For choose_partitioning (speed >= 6): avoid computation
of minmax variance for non-reference frames in SVC.
Existing condition only avoided this for speed >= 8.
Combine that existing logic with non-reference condition.
Small speedup (~0.5-1%) for 3 layer SVC,
neutral change on avgPSNR/SSIM metrics.

For SVC with 3 spatial layers:
Add feature to copy/upscale partition from middle spatial layer
to the upper/highest resolution, when superblock sad is not high.
Enabled for speed >= 7 and only for non-reference frames.
Speedup ~3-4%, small loss in avgPNSR/SSIM of ~1%.
Change-Id: I7f0a2716c0fde28bade0f86159d11b7e31d6ab8d
For nonrd_pickmode: if early_term is set there should be
no need to include UV in rdcost (when color_sensitivity is set).
Neutral change on RTC and RTC_derf metrics, for speed >= 5.
No change for ytlive metrics.
Very small speed gain (~0.5%) on some clips with strong color content.

Allow for compound prediction mode in nonrd_pickmode for ZEROMV.
For real-time encoding, 1 pass with non-zero lag-in-frames.
Added speed feature to control the feature.
Enabled for speed >=6 for now, under VBR mode.
avgPSNR/SSIM metrics positive on ytlive set, for speed 6:
some clips up by ~3-5%, some clips neutral gain, average gain
across clips is ~1%.
Small/negligible decrease in speed.

Change type of sum_error from int64_t to int32_t.

Set adaptive_row_thresh_mt = 1 at speed >= 7,
for svc when multi-threading is used with row-mt.
This allow the adaptive_rd_thresh feature to be used
in the nonrd-pickmode.
~1-2% speedup for SVC encoding with small quality
loss (< 0.6%) on RTC set.

Note this change will trigger the different C version on SSSE3 and
generate different scaled output.
Its speed is 2x compared with the version calling vpx_scaled_2d_ssse3().

Small inncrease the sad_thresh1, avoids some false
detection of possible scene changes within lag.
Small improvement in few clips on ytlive, otherwise neutral change.

Expose the threshold for setting key frame on cut,
and increase it for speed 5.
Also small adjustment to min_thresh.
No change in overall metrics or fps.
Small quality improvement and lower encode time on scene cuts.

The initial allocation of bits in the two pass code to each frame
should be within the min max limits on the command line. However,
when forming an ARF group the cost of the ARF is shared by frames
in that group such that the residual bits for a frame could drop below
the min value. This change prevents the minimum being re-applied
after the cost of the ARF has been deducted as this may otherwise
cause low rate sections to overshoot their target.
Test runs comparing to a baseline run with min and max section pct
0-2000% vs one closer to the YT use case (50-150%) suggest that
this fix not only results in better rate control but also gives a better
rd outcome.
For example the HD set vs 0-2000% baseline (opsnr, ssim).
Old code (50-150): +0.751, +1.099
New code(50-150): +0.241, -0.009

For 1 pass vbr: use higher threshold on avg_sad
and force key frame under scene cut detection if
above the threshold. Allow it for speed >= 6 for now,
since it does not use the full nonrd_pickmode partition
(as in speed 5).
Improves quality somewhat on scene cut frames.
Neutral on overall metrics and fps for speed 6 on
ytlive set.

Change to the bit allocation within a GF/ARF group.
Normal VBR and CQ mode allocate bits to a GF/ARF group based of the mean
complexity score of the frames in that group but then share bits evenly between
the "normal" frames in that group regardless of the individual frame complexity
scores (with the exception of the middle and last frames).
This patch alters the behavior for the experimental "Corpus VBR" mode such that
the allocation is always based on the individual complexity scores.
Change-Id: I5045a143eadeb452302886cc5ccffd0906b75708
This patch makes further changes to support an experimental
corpus wide VBR mode that uses a corpus complexity
number as the midpoint of the distribution used to allocate bits
within a clip, rather than some average error score derived from the
clip itself.
At the moment the midpoint number is hard wired for testing and
the mode is enabled or disabled through a #ifdef. Ultimately this
would need to be controlled by command line parameters.

This reverts commit 9311ef18b4.

For 1 pass vbr: increase min_thresh slightly, and also add
condition on golden/arf update for using full nonrd_pick_partition.
Reduces possible false detection for scene cut detection.
Neutral/small change in metrics or speed for speed 5.

Small/neutral change in metrics or speed for ytlive.
Some improvement in quality on frames with big content change.
Change-Id: Ib3b0703a5f28ea6710e90324436e27598ab7384d
Lower SAD threshold to select non_rd pickmode partition
at superblock level more often.
Small gain in metrics, small/negligible decrease in speed.
Change-Id: I0f728236b91a604e4ca7e02039adc54d5985c4dc
For 1 pass vbr speed >= 6: when REFERENCE_PARTITION is selected,
avoid doing the full nonrd_pickmode based partition.
No change in overall metrics or speed.
Reduces encode times on scene cuts by 10-20%.
Change-Id: I0310b1610cc1c83793a509e0a9059840e8f18308
For 1 pass vbr mode:
On no-show_frame/ARF: instead of skipping alt_ref_frame
completely in mode testing, allow for checking (0, 0) on alt_ref.
Small gain in metrics, ~0.18%, no change in speed.
Change-Id: I32a3c24faca64ab70dd5091071a0dc301db7dd1e
For 1 pass vbr: when significant content/scene change is detected
(high_source_sad = 1) reduce/turnoff the additional qdelta on the
active_worst_quality. This helps somewhat to reduce the occurrence
of large frame sizes and large encode times.
Allow it only when use_altef_onepass is enabled.
Neutral/no change on metrics.
Change-Id: I1dd97dd2ab892d65f707b841b27a5de300b714ea
For speed 6 real-time mode: use adapt_partition
on ARF frame instead of REFERENCE_PARTITION (which is slower).
This requires enabling compute_source_sad_onepass for no-show_frames.
Speedup of ~3-5% on some clips that heavily use ARF,
small loss (~0.2%) in quality on ytlive set.

Scale 3x3 block instead of 16x16 block in each loop. Disabled by
default.
Benefits:
1. Reduced number of different phase_scaler from 16 to 3.
Optimization code will be smaller and faster.
2. Maximum phase_scaler drifting will be reduced from 5/16 to 1/24.
(The drifting is 1/(3*16) in each step.)
