In mode selection loop, once mode_index pass mode_skip_start, all
modes with a different reference frame from current best mode are
masked out using mode_skip_mask.
However, the setting of mode_skip_mask may use an invalid mode if
there is no mode tested yet. This commit fixes the issue by making
sure a mode has been tested and selected. Otherwise, no mode will be
masked out because of their reference frame.

This commit estimates the motion vector rate cost right after full
pixel motion search. It combines this and the mode cost and compares
the corresponding rate-distortion cost. If it is already above the
current best one, skip the rest sub-pixel motion search and modeling
process. For pedestrian_area 1080p at 4000 kpbs, the speed -5 runtime
goes down from 39425 ms -> 38399 ms.

Reinstates this macro and truns it on in order to avoid issues
due to some frames at the end starving in harder videos.
A more acceptable solution is in the works.

This commit slightly increases the bit allocation for key frame. This
improves speed -5 coding performance by 2.77% with aq-mode=0 and by
2.78% with aq-mode=3.

For real-time mode under cbr, this increases the gain (5-10%)
for speed 5 (none/little change for 6), on vc-clips.

Turns off the DISABLE_RC_LONG_TERM_MEM macro and makes other changes
in the way the bits are updated, to make 2-pass rate control track
target bitrates closer.

This commit reduces the frequency of frames using finer quantizer
in non-RD coding flow, and slightly tune up the quantizer resolution
when used. It provides 1.7% compression gains in speed -5 at no speed
difference.

The new tolerance is a little higher than before (especially
for kf/gf/arf) so this change gives an encode speed up
for some clips up for speeds 0-2.

This code/setting was actually not used (since speed features were not set on first frame,
until a recent change) and should be removed.
In CBR mode, the q value for the first frame can be controlled by setting
the target size via the parameters rc_buf_initial_sz (and max_intra_size_pct).
