This commit fixes a bug related to skipping intra mode checking, by
using a separate variable to store the best prediction error from
inter mode. It avoids unintentionally overwriting intra mode

The use of use_lastframe_partitioning is totally removed in good-
quality encoding. Its usage in real-time encoding needs to be
evaluated to see if it can be removed too.
The Borg tests at speed 4 showed:
stdhd set: 0.220% psnr gain, 0.166% ssim gain;
derf set: 0.329% psnr gain, 0.476% ssim gain.
Speed test on selected clips showed 1.54% speedup.(Worst case:
pedestrian_area_1080p25.y4m, speed loss: 1.5%)
Change-Id: I1c844d329b0b5678558439b887297c1be7ddab00
The speedup in rd_pick_partition() function makes it possible
to drop use_lastframe_partitioning feature. By doing that, we
achieve good PSNR gain with small speed loss. Also, this makes
encoding loop less complicated. The code cleanup patch will
follow.
Borg tests showed:
1. At speed 2,
stdhd set: 0.201% PSNR gain, 0.133% SSIM gain;
derf set: 0.262% PSNR gain, 0.276% SSIM gain.
2. At speed 3,
stdhd set: 0.139% PSNR gain, 0.109% SSIM gain;
derf set: 0.447% PSNR gain, 0.442% SSIM gain.
The average speed loss over selected test clips is within 1%
with the worst case of 4%.

The rate costs calculated for inter modes are not precise in some
cases, which causes NEWMV is chosen instead of NEARESTMV, NEARMV,

1. stdhd set: 0.102% PSNR gain and 0.088% SSIM gain.
2. derf set: 0.147% PSNR gain and 0.132% SSIM gain.

This commit turns on adaptive motion search for ARF coding, in

When the first try of denoising turns out to be too much,
we will use a softer filter by adopting an adjustment to
make the result closer to original pixel (as in VP8 denoiser).
The old code made the adjustment in the wrong direction.

Use unsigned int type to store the sse in the pixel domain. The
precision is sufficient to handle sse of block size up to 64x64.
The transform domain version however needs int64_t, since there is

cause unsigned int overflow.

In the partition search, the encoder checks all possible
partitionings in the superblock's partition search tree.
This patch proposed a set of criteria for partition search
early termination, which effectively decided whether or
not to terminate the search in current branch based on the
"skippable" result of the quantized transform coefficients.
The "skippable" information was gathered during the
partition mode search, and no overhead calculations were
introduced.
This patch gives significant encoding speed gains without
sacrificing the quality.

We can use one frame context for each layer so that we don't have
to reset the probs every frame. But we can't use prev_mi since we
may drop enhancement layers. So we have to generate a non vp9
compatible bitstream and modify it in the player.
1. We need to code all frames as invisible frame to let prev_mi
not to be used. But in the bitstream we need to code the
show_frame flag to 1 so that the publisher will know it's
supposed to be a visible frame.
2. In the player we need to change the show_frame flag to 0 for
all frames. Then add an one byte frame into the super frame
to tell the decoder which layer we want to show.

In the full-rd transform size search, we go through all transform
sizes to choose the one with best rd score. In this patch, an
early termination is added to stop the search once we see that the
smaller size won't give better rd score than the larger size. Also,
the search starts from largest transform size, then goes down to
smallest size.
A speed feature tx_size_search_breakout is added, which is turned off
at speed 0, and on for other speeds. The transform size search is
turned on at speed 1.
