This commit fixes a bug in the PICK_MODE_CONTEXT index for
horizontal partition case. The compression performance change
is less than 0.01% level, since most blocks are selected to
use square block size in RTC coding mode.

For key frame under variance source partition: 4x4 prediction blocks
may be selected when variance of 8x8 block is very high (threshold is set fairly high for now).
Testing on some RTC clips shows this helps to reduce some ringing artifacts on key frame.
Encoded key frame size increases about ~10%. Key frame PSNR increases about ~0.1-0.2dB.

This commit explicitly uses the bit shift operation instead of
division for computing block variance.

This commit refactors the choose_partitioning function. It removes
redundant memset calls and makes the encoder to calculate
variance value per block only when it is needed. It reduces the
average runtime cost of choose_partitioning by 60%. Overall it
reduces speed -6 runtime by 2-5%.

Replace error_resilient flag with use_prev_frame_mvs in
vp9_pick_inter_mode reference motion vector search selection.
This effectively turns off the simplified ref mv search in the
settings of frame resizing, even if error-resilient mode is off.

Update the frame motion vector only if previous frame motion vector
is needed for next frame reference motion vector.

This commit enables the use of sub8x8 blocks in RTC key frame
encoding. It requires the block size to be preset and will decide
the coding mode and encode the bit-stream.

Rename set_modeinfo_offsets as set_mode_info_offsets, to be more
consistent with naming convention.

The later encoding process will take the top-left block's
mode_info for pre-determined block size.

The restructure moves the decision into the rd pick
modes loop and makes a decision based at the 16x16
block level instead of only the 64x64 level.
This gives finer granularity and better visual results
on the clips I have tested. Metrics results are worse
than the old AQ2 especially for PSNR and this mode
now falls between AQ0 and AQ1 in terms of visual
impact and metrics results.
Further tuning of this to follow.
It should be noted that if there are multiple iterations
of the recode loop the segment for a MB could change
in each loop if the previous loop causes a change in the
complexity / variance bin of the block. Also where a block
gets a delta Q this will alter the rd multiplier for this block
in subsequent recode iterations and frames where the
segmentation is applied.

The initial reset of this_rdc in vp9_pick_inter_mode is not needed,
since it will be re-assign when used.

These speed-up features for key frame coding are only turned on
in the settings of hybrid non-RD and RD mode decision. It provides
about 20% speed-up to the hybrid key frame coding at the expense
of certain compression performance loss. For vidyo1, the key frame
coding statistics are changed
9838F, 35.020 dB, 61677 us -> 9920F, 34.834 dB, 47556 us
Overall rtc set compression performance is down by -0.257%.

When block size is below 16x16, the encoder swap from non-RD to
RD mode for key frame coding. This largely brough back the key
frame compression performance. For vidyo1 at 1000 kbps, the key
frame coding statistics are changed
9978F, 34.183 dB, 36807 us -> 9838F, 35.020 dB, 61677 us
As compared to the full RD case
7187F, 34.930 dB, 214470 us
The overall rtc set coding performance (single key frame setting)
is improved by 1.5%.
