For the test clip used, the decoder performance improved by ~2%.
This is also an intermediate step towards adding back the
mode_info streams.

Force split on 16x16 block (to 8x8) based on the minmax over the 8x8 sub-blocks.
Also increase variance threshold for 32x32, and add exit condiiton in choose_partition
(with very safe threshold) based on sad used to select reference frame.
Some visual improvement near moving boundaries.
Average gain in psnr/ssim: ~0.6%, some clips go up ~1 or 2%.
Encoding time increase (due to more 8x8 blocks) from ~1-4%, depending on clip.

The vbp thresholds are set seperately for boosted/non-boosted
superblocks according to their segment_id. This way we don't
have to force the boosted blocks to split to 32x32.
Speed 6 RTC set borg test result showed some quality gains.
Overall PSNR: +0.199%; Avg PSNR: +0.245%; SSIM: +0.802%.
No speed change was observed.

This experiment biases the rd decision based on the impact
a mode decision has on the relative spatial complexity of the
reconstruction vs the source.
The aim is to better retain a semblance of texture even if it
is slightly misaligned / wrong, rather than use a simple rd
measure that tends to favor use of a flat predictor if a perfect
match can't be found.
This improves the appearance of texture and visual quality
on specific test clips but is hidden under a flag and currently
off by default pending visual quality testing on a wider Yt set.

Factor in segment#2 and skip blocks into the postencode estimated bits,
and increase somewhat the aggressiveness of the refresh.
PSNR/SSIM Metrics on RTC set go up by ~0.8/0.5%.

Use force_split to constrain the partition selection.
This is used because in the top-down approach to variance partition,
a block size may be selected even though one of its subblocks may have
high variance.
In this patch the selection of the 64x64 block size will only
be allowed if the variance of all the 32x32 subblocks are also below the threshold.
Stil testing, but some visual improvement for areas near slow moving boundary
can be seen. Metrics for RTC set increase by about ~0.5%.

The compression performance of speed -5 is on average 12.6% better
than speed -6. At lower bit-rates, the gains are typically 20% or
more. For 2-thread encoding, the speed -5 takes about 1.6x time of
speed -6.

Make the vp9_int_pro_motion_estimation() function return zero

Choose_partition uses only the last frame as reference frame in making
partition decision, this commit adds the check on how well Golden
frame with (0,0) predicts the current block, and uses GF(0,0) as
basis for partition decision if it produces better prediction.
The commit improves rtc speed 6 and 7 encoding by 0.14% and 0.19%
respectively.

This saves an extra 64x64 variance calculation and replaces two
32x32 variance functions with sad functions. The compression
performance change is unnoticeable.

Frame buffers are now allocated dynamically on-demand.
Entries in the reference frame map, cm->ref_frame_map,
may now be set to -1 (INVALID_IDX) to indicate that
there is not a valid reference buffer in that "slot".
All slots in the reference frame map are now initialized
to the empty state (-1) and each buffer is initialized
to have a reference count of 0.

Use rectangular block size for integral projection motion estimation
if the the 64x64 block has over half block outside the frame. This
avoids the issue that the motion information of these blocks is
dominated by the extended pixels, instead of the pixels of interest.

Instead using only a fixed threshold, this commit adapts the threshold
for color sensitivity decision to luma signal energy: chroma channel's
sse is at least 1/6 of that in luma for color sensitivity flag to be
set to active.
This recoups a large portion of the speed loss due to accounting for
chroma component costs in RTC mode decision.

This commit replaces the SAD with variance as metric for the
integral projection vector match. It improves the search accuracy
in the presence of slight light change. The average speed -6
compression performance for rtc set is improved by 1.7%. No speed
changes are observed for the test clips.
