For real time CBR mode, use model_rd_for_sb_y for 32x32 if the sb is
a skin sb to avoid visual regression on the slowly moving face.

The transform block row and column positions are always available
outside the callees. There is no need to re-compute these values
again. This approach has been used by the decoder. This commit
removes txfrm_block_to_raster_xy() function.

For real time CBR mode, use model_rd_for_sb_y for 32x32 if the mode is
newmv last, which is less aggressive in skipping transform and
quantization, to avoid quality regression in some conditions.

For real-time CBR mode, use model_rd_for_sb_y_large instead of
model_rd_for_sb_y for 32x32 block. In the former model, transform
might be skipped more aggressively in some condtions, which speeds
up encoding time with only a little PSNR/SSIM drop on rtc test set.
No obvious visual quality regression.
PSNR effect on different speed settings:
speed 8 rtc: 0.129% overall PSNR drop, 0.137% SSIM drop
speed 7 rtc: 0.135% overall PSNR drop, 0.062% SSIM drop
speed 5 rtc_derf: 0.105% overall PSNR drop, 0.095% SSIM drop
Speed up:
gips_motion_WHD, 1mbps: 3.29% faster on speed 7, 2.56% faster on speed8
gips_stat_WHD, 1mbps: 2.17% faster on speed 7, 1.62% faster on speed8

In vp9_pick_inter_mode(), instead of using
vp9_get_pred_context_switchable_interp(xd) to assign filter_ref,
we use a less strict condition on assigning filter_ref.
This is to reduce the probabily of entering the flow of not
assigning filter_ref and then skipping filter search.

For VBR: (1) allow newmv mode for golden ref to
select interpolation filter (as in last ref case), and
(2) don't use the more aggressive tx-skip testing logic for large blocks.
Only affects 1 pass real-time vbr mode (speed >= 5).
PSNR/SSIM metrics on ytlive set are all positive, ~0.5-2% gain.

1. Skip golden non-zeromv and newmv-last for bsize >= 16x16 if the
temporal variance obtained from choose_partitioning is very low.
2. Skip horz and vert INTRA mode for speed 8.
This change works best on the clips with little noise and with some
motion (e.g. gips_motion which has > 5% speed up). PSNR drop is 1.78%
on rtc test set, no obvious visual quality regression found.

Skip intra-mode and some inter-modes (newmv, nearmv, nearestmv) for
golden frame if the variance got from choose_partitioning is very low.
Only for 1 pass real-time CBR mode and bsize >= 32x32, it has ~2.5%
speed up with less than 0.1% PSNR drop for rtc test set. Don't see
visual regression.

For non-rd pickmode:
best_pred_sad, computed for NEWMV-last, is only used for
skipping golden non-zero modes. Add condition to avoid this
computation if not used (i.e, if golden nonzero modes are not used).
And remove code for computing best_pred_sad for NEWMV-golden,
since that sad is not used.
No change in behavior; small speed gain (~1%) for svc encodes.

Move the logic for rechecking zeromv on denoised block out to simplify

block_variance: This operates on 8x8s and would be safe with a int32 *
int32 to uint32 multiply, but this is potentially unsafe for 12-bit
input. Unfortunately the code already segfaults on 12-bit input:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webm/issues/detail?id=1223
calculate_variance: This operates on up to a 32x32 of 8x8s and can
overflow even with 8-bit input (log2((256*32*32)**2) == 36).

First, we only set use_4x4_partition for key frame where we don't
denoise; second, envision we have small partitions, we should pass the
actual block size to denoiser and make an early termination if needed.

Avoid copy-block when denoising is at LowLow level (i.e., no denoising is done).
Instead, don't enter denoiser at all, and when level goes back up over kLowLow
do a reset in denoiser.

Some adjustments to inter-mode selection for vbr mode.
Condition some of the bias to low/zero motion on cbr mode, and
don't use int_pro_motion_estimation for golden ref
(treat it same as last ref).
Change only affect 1 pass vbr mode, speed >=5 (non-rd pickmode).
Encoding time increase within ~5%.
Avg PSNR/SSIM on RTC set increase by ~2%, all clips up,
ranging from 0.5 to 4%.

If a superblock contains alot of "skin" then force split
of 64x64 partition, and make some adjustments in mode selection.
This helps to reduce artifacts on moving face/skin areas at low bitrates.
