Increase in the damping used in adjusting the active Q range.
This does hurt rate accuracy a little in a few extreme cases
especially if the clip is very short*, but helps metrics.
* Note that the adjustment is applied at the GF/ARF group level based
on what happened in the last group. Hence for very short clips where
the length of a single group may be a significant % of the clip length
there is still scope for some drift that cannot be accommodated.
In practice most data points in our test sets are now much closer to target
than was previously the case with default settings and in some cases are
better even than they were with the command line undershoot and overshoot
parameter was set very low (e.g. 2%). For example in bridge_close at high rates
the old mechanism was unable to adapt enough to prevent extreme overshoot.

Change to the calculation of the error divisor used in
get_twopass_worst_quality(). This follows on from other
changes to the rate control that impact the output of this
function.

Changes to the function the redistributes bits from overshoot
or undershoot throughout the rest of the clip to respond more
quickly.
Change-Id: I90f10900cdd82cf2ce1d8da4b6f91eb5934310da
Added a factor based on the bit spend in the last arf group vs the
target to adjust the choice of the active worst quality in subsequent
groups.
Helps clips where previously there was a big overshoot or undershoot
to adapt and get closer to the target rate.

The use of this value is preventing rate adjustment on clips
or sections that have very little motion but high noise and
this can give rise to some sections with massive overshoot.

Skip intra-mode and some inter-modes (newmv, nearmv, nearestmv) for
golden frame if the variance got from choose_partitioning is very low.
Only for 1 pass real-time CBR mode and bsize >= 32x32, it has ~2.5%
speed up with less than 0.1% PSNR drop for rtc test set. Don't see
visual regression.

For non-rd pickmode:
best_pred_sad, computed for NEWMV-last, is only used for
skipping golden non-zero modes. Add condition to avoid this
computation if not used (i.e, if golden nonzero modes are not used).
And remove code for computing best_pred_sad for NEWMV-golden,
since that sad is not used.
No change in behavior; small speed gain (~1%) for svc encodes.

Function level timing test shows about 27% time saving on
a Xeon E5-2680 v2 desktop.
Rename vp9_dct_sse2.c to vp9_dct_intrin_sse2.c for vp9 and
rename dct_sse2.c to dct_intrin_sse2.c for vp10 to avoid
duplicate basenames.
Actually vp9_fwht4x4_mmx/sse2() and vp10_fwht4x4_mmx/sse2()
are identical. TODO: They should be unified later if there is
no intention to keep a duplicate.

vp9_diamond_search_sad_avx was disabled in:
057c1c4 disable vp9_diamond_search_sad_avx
this removes a missing prototype warning as the prototype is no longer
included in vp9_rtcd.h. the file can be restored if someone gets around
to fixing the issue.

Bug found by Yunqing relating to the correction for size at 8K and
above in get_twopass_worst_quality().
The basis for the correction was changed to the linear size relative to
1080P as a baseline and the adjustment has been clamped to prevent
problems at extreme images sizes.
For 1080P the results on our test sets were neutral but the low res and
mid res sets saw a small gain (0.1%-0.2% average).
I would also expect some gains on 4k and larger content where the
previous correction was overly aggressive.

block_variance: This operates on 8x8s and would be safe with a int32 *
int32 to uint32 multiply, but this is potentially unsafe for 12-bit
input. Unfortunately the code already segfaults on 12-bit input:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webm/issues/detail?id=1223
calculate_variance: This operates on up to a 32x32 of 8x8s and can
overflow even with 8-bit input (log2((256*32*32)**2) == 36).

Makes the delta-qp stop little earlier on areas that have been refreshed enough.
This helps to reduce some pulsing artifact on noisy flat areas observed in some
noisy vc-clips.
Threshold changes only take effect for sources where noise level is estimated to
be >= medium level.
