In the full-rd transform size search, we go through all transform
sizes to choose the one with best rd score. In this patch, an
early termination is added to stop the search once we see that the
smaller size won't give better rd score than the larger size. Also,
the search starts from largest transform size, then goes down to
smallest size.
A speed feature tx_size_search_breakout is added, which is turned off
at speed 0, and on for other speeds. The transform size search is
turned on at speed 1.
Borg test results:
1. At speed 1,
derf set: psnr gain: 0.618%, ssim gain: 0.377%;
stdhd set: psnr gain: 0.594%, ssim gain: 0.162%;
No noticeable speed change.
3. At speed 2,
derf set: psnr loss: 0.157%, ssim loss: 0.175%;
stdhd set: psnr loss: 0.090%, ssim loss: 0.101%;
speed gain: ~4%.

This commit enables the encoder to record the location of the
center frame to generate alter reference frame. It then allows to
skip checking prediction modes of other reference frame types when
it comes to encode this frame.
The speed 3 runtime is reduced for the test sequences:
bus at CIF 1000 kbps, 9791 ms -> 9446 ms, i.e., 3.5% speed-up,
pedestrian at 1080p 2000 kbps, 184043 ms -> 175730 ms, i.e., 4.5%
speed-up.
No compression performance change observed.

1. Clean the code for encode frame tests
2. Add encode w/ and w/o alt reference frame test
3. Add encode SNR layers test
4. Add encode multiple layers but decode partial layers test

This reverts commit 5509b7fd8f
Observed a big drop in compression quality and speed for speed 1 for a 360p test clip, revert this now for investigation.

According to the current API spec we need to call vpx_codec_encode() until
vpx_codec_get_cx_data() returns NULL.

Add a speed feature to give the tighter partition search
range. Before partition search, calculate the histogram
of the partition sizes of the left, above and previous
co-located blocks of the current block. If the variance of
observed partition sizes is small enough, adjust the search
range around the mean partition size, which will be tigher.
The feature is currently turned on at speed 2. Experiments on
sample youtube clips show on average the runtime is reduced
by 3-7%.
For hard stdhd clips:
park_joy_1080p @ 15000kbps: 509251 ms -> 491953 ms (3.3%)
pedestrian_area_1080p @ 2000kbps: 223941 ms -> 214226 ms (4.3%)
The PSNR performance is changed:
derf: -0.112%
yt: -0.099%
hd: -0.090%
stdhd:-0.102%

- Fix nit: make test function definitions match test order.
- Fix nit: use elog instead of echo for env verification error.

When configuring the buffer make sure to set all the (now) required
fields. Use the canonical variables and match the style from vpx_scale.

this test allocates >2GB currently. depending on the order of the test
runs the allocation may fail most regularly with mingw+wine.
