This change has been imported from VP9 and
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 natural video clips, however, where the step search
is performing well, the quality gain and speed impact are small.

For non-rd variance partition: Adjust variance threhsold based
on noise level estimate. This change allows the adjustment to be
updated more frequently.

The range_check is not used because the bit range
in fdct# is not correct. Since we are going to merge in a new version
of fdct# from nextgenv2, we won't fix the incorrect bit range now.

For low resolutions, whem 4x4downsample is used for variance,
use the same force split (that is used for 8x8downsample) for 16x16 blocks.
No change in metrics. Small improvement visually.

For non-rd variance partition: only allow minmax computation
(which currently has no arm-neon optimization) for speeds < 8.
Performance loss is small: On RTC set with speed 8, few clips lose ~2/3%,
average loss is < 1%.
