When the modified_error_left accumulator exceeds INT_MAX, an incorrect
cast to int resulted in a negative value, causing the rate control to
allocate no bits to that keyframe group, leading to severe undershoot
and subsequent poor quality.
This error was exposed by the recent change to the rolling target and
actual spend accumulators in commit 305be4e4 which fixed them to
actually calculate the average value rather than be re-initialized
on every frame to the average per-frame bitrate. When this bug was
triggered, the target bitrate could be 0, so the rolling target
becomes small, which causes the undershoot. The code prior to 305be4e4
did not exhibit this behavior because the rolling target was always
set to a reasonable value and was independent of the actual target
bitrate. With this patch, the actual target bitrate is calculated
correctly, and the rate control tracks as expected.
This cast was likely added to silence a compiler warning on a comparison
between a double (modified_error_left) and an int (0). Instead, this
patch removes the cast and changes the comparison to be against 0.0,
which should prevent the warning from reoccuring.
This fixes issue #289. Special thanks to gnafu for his efforts in
reporting and debugging this fix.

AMD64 only implies SSE2, not SSE3. There aren't any known cases where
icc was generating SSE3 instructions since all the vectorizable code
is already in handwritten asm, so this fix is included mostly for
correctness. Fixes issue #259.

This fixes an overflow problem in the frame error accumulators.
The overflow condition is extreme but did trigger when Frank B.
coded some high motion interlaced HD content.
The observed effect was a catastrophic breakdown of the rate
control leading to massive undershoot and poor bit allocation.
All the error values should really be unsigned but I will look at this
separately.

Currently, when the video frame width is not multiples of 16, the
source buffer has a stride of non-multiples of 16, which forces
an unaligned load in SAD function and hurts the performance. To
avoid that, this change allocates source buffers to be multiples
of 16.
