prior to encoding. Off by default, only on for speed=8 when
copy_partition is set.

When aq=3 mode is on and the gf_cbr_boost is set: make sure golden frame
is always refreshed, and don't incorporate segement cost in qp setting
on the boosted golden frame.
Better performance on RTC set with gf_cbr_boost on,
for example with gf_cbr_boost=50, gains from ~0.5-3%.

The source sad could be used to copy the partition without going into
choose_partitioning function to speed up vp9 encoding. Computing source
sad takes little time. Speed test on Android and Linux shows little
encoding time gain (less than 1.4%).
Turned off for now since partition copy is turned off.

Add feature to copy partition from the last frame.
The copy is only done under certain conditions that SAD is below threshold.
Feature is currently disabled, until threshold is tuned.
Feature will be initially used for Speed 8 (ARM).
Under extreme case of always copying partition for speed 8:
Encode time is reduced by 5.4% on rtc_derf and 7.8% on rtc.
Overall PSNR reduced by 2.1 on rtc_derf and 0.968 on rtc.

This commit enables asymptotic closed-loop encoding decision for
the key frame and alternate reference frame. It follows the regular
rate control scheme, but leaves out additional iteration on the
updated frame level probability model. It is enabled for speed 0.
The compression performance is improved:
lowres 0.2%
midres 0.35%
hdres 0.4%

This patch modified the motion search counts used in:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/305640/
These 2 counts were originally added as thread data, and used to
make decisions in motion search. The tile encoding order can be
inconsistent while using different number of threads, which can
cause bitstream mismatch. Here moved them to tile data to solve
the issue.

Re-use the tile worker threads to pack the bitstream in parallel

For 1 pass vbr real-time mode:
Allow for the usage of alt-ref frame when non-zero lag-in-frames is used.
Use non-filtered alt-ref, and select usage based on fast scene/content
analysis/detection within the lag of frames.
Positive gains on ytlive set: overall avgPSNR ~3-4%.
Several clips are up between 5-14%, a few clips are neutral/small change.
Current speed decrease is about ~5-10%.
Use the flag USE_ALTREF_FOR_ONE_PASS to enable this feature
(off by default for now).

change_config() may be called often in real-time application,

This patch is to address concerns that changes to allow
recodes on the first frame in each ARF group do not give a
good enough speed quality trade off for speed 2. Though the
average impact on encode speed is 1-2%, for some hard clips
it is > 5% rise. For speed 1 this is less an issue and for Speed 0
the previous patch actually improves speed.

Current commit is just an API template for the rest of the code, and
I will add inner logic later.
Altref frames generate a lot of bitrate and at the same time
other frames refer to them a lot, so it makes sense to apply
special compensation-based adaptive quantization scheme for altref
frames. E.g., for blocks that are good predictors for the future
apply rate-control chosen quantizer while for bad predictors apply
worse one.

This commit changes the call in vp9 encoder from vp9_deblock() to

Allow usage of lookahead for VBR in real-time mode, for 1 pass vbr.
Current usage is for fast checking of future scene cuts/changes,
and adjusting rate control (gf interval and active_worst/target size).
Added unittests (datarate) for 1 pass vbr mode, with non-zero lag.
Added an experimental option to limit QP based on lookahead.
Overall positive gain in metrics on ytlive set:
avgPNSR/SSIM up on average ~1-3%; several clips up by 5, 7%.

For forced key frames in particular this helps to make them
blend better with the surrounding frames where noise tends
to be suppressed by a combination of quantization and alt
ref filtering.
Currently disabled by default under and IFDEF flag pending
wider testing.

In Aq mode 1 the segment and AQ delta for each block is based
on spatial variance. There may be a net imbalance between blocks
that have lower Q than the baseline value and those that have higher Q.
This patch monitors that imbalance and extends the allowed baseline
Q range for the frame to accommodate adjustment of that baseline value
to compensate.
Change-Id: Iae8a48c7c01fe2af94a141e149d03acf467237ca
So it can be used even with aq-mode=3 not enabled.
Also cleans up some code in the places where its used.
No change in behavior.
