactoring
process, including:
disable_split_var_thresh
using_small_partition_info
Stricter constraints are applied to use_square_partition_only for
right/bottom boundary blocks. Will bring back/refine these features
subsequently. At this point, it makes derf set at speed 1 about
0.45% higher in compression performance, and 9% down in run-time.

Adds a couple of minor fixes, which may be absorbed in Jingning's
patch. Thanks to Guillaume for pointing these out.
Also adjusts the thresholds for speed 1 and 2 to 16 and 32
respectively, to keep quality drops small.
Results:
--------
derfraw300: threshold = 16, psnr -0.082%, speedup 2-3%
threshold = 32, psnr -0.218%, speedup 5-6%
stdhdraw250: threshold = 16, psnr -0.031%, speedup 2-3%
threshold = 32, psnr -0.273%, speedup 5-6%

It appears that the above/left mb_skip_coeff used during
the pick modes, is left over from the previously
encode frame. This patch initializes the flag to the default
value of zero.

Currently, the best quality mode in VP9 is not very well developed,
and unnecessarily makes the encode too slow. Hence the command line
default is changed to "good" quality. Also, the number of passes
default is changed to 2 passes as well, since 1-pass encoding is
not very efficient in VP9.
Besides, a number of VP9 defaults are set to the currently
recommended settings. With these changes, vpxenc
run with --codec=vp9 --kf-max-dist=9999 --cpu-used=0 should
work about the same as our borg results.
Note when the --cpu-used=0 option is dropped there will be a slight
difference in the output, because of a difference in the cpu-used
value for the first pass. Specifically, the default when unspecified
is to use cpu_used=1 for the first pass and cpu_used=0 for the
second pass. But when specified, both passes will use the cpu-used
value specified.
Note that this also changes the default for VP8 as being "good"
but other options stay unchanged.
