Add a flag to always enable block4x4 search for speed=0 (good
quality) to guarantee no quality loss for speed0.

The maximum possible MV in 1/8 pel units is (1<<11), which could
cause mvcost out of its range that is 1023. Change maximum
possible MV in 1/8 pel units to (1<<11)-8 will fix this problem.

Further experiment with restriction of the Q range.
This uses the average non KF/GF/ARF quantizer, instead
of just relying on the initial value. It is not such a strong constraint
but there may be a reduced risk of rate misses.

The merge includes hooks to for CQ mode and other code
changes merged from the test branch.
CQ mode attempts to maintain a more stable quantizer within a clip
whilst also trying to adhere to a guidline maximum bitrate.
The existing target data rate parameter is used to specify the
guideline maximum bitrate.
A new parameter allows the user to specify a target CQ level.
For normal (non kf/gf/arf) frames, the quantizer will not drop BELOW the
user specified value (0-63). However, in some cases the encoder may
choose to impose a target CQ that is above that specified by the user,
if it estimates that consistent use of the target value is not compatible
with guideline maximum bitrate.

In two pass encoding each frame is given an active
Q range to work with. This change limits how much this
Q range can be altered over time from the initial estimate
made for the clip as a whole.
There is some danger this could lead to overshoot or undershoot
in some corner cases but it helps considerably in regard to
clips where either there is a glut or famine of bits in some sections,
particularly near the end of a clip.

count can be reduced to short because the max number of filtered frames
is set to 15. the max value for any frame is 32 (modifier = 16,
filter_weight = 2). 15*32 = 480 which requires 9 bits
this function goes from about 7000 us / 1000 iterations for the C code
to < 275 us / 1000 iterations for sse2 for block_size = 16 and from
about 1800 us / 1000 iters to < 100 us / 1000 iters for block_size = 8

The following features don't make sense for the first
pass in its current form and have a significant impact on its
speed (up to 50%).
Slow quantizer, slow dct and trellis optimization.

Calculate a minimum intra value to be used in determining the
IIratio scores used in two pass, second pass.
This is to make sure sections that are low complexity" in the
intra domain are still boosted appropriately for KF/GF/ARF.
For now I have commented out the Q based adjustment of
KF boost.

Scott pointed out that last_frame_type only gets updated while
loopfilter exists. Since last_frame_type is also needed in
motion search now, it needs to be updated every frame.

Use the fast quantizer for inter mode selection and the
regular quantizer for the rest of the encode for good quality,
speed 1. Both performance and quality were improved. The
quality gains will make up for the quality loss mentioned in
I9dc089007ca08129fb6c11fe7692777ebb8647b0.

1. Search for block8x16/block16x8 uses block8x8's search results.
2. Check block4x4 only if block8x8 is chosen. (This hurts quality,
which will be improved in another check-in.)
3. In block4x4 search, the previous block's result is used as
MV predictor for next block.
This change improves performance.

Re-calibrated sad_per_bit16 and sad_per_bit4 tables to linearly
correlated to quantizer values, these two variables are used in
motion search for costing motion vectors. This change has an small
positive effect on compression.

stats_close() was not freeing memory for
single pass runs. It now takes in arg_passes
to determine when it should free memory.

the lookup table is based on floating point calculations (see source)
by moving the *3 before the downshift and adding the rounding bit, the
delta (LUT - integer) goes from:
______________________________________
__ 1__ 1______________________________
__ 1__ 1______________________________
____ 1______ 1________________________
____ 1 2__ 2 1________________________
______ 1 1 2__ 2__ 2__ 2 1 1__________
________ 1 1 2 2__ 1 2 3 1 2__ 2__ 2__
to:
__-1__-1______________________________
______________________________________
____-1______-1________________________
______________________________________
________-1______________-1____________
______________________________________
it's important to be able to use the integer version because the LUT
more or less precludes SIMD optimizations

allow for optimized versions of apply_temporal_filter
(now vp8_apply_temporal_filter_c)
the function was previously declared as static and appears to have been
inlined. with this change, that's no longer possible. performance takes
a small hit.
the declaration for vp8_cx_temp_filter_c was moved to onyx_if.c because
of a circular dependency. for rtcd, temporal_filter.h holds the
definition for the rtcd table, so it needs to be included by onyx_int.h.
however, onyx_int.h holds the definition for VP8_COMP which is needed
for the function prototype. blah.
