ARF overlays now use the same rate correction factor as regular inter
frames, further testing would be needed to see if it makes sense to use
a completely separate rate correction factor for ARF overlays.

Turns off the DISABLE_RC_LONG_TERM_MEM macro and makes other changes
in the way the bits are updated, to make 2-pass rate control track
target bitrates closer.

This commit reduces the frequency of frames using finer quantizer
in non-RD coding flow, and slightly tune up the quantizer resolution
when used. It provides 1.7% compression gains in speed -5 at no speed
difference.

The new tolerance is a little higher than before (especially
for kf/gf/arf) so this change gives an encode speed up
for some clips up for speeds 0-2.

This code/setting was actually not used (since speed features were not set on first frame,
until a recent change) and should be removed.
In CBR mode, the q value for the first frame can be controlled by setting
the target size via the parameters rc_buf_initial_sz (and max_intra_size_pct).
Change-Id: I65afc64972b36c449bd5a8c25800e65da5389066
Use a crude correction factor to correct for
lower compression efficiency at higher encode
speeds when estimating the max Q for the
clip.

This commit optimizes the bit allocation for the non-RD coding flow.
It applies slightly better quantizer to the frames, where all blocks
run a non-RD partition search. Such frames typically have better
rate-distortion trade off, thus improving the reconstruction quality
for next few frames reference at reasonably low increment in rate
cost.
The coding performance for rtc set at speed -5 with error-resilient
tuned on and rate control set as cbr is improved by 19.58%. It improved
the coding speed by about 10% for a portion of local test clips.
Change-Id: I9d56696cd4359dc8136ca10aff10fff05aaa2686
Adds a method for determining a fixed size partition based on
variance of a 64x64 SB. This method is added to rtc speed 6.
Also fixes a bug in rtc_use_partition() and includes some
refactoring related to partitioning search, and some cosmetics.
Currently compared to speed 5, the coding efficiency of speed 6
is -19% and that of speed 7 is -55%, in cbr mode.

Only use layered average size if number_temporal_layers > 1.
Also removed unneeded commented-out line, and change some parameter
setting in vpx_temporal_scalable_patterns.c
Change-Id: Ic86e43e7daf0313e8c5a4aba1497299158111955
Removes certain cases of feedback of active_worst_quality,
and removes it from the RATE_CONTROL structure. Now active
worst quality is expected to be computed locally in the
q picking function during the encode.
Making temporal filter strength depend on avg_frame_qindex
rather than on active_worst_quality actually improves
performance esp. for yt.
derf: +0.038%
yt: +0.359%

Some parameter changes and fixes on one-pass rate control.
derfraw300 is now only 10% below 2-pass speed 0 rate control.
Change-Id: I1940eef8a5a035dc18e71b880d5e00cabd1f01b9
-Properly set the average frame size for each layer.
-Allow each layer to update its average/last Q stats after encoding.
-Initialize for some layer context variables.
Change-Id: Iaa37d144fcf4f30ff4283a4e8db8b9ca8bf4c815
Fixes some of the parameters for 1-pass non-cbr mode.
Also includes some cleanups, inlcuding refactoring of the
recode_loop options.
Results on derfraw300 improve by about 5-6%, so that the one-pass
mode is now 13% below the 2-pass mode in speed 0.
