For 1 pass vbr real-time mode:
Allow for the usage of alt-ref frame when non-zero lag-in-frames is used.
Use non-filtered alt-ref, and select usage based on fast scene/content
analysis/detection within the lag of frames.
Positive gains on ytlive set: overall avgPSNR ~3-4%.
Several clips are up between 5-14%, a few clips are neutral/small change.
Current speed decrease is about ~5-10%.

This patch is to address concerns that changes to allow
recodes on the first frame in each ARF group do not give a
good enough speed quality trade off for speed 2. Though the
average impact on encode speed is 1-2%, for some hard clips
it is > 5% rise. For speed 1 this is less an issue and for Speed 0
the previous patch actually improves speed.

Current commit is just an API template for the rest of the code, and
I will add inner logic later.
Altref frames generate a lot of bitrate and at the same time
other frames refer to them a lot, so it makes sense to apply
special compensation-based adaptive quantization scheme for altref
frames. E.g., for blocks that are good predictors for the future
apply rate-control chosen quantizer while for bad predictors apply
worse one.

In Aq mode 1 the segment and AQ delta for each block is based

This change alters the nature and use of exhaustive motion search.
Firstly any exhaustive search is preceded by a normal step search.
The exhaustive search is only carried out if the distortion resulting
from the step search is above a threshold value.
Secondly the simple +/- 64 exhaustive search is replaced by a
multi stage mesh based search where each stage has a range
and step/interval size. Subsequent stages use the best position from
the previous stage as the center of the search but use a reduced range
and interval size.
For example:
stage 1: Range +/- 64 interval 4
stage 2: Range +/- 32 interval 2
stage 3: Range +/- 15 interval 1
This process, especially when it follows on from a normal step
search, has shown itself to be almost as effective as a full range
exhaustive search with step 1 but greatly lowers the computational
complexity such that it can be used in some cases for speeds 0-2.
This patch also removes a double exhaustive search for sub 8x8 blocks
which also contained a bug (the two searches used different distortion
metrics).
For best quality in my test animation sequence this patch has almost
no impact on quality but improves encode speed by more than 5X.
Restricted use in good quality speeds 0-2 yields significant quality gains
on the animation test of 0.2 - 0.5 db with only a small impact on encode
speed. On most clips though the quality gain and speed impact are small.

This function now has an AVX intrinsics version which is about 80%

in 'cal_nmvjointsadcost' and 'cal_nmvsadcosts'.
For the joint cost:

For the component costs:
- For all i: mvsadcost[0][i] == mvsadcost[1][i]

Use the existing VP9_SET_SVC control to set the

Since we loop over all spatial layers inside the encoder, the
setting of spatial_layer_id via VP9_SET_SVC has no relevance.

If the encoder dynamic resize is triggered and change config()

Adds two new vp9 parameters --min-gf-interval and --max-gf-interval
to enable testing based on frequency of alt-ref frames.
Also adds a unit-test to test enforcement of min-gf-interval.
For both these parameters the default value is 0, which indicates
they are picked by the encoder, based on resolution and framerate
considerations. If they are greater than zero, the specified
parameter is honored.
(Additional note by paulwilkins)
Note that there is a slight oddity in that key frames are also GFs and
considered part of GF only group. However they are treated as not
being part of an arf group because for arf groups the previous GF is
assumed to be the terminal or overlay frame for the previous group.

to be at most one scale down for now.
Reset certain quantities after resize (buffer level, cyclic refresh,
rate correction factor).
Feature is enable via the setting rc_resize_allowed = 1.

set_frame_size() is being called twice, once before entering
encode_encode_frame_to_data_rate(), and once again in that function.
No need to call it twice for one-pass mode.

For content that is identified as likely to contain some
animation or graphics content, increase the availability
of split modes for good quality speeds 1-3.
On a problem test animation clip this improves metrics
results by about 0.25 db and makes a noticeable difference
visually. It also causes a small drop in file size (~0.5%) but
a rise in encode time of about 5-6% at speed 2.
For more normal content it should have no effect.

Some places are using the unoptimized variance function. This was never
intended and does not fit into the optimization framework.
