Add option in SVC to set the filter type and phase for
the frame level downsampling filters.
For 3 spatial layers: set downsampling filter type to bilinear
and set phase to 8, for lowest spatial layer.

This patch followed allow_exhaustive_searches feature modification and
continued to modify the encoder to achieve the determinism in the row
based multi-threaded encoding. While row-mt = 1 and using multiple
threads, the adaptive feature in encoder was disabled, which gave
BDRate gain(at speed 1, -0.6% ~ -0.7%; at speed 2, -0.46% ~ -0.59%),
but some encoder speed losses(7% ~ 10% at speed 1 and 3% ~ 6% at
speed 2). These speed losses were acceptable considering the speed
gains obtained from row-mt.

Replace by CAST_TO_BYTEPTR/SHORTPTR.
The rule is: if a short ptr is casted to a byte ptr, any offset
operation on the byte ptr must be doubled. We do this by casting to
short ptr first, adding offset, then casting back to byte ptr.

The scaling filter with zero shift will give sub-sampling for
2x downsampling. Allow for a phase shift to get an averaging filter.
Usage is for source scaling in 1 pass SVC mode for 1:2 downscale.
Reduces aliasing in downsampled image.
Keep the phase to 0/off for now.

Useful for SVC, where the top layer enhancement frames may
not update any reference buffers, as is the case for the
patterns in the 1 pass CBR SVC when #temporal_layers > 1.
~3% encoder speedup for SVC patterns with temporal layers
in 1 pass CBR mode.
Updated the SVC datarate tests for the mismatch frames.
Set the frame-dropper off in some tests with #temporal_layers > 1
so we can correctly set #mismatch frames. Adjusted rate target
threshold for tests where frame-dropper was turned off.

Refactor to split the 1 passs source sad computation into scene
detection (currently used for VBR and screen-content mode), and
superblock based source sad computation (used in non-rd CBR mode).
This allows the source sad computation for CBR mode to be
multi-threaded.
No change in compression.

For each superblock, keep track of how far from current frame
was the last significant content change, and use that (along
with GF distance), to turnoff GF search in non-rd pickmode.
Only enabled for speed >= 8.

Enable row-mt for SVC for real-time mode, speed >=5.
Add the controls to the sample encoders, but keep it off for now.
Add the control and enable it for the 1 pass CBR unittests.
For speed 7, 3 layer SVC, 2 threads, row-mt enabled gives about ~5% speedup.

new_mt is a very generic name that will get obsolete soon enough.
Since this is exposed as a codec control, renaming it to row_mt to
signify row level paralellism. Also renaming the ETHREAD_BIT_MATCH
codec control to ROW_MT_BIT_EXACT.

Only works for bitdepth = 8 when compiled with high bitdepth flag.
4x speed ups for handling 1:2 down/upsampling.

1) Dynamic resize for a single layer encoding
2) SVC encoding with 3 spatial layers
Results are bitexact with the patch and the speed gain (~4x) in the
scaling was verified.

Increase the variance partition thresholds for superblocks that
have low sum-diff (from source analysis prior to encoding frame).
Use it for now only for speed >= 7 or for denoising on.

This patch implements the row-based multi-threading within tiles in
the encoding pass, and substantially speeds up the multi-threaded
encoder in VP9.
Speed tests at speed 1 on STDHD(using 4 tiles) set show that the
average speedups of the encoding pass(second pass in the 2-pass
encoding) is 7% while using 2 threads, 16% while using 4 threads,
85% while using 8 threads, and 116% while using 16 threads.

VBR method that allows a wider Q range for the first normal frame
in each ARF group and then centers the min - max range for the rest of
the arf group on the chosen Q value for that first frame.
This allows for quite rapid adjustment of the active Q range even if the
initial estimate is poor.
In some cases where the ARF frames themselves are tending to
undershoot but the normal frames are overshooting this can still give
net undershoot. This can be corrected by allowing a larger Q delta for
arf frames but is usually is a sign that the allocation to the arfs was to
high.
