This commit allows encoder to detect the cumulative rate-distortion
cost per transformed block inside a partition. If the cumulative
rd cost is already above the best rd value, it terminates the rest
operations and continue to next prediction mode test.
It reduces the runtime of bus at target bit-rate 2000 from 308 second
to 266 second, i.e., about 13% speed-up at no performance penalty.

sf->unused_mode_skip_lvl. Tests modes as normal for all
sizes at or below the given level. At larger sizes it skips
all modes that were not chosen at any smaller size.
Hence setting BLOCK_SIZE_SB64X64 is in effect off.
Setting BLOCK_SIZE_AB4X4 will only consider modes that
were chosen for one or more 4x4 blocks at larger sizes.
sf->reference_masking.
Do a test encode of the NONE partition at one size and create
a reference frame mask based on the best rd choice. In the
full search only allow this reference frame.
Currently it is testing 64x64 and repeats this in the full search.
This does not work well with Jim's Partition code just now and
is disabled by default.

This speed feature will skip searching the directional intra prediction
modes D63, D117, D27, D153 if the best intra mode so far is not one of
the diagonal, horizontal or vertical directions closest to the respective
directions being tested. In other words, this implements a sort of
binary search in the angular domain.
Speedup: about 9-10%
Results: -0.05% only on derfraw300.

(1) Refines the modeling function and uses that to add some speed
features. Specifically, intead of using a flag use_largest_txfm as
a speed feature, an enum tx_size_search_method is used, of which
two of the types are USE_FULL_RD and USE_LARGESTALL. Two other
new types are added:
USE_LARGESTINTRA (use largest only for intra)
USE_LARGESTINTRA_MODELINTER (use largest for intra, and model for
inter)
(2) Another change is that the framework for deciding transform type
is simplified to use a heuristic count based method rather than
an rd based method using txfm_cache. In practice the new method
is found to work just as well - with derf only -0.01 down.
The new method is more compatible with the new framework where
certain rd costs are based on full rd and certain others are
based on modeled rd or are not computed. In this patch the existing
rd based method is still kept for use in the USE_FULL_RD mode.
In the other modes, the count based method is used.
However the recommendation is to remove it eventually since the
benefit is limited, and will remove a lot of complications in
the code
(3) Finally a bug is fixed with the existing use_largest_txfm speed feature
that causes mismatches when the lossless mode and 4x4 WH transform is
forced.
Results on derf:
USE_FULL_RD: +0.03% (due to change in the tables), 0% encode time reduction
USE_LARGESTINTRA: -0.21%, 15% encode time reduction (this one is a
pretty good compromise)
USE_LARGESTINTRA_MODELINTER: -0.98%, 22% encode time reduction
(currently the benefit of modeling is limited for txfm size selection,
but keeping this enum as a placeholder) .
USE_LARGESTALL: -1.05%, 27% encode-time reduction (same as existing
use_largest_txfm speed feature).

Compute the rate-distortion cost per transformed block, and cumulate
the cost through all blocks inside a partition. This allows encoder
to detect if the cumulative rd cost is already above the best rd cost,
thereby enabling early termination in the rate-distortion optimization
search.

This should significantly speedup cost_coeffs(). Basically what the
patch does is to make the neighbour arrays padded by one item to
prevent an eob check in get_coef_context(), then it populates each
col/row scan and left/top edge coefficient with two times the same
neighbour - this prevents a single/double context branch in
get_coef_context(). Lastly, it populates neighbour arrays in pixel
order (rather than scan order), so we don't have to dereference the
scantable to get the correct neighbours.
Total encoding time of first 50 frames of bus (speed 0) at 1500kbps

Total encoding time for first 50 frames of bus (speed 0) @ 1500kbps
goes 2min34.8 to 2min14.4, i.e. a 10.4% overall speedup. The code is
x86-64 only, it needs some minor modifications to be 32bit compatible,
because it uses 15 xmm registers, whereas 32bit only has 8.

Added a speed feature that focuses only on thresholds
for new motion modes.
Moved sf->comp_inter_joint_search_thresh into speed
1. This has ~+0.4% impact on quality at speed 0 as
our quality reference baseline.
Slight adjustment to baseline thresholds.

This commit replaces zrun_zbin_boost, a method of biasing non-zero
coefficients following runs of zero-coefficients to be rounded towards
zero, with an explicit skip-block choice in the RD loop.
The logic is basically that if individual coefficients should be rounded
towards zero (from a RD point of view), the trellis/optimize loop should
take care of it. If whole blocks should be zero (from a RD point of
view), a single RD check is much more efficient than a complete
serialization of the quantization loop.
Quality change: derf +0.5% psnr, +1.6% ssim; yt +0.6% psnr, +1.1% ssim.
SIMD for quantize will follow in a separate patch. Results for other
test sets pending.

Renamed cpi->sf.first_step to cpi->sf.reduce_first_step_size
and changed its meaning such that it is a delta applied to
reduce the default first step size (>> x) in the motion search
rather than an absolute value.
The default first step size is already changed according to the image
dimensions (smaller for smaller images). cpi->sf.reduce_first_step_size
now applies a further correction from the default.

Change vp9_block_error() to return a 64bit error variable, change all
callers to expect a 64bit return value (this will prevent overflows,
which we basically don't check for at all right now). Remove duplicate
block_error() function, which fixed that through truncation. Remove
old (incompatible) mmx/sse2 block_error SIMD versions and replace with
a new one that returns a 64bit value.
Encoding time of first 50 frames of bus @ 1500kbps goes from 3min29 to
3min23, i.e. a 3% overall speedup.

Improves the rd modeling function and implements them using interpolation
from a table which is a little faster. Also uses sse as input to the
modeling function rather than var - since there is no dc prediction
used and as a result the sse works a little better.

Fixed point scaling factors are calculated once for each
reference frame by using integer division. Otherwise fixed point
scaling routines are used in all scaling calculations. This makes it
possible to calculate fixed point scaling factors on device driver
software and pass them to hardware and thus avoid division on hardware.
TODO:
- Missing check for maximum frame dimensions
(currently scaling uses 14 bits)
- Missing check for maximum scaling ratio
(upscaling 16:1, downscaling 2:1)
Problems:
- Straightforward fixed point implementation can cause error +-1
compared to integer division (i.e. in x_step_q4). Should only
be an issue for frames larger than 16k.

Split partition probabilities between keyframes and non-keyframes,
since they are fairly different. Also have per-blocksize interframe
