This commit makes operations of the superblock intra coding rate
distortion optimization consistent with those used in the encoding
process. Given the test prediction mode and transform size, the rd
optimizer encodes and reconstructs each transformed block of the
superblock consecutively, then computes the total rate-distortion
costs accosicated with the current superblock to select the coding
decisions.
It achieves coding performance gains:
derf 0.353%
yt 1.111%

Enable iterative motion search for compound inter-inter prediction
of block sizes 4x4/4x8/8x4 only when best coding quality is selected.
The iterative motion search provides about 0.1% gains for derf and
stdhd at this point, at the expense of longer runtime.

Restrict get_matching_candidate() to considering
mvs at 8x8 and larger sizes for last frame case.
This is to reduce the HW load of using vectors down
to the 4x4 level from the previous frame.

This speed 1 - uses variance threshold stolen from static-thresh
to determine split. Any superblock with greater than the variance
set by static thresh * quantizer index squared is split. In addition
transform size is set to largest size less than or equal to partition
size, sub pixel filter is set to normal, and only 12 modes are used
at all.

We leave it in rdopt.c as a local define for now - this can be removed
later. In all other places, we remove it, thereby slightly decreasing
the size of some arrays in the bitstream.

It remains as a local define in rdopt.c so we can distinguish between
split and non-split modes in the RD loop, but disappears outside that
scope in the codec.

The commit changed to use a new variant of Walsh-Hadamard Transform
by Tim Terriberry. This new variant has the best compression among a
number of variants that developed by Tim.

Fixes an issue with reducing branch cts in the encoder causing
a drop in performance. The bug was introduced in a previous
clean up patch.
Test: Went back to the offending patch, applied this same fix
to it, and checked that results are identical to the parent
of that patch.
