This commit makes the speed -6 and above use the reconstructed
boundary pixels for precise intra prediction. This allows more
intra prediction modes to be tested in the non-RD coding process.
Enabling horizontal and vertical intra prediction modes can
improve the speed -6 compression performance for rtc set
by 0.331%.

I0c5f010 changed to allow update golden reference buffer in CBR mode,
this commit changes the use of rate_correction_factor for those frames
to be aligned with the new usage. This commit attempts to solve two
issues:
a. Initialization of rate correction factor for Golden Frame
Prior to this patch, even the regular inter frame has been update
the rate correction factor based on content and encoding results,
the first golden frame would still use the ininitialized value
that can be way off.
b. Allowing rate correction factor update to be slightly faster
Prior to this patch, when the rate correction factor is off, the
update to the factor is too slow, the factor could not get close
to a semi-correct value even after many frames.
The commit helps all clips in psnr/ssim metric, but especially to
a few clip in RTC set that rate correction was way off. For example
thaloundeskmtgvga gained about .5dB for both overall/average psnr.

This commit integrates the non-RD mode decision process and the
encoding process into a single recursion scheme.

This patch was to fix the vpxdec fuzzing3 test failure. When an
error occurs, setjmp() is invoked, which calls the decoder
removing routine. In multiple thread situation, other threads
could try to access the frame context memory that is already
deallocated, thus causing a segfault.
An invalid unit test was added for this issue.

The aim of this patch is to apply a positive weighting to
frames that have a significant number of blocks that are
of low spatial complexity and are dark. The rationale behind
this is that artifacts tend to be more visible in such frames.
In this patch the weight is only applied in regard to the distribution
of bits between frames. Hence if all the frames share similar
characteristics (as is the case for most of our short test clips) there
will be little or no net effect.
However, the effect can be seen on some longer form test content.
For example Tears of steel baseline test:
2323.09 Kbit/s opsnr 39.915 ssim 74.729
With this patch:-
2213.34 Kbit/s opsnr 39.963 ssim 74.808
(Sligtly better metrics and about 5% smaller)
The weighting may well need some further tuning along side changes
to the aq modes.

This commit removes the cyclic aq mode dependency on
in_static_area and reworks the corresponding cut-off thresholds.
It improves the compression performance of speed -5 by 1.47% in
PSNR and 2.07% in SSIM, and the compression performance of speed
-6 by 3.10% in PSNR and 5.25% in SSIM. Speed wise, about 1% faster
in both settings at high bit-rates.

This will save the memory and improve the decode speed due to
removing unnecessary memset of big prev_mi array for
all the key frames.
Decoding a all key frames 1080p video shows speed improve around 2%.

This commit makes the RTC coding mode to conditionally skip the
reference frame mode search, when the predicted motion vector of
the current reference frame gives more than two times sum of
absolute difference compared to that of other reference frames.
It reduces the runtim by 1% - 4% for speed -5 and -6. The average
compression performance is improved by about 0.1% in both settings.
It is of particular benefit to light change scenarios. The
compression performance of test clip mmmovingvga.y4m is improved by
6.39% and 15.69% at high bit rates for speed -5 and -6, respectively.

This commit unfolds the legacy macro definitions used in the
sub-pixel motion search and refactors the operational flow for
later optimizations.

The current logic was allowing for disabling golden refresh only
for two pass svc encoding. This change disables it as long as
more than 1 layer encoding is used (for example temporal layers under 1pass CBR).

A recent change has introduced big quality drops for speed 7 and 12
for --rt mode. The change reverted the big drop and improved quality
by 9.5% for speed 7 and 13.4% for speed 12.

This will save a lot of memory for decoder due to removing of prev_mi,
but prev_mi is still needed in encoder. So this will increase a little bit
memory for encoder.

This commit makes the inter prediction buffer system to support
hybrid partition search. It reduces the runtime of speed -5 by
