In model_rd_for_sb function, the spatial domain SSE and variance
are checked to see if transform coefficients are quantized to 0.
Besides that, this patch adds another set of thresholds that are
much more strict. These thresholds are used to conduct a partition
block level check to measure if all its TX blocks are skippable
for YUV planes. If it is true, x->skip is set for this partition
block, and thus its mode search is terminated.
This speeds up the encoding at very low prediction error case,
such as screen sharing application. This patch covers what
rd_encode_breakout_test() does, so that function is removed.
Borg test at speed 3 shows:
For stdhd set, psnr: +0.008%, ssim: +0.014%;
For derf set, psnr: +0.018%, ssim: +0.025%.
No noticeable speed change.

For input source with size that is not multiple of 8, the size is
rounded to 8 and saved in width or height, the original source sizes
are saved in crop_width and crop_height. This commit corrects the
computation of bottom and right extension amounts to use the orignal
sizes, hence crop_width and crop_height.
In addition, this commit also adds the missed initialization for
uv_crop_width and uv_crop_height.
This addresses issue #834

The concept:
There's too much noise in source pixels for variance and at low bitrate
the reconstructed looks nothing like the source so we have problems
getting good partitionings with either. This skirts the issue by using
a box blur scaled down version for variance calculations. To compare
against source_var_ moved keyframe to be rd based like source_var.

Fixed an encoder crash. Set skip_txfm to 0 for cases that skip_txfm
isn't calculated. Put memcpy of skip_txfm at right place.

The functions b_width_log2 and b_height_log2 only do direct
table fetch. This commit unifies such use cases by using the
table directly and removes these functions.

This SSE2 is based on VP8 denoiser's SSE2 code. In VP8, there are
only 16x16 blocks in denoiser, while in VP9, there are 13 different
block sizes.
By adding this SSE2 code, the improvement of encoder speed is around
20%(using C code vs using SSE2 code), vary for different clips.
The unit test for VP9 denoiser is to confirm that the SSE2 code is
bit-exact with the C code. The unit test covers all block size.

Adjustments to the GF interval choice and minimum boost.
Adjustment to the calculation of 2 pass worst q.
Compared to 09/29 head there is metrics hit on derf of
(-0.123%,-0.191%)
Compared to the September 29 head and a baseline on
September 18 baseline the accuracy of the VBR rate control
measured on the derf set is as follows:-
Mean error % / Mean abs(error %)
Sept 18 baseline (-7.0% / 14.76%)
Sept 29 head (-15.7%, 19.8%)
This check in (-1.5% / 14.4%)
The mean undershoot is reduced slightly but the
worst case overshoot on e.g. harbour/highway is
increased. This will be addressed in a later patch.

It is possible that the GOLDEN reference frame is not avaiable, in
which setting the predicted mv will be associated with a residual
value of INT_MAX. This commit checks this condition before
left shift and comparison with that of ALTREF frame, to avoid
overflow issue.

This commit enables the encoder to skip split partition search if
the bigger block size has all non-zero quantized coefficients in low
frequency area and the total rate cost is below a certain threshold.
It logarithmatically scales the rate threshold according to the
current block size. For speed 3, the compression performance loss:
derf -0.093%
stdhd -0.066%
Local experiments show 4% - 20% encoding speed-up for speed 3.

Incorporates the WRAPLOW macro into the non-highbitdepth transforms
to aid hardware verification between a software C model and an
intended hardware implementation though the use of the configure
options: --enable-experimental --enable-emulate-hardware.
Note that to avoid further discrepancies between the sse/sse2
implementations of the transforms and the C implementation, when the
emulate hardware option is invoked, we also disable sse/sse2/etc.
Also incudes some minor cleanups/renaming etc.
