Fix some bugs relating to the use of buffers
in the overlay frames.
Fix bug where a mid sequence overlay was
propagating large partition and transform sizes into
the subsequent frame because of :-
sf->last_partitioning_redo_frequency > 1 and
sf->tx_size_search_method == USE_LARGESTALL

This commit enables a fast path computational flow for forward
transformation. It checks the sse and variance of prediction
residuals and decides if the quantized coefficients are all
zero, dc only, or more. It then selects the corresponding coding
path in the forward transformation and quantization stage.
It is currently enabled in rtc coding mode. Will do it for rd
coding mode next.
In speed -6, the runtime for pedestrian_area 1080p at 1000 kbps
goes down from 14234 ms to 13704 ms, i.e., about 4% speed-up.
Overall coding performance for rtc set is changed by -0.18%.

In non-rd real-time mode, choosing smaller transform size in
encoding gives better video quality and good speed gain than
choosing larger transform size. This patch set tx size search
method to ALLOW_8X8, which is better than using 4x4 or other
larger sizes.
Borg tests on rtc set at speed 6 showed significant gain on quality.
PSNR gain: 11.034% and SSIM gain: 15.466%.
The speed gain is 5% - 12% for <720p clips, and 2% - 7% for
720p clips.

Right now there is just one place to check: xd->lossless and for the first
pass there is a function is_lossless_requested().

As a side-effect, the sad unit tests for VP8 and VP9
had to be separated.
Fixes a bug in original patch:
(https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/#/c/70163/8)
that was reverted due to a nightly test failure.

Use the appropriate subblock offset mode info rather than the parent
block base, when filling mbmi in the pc tree in nonrd_use_partition.
This mimics what is done in the vertical case and what is done for
both cases in nonrd_pick_partition.
This change has little practical effect at the moment since in speed 5
rt horizontal and vertical partitions are currently only used unpaired
at edges of the picture.

This commit changed to enable the encoder to adjust motion dection
speed threshold based on picture size. In addition, cpu-used 1 now
does a partition search every other frame instead of every third
frame for low resolution inputs.
The change has no quality/speed impact for 720p and above. Test
showed the change increase encoding time by between 3% to 6% for
cpu-used 2 encodiong of 360p sequences. It also has a compression
gain about .3%.
For cpu-used 2, the change resolved some very disturbing visual
artifacts in certain sequences when large block partitionings and
transforms are used as a result of copying the partition from a
previous frame.

The final goal is eventually to get rid of both itxm_add and fwd_txm4x4.
This patch does it in the decoder.

As a side-effect, the max_sad check is removed from the
C-implementation of VP8, for consistency with VP9, and to
ensure that the SAD tests common to VP8/VP9 pass.
That will make the VP8 C implementation of sad a little slower
but given that is rarely used in practice, the impact will be
minimal.

This commit enables a chessboard pattern for partition search. All
the black blocks run regular partition search ranging from 8x8 to
32x32. The rest white blocks take the nearby blocks' information
to adaptively decide the effective search range.
The compression performance for rtc set at speed -5 is down by 1.5%.
For pedestrian 1080p at speed -5, the runtime goes from 41594 ms to
39697 ms, i.e., about 5% faster.

This commit enables a background detection approach for adaptive
quantizer control. It combines the cyclic refresh pattern and the
background information to determine the segment id for adaptive
quantizer selection, prior to the non-RD mode decision process.
It hence allows proper quantization information update for a more
precise rate-distortion modeling in the non-RD mode decision.
The compression performance of speed -5 for rtc set is improved
by 2.5%, at no speed change.
