This commit changes the partition search order of superblocks from
{SPLIT, NONE, HORZ, VERT} to {NONE, SPLIT, HORZ, VERT} for
consistency with that of sub8x8 partition search. It enable the use
of early termination in partition search for all block sizes.
For ped_area_1080p 50 frames coded at 4000 kbps, it makes the runtime
goes down from 844305ms -> 818003ms (3% speed-up) at speed 0.
This will further move towards making the in-search partition types
configurable, hence unifying various speed-up approaches.
Some speed 1 and 2 features are turned off during the refactoring
process, including:
disable_split_var_thresh
using_small_partition_info
Stricter constraints are applied to use_square_partition_only for
right/bottom boundary blocks. Will bring back/refine these features
subsequently. At this point, it makes derf set at speed 1 about
0.45% higher in compression performance, and 9% down in run-time.

Adds a couple of minor fixes, which may be absorbed in Jingning's
patch. Thanks to Guillaume for pointing these out.
Also adjusts the thresholds for speed 1 and 2 to 16 and 32
respectively, to keep quality drops small.
Results:
--------
derfraw300: threshold = 16, psnr -0.082%, speedup 2-3%
threshold = 32, psnr -0.218%, speedup 5-6%
stdhdraw250: threshold = 16, psnr -0.031%, speedup 2-3%
threshold = 32, psnr -0.273%, speedup 5-6%

It appears that the above/left mb_skip_coeff used during
the pick modes, is left over from the previously
encode frame. This patch initializes the flag to the default
value of zero.

+ disable() -> disable_feature() for balance
this avoids shadowing the bash builtin 'enable' allowing the scripts to
be linted with checkbashisms

Currently, the best quality mode in VP9 is not very well developed,
and unnecessarily makes the encode too slow. Hence the command line
default is changed to "good" quality. Also, the number of passes
default is changed to 2 passes as well, since 1-pass encoding is
not very efficient in VP9.
Besides, a number of VP9 defaults are set to the currently
recommended settings. With these changes, vpxenc
run with --codec=vp9 --kf-max-dist=9999 --cpu-used=0 should
work about the same as our borg results.
Note when the --cpu-used=0 option is dropped there will be a slight
difference in the output, because of a difference in the cpu-used
value for the first pass. Specifically, the default when unspecified
is to use cpu_used=1 for the first pass and cpu_used=0 for the
second pass. But when specified, both passes will use the cpu-used
value specified.
Note that this also changes the default for VP8 as being "good"
but other options stay unchanged.

Adding set_contexts contexts function and call it instead of
set_contexts_on_border. Calling txfrm_block_to_raster_xy to get aoff and
loff.

Moving foreach_predicted_block_in_plane function to vp9_reconinter.c
because there is only one usage.

Updating implementation of vp9_get_pred_context_single_ref_p2 using
has_second_ref function to make code easier to read.

vp9_short_idct10_8x8_add is used to handle the block that only have valid data
at top left 4x4 block. All the other datas are 0. So we could cut several
unnecessary calculations in order to save instructions.

Check the minimum rate-distortion cost of regular quantization and
all zero coeffs cases in the sub8x8 inter prediction rd loop for
luma components. Use this as the cumulative rdcost sent to UV rd
estimation.

Cleans up the switchable filter search logic. Also adds a
speed feature - a variance threshold - to disable filter search
if source variance is lower than this value.
Results: derfraw300
threshold = 16, psnr -0.238%, 4-5% speedup (tested on football)
threshold = 32, psnr -0.381%, 8-9% speedup (tested on football)
threshold = 64, psnr -0.611%, 12-13% speedup (tested on football)
threshold = 96, psnr -0.804%, 16-17% speedup (tested on football)
Based on these results, the threshold is chosen as 16 for speed 1,
32 for speed 2, 64 for speed 3 and 96 for speed 4.
