Enable adapt_partition for vbr mode for speed 6.
This allows the usage of the pickmode-based partition
(used in speed 5), but only selectively for superblocks
with high source sad, otherwise the faster variance based
partition scheme is used.
For speed 6 on ytlive set: avgPSNR/SSIM metrics up by ~0.6%,

Having a very low "lag_in_frames" value could cause the encoder to create
incorrect / corrupt ARF groups including displayed frames that update the
ARF buffer and false overlay frames that are coded at low rate but are not
actually overlays of a real ARF frame.
This is linked to a reported unit test "slow down" where the chosen parameters
(lag of 3 frames) gave rise to such "broken" ARF group(s).

Some clips in nightly unit test exhibiting significant encoder slowdown which
appears to bisect to Change-Id: I692311a709ccdb6003e705103de9d05b59bf840a.
The above change allowed for emergency iterations of the recode loop and
adjustment of the Q range if there is a large rate miss.
This patch disables the above adaptation for cases of cpu_speed >= 3 or more
specifically where cpi->sf.recode_loop >= ALLOW_RECODE_KFARFGF.
For speeds >= 3 the code does not currently run a dummy bit pack operation
inside the recode loop. Without this dummy pack operation there is no up to
date estimate of the current frame's size to use as a basis for assessing the
requirement for a recode. In practice it was using the previous frames size (or 0
for the first frame) which could cause odd behavior.
If we require the emergency rate correction added in Change-Id: I6923.. for
the higher speed settings it will be necessary to enable the dummy pack
which will in turn hurt encode speed.

Testing of 4k videos encoded with a fixed arbitrary chunking interval
uncovered a bug where by if a chunk ends 1 frame before a real scene cut,
the next chunk may be encoded with two consecutive key frames at the start
with the first being assigned 0 bits.
This fix insures that where there is a key frame group of length 1 it is
at least assigned 1 frames worth of bits not 0.

Originally, for the purpose of keeping a fast first pass, the first-pass
stats between row_mt_mode = 0 and row_mt_mode = 1 are not bit exact, but
that difference is very small that doesn't cause a mismatch between the
final bitstreams. However, if the encoder changes, this minor difference
may cause a mismatch. Thus, this patch always forces the first pass to
be bit exact.

When the superblock partition is based on the nonrd-pickmode,

This patch attempts to address a bug reported for 4K video.
https://b.corp.google.com/issues/62215394
In this instance a perfect storm of a moderate complexity section
followed by a much easier section where a CGI overlay helped to
suppress film grain noise, followed by a much harder and very grainy
section at the end, cause a massive local rate spike that pushed a chunk
over the upper allowed rate limit.
This patch detects cases where the rate for a frame is much higher than
expected and allows, in this special case, for rapid adjustment of the active
Q range.
For the example chunk in the bug report the target rate was 18Mb/s and the
observed rate was over 37 Mb/s with a surge for the last few frames to over
100Mb/s. This patch brings the overall chunk rate right back down to ~18.2 Mbit/s
and almost completely eliminates the rate spike at the end. (See graphs appended
to bug report)
Also see I108da7ca42f3bc95c5825dd33c9d84583227dac1 which fixes a bug
unearthed during testing of this patch and also has a bearing on high rate
encodes such as 4K.
This patch does have a negative impact on some metrics. Most notably there are
clips in our standard test set where it hurts global psnr (though in many cases it
conversely helps SSIM, FAST SSIM and PSNR-HVS). It is also worth noting that
the clips (and data rates) where there is a big metric impact, are almost all cases
where there is currently a significant overshoot vs the target rate and overall rate
accuracy is greatly improved.
