This commit enables a background detection approach for adaptive
quantizer control. It combines the cyclic refresh pattern and the
background information to determine the segment id for adaptive
quantizer selection, prior to the non-RD mode decision process.
It hence allows proper quantization information update for a more
precise rate-distortion modeling in the non-RD mode decision.
The compression performance of speed -5 for rtc set is improved
by 2.5%, at no speed change.

1. We didn't scale source image in lower layers so that
the stats are incorrect.
2. We didn't extend borders for re-constructed image.

To make direct side by side testing this patch combines two
VBR corrections schemes to allow more direct side by side testing.

The background detection only tracks luma component. This commits
removes the frame buffer pointer retrieval for chroma components.

This patch sets up a quad_tree structure (pc_tree) for holding all of
pick_mode_context data we use at any square block size during encoding
or picking modes. That includes contexts for 2 horizontal and 2 vertical
splits, one none, and pointers to 4 sub pc_tree nodes corresponding
to split. It also includes a pointer to the current chosen partitioning.
This replaces code that held an index for every level in the pick
modes array including: sb_index, mb_index,
b_index, ab_index.
These were used as stateful indexes that pointed to the current pick mode
contexts you had at each level stored in the following arrays
array ab4x4_context[][][],
sb8x4_context[][][], sb4x8_context[][][], sb8x8_context[][][],
sb8x16_context[][][], sb16x8_context[][][], mb_context[][], sb32x16[][],
sb16x32[], sb32_context[], sb32x64_context[], sb64x32_context[],
sb64_context
and the partitioning that had been stored in the following:
b_partitioning, mb_partitioning, sb_partitioning, and sb64_partitioning.
Prior to this patch before doing an encode you had to set the appropriate
index for your block size ( switch statement), update it ( up to 3
lookups for the index array value) and then make your call into a recursive
function at which point you'd have to call get_context which then
had to do a switch statement based on the blocksize, and then up to 3
lookups based upon the block size to find the context to use.
With the new code the context for the block size is passed around directly
avoiding the extraneous switch statements and multi dimensional array
look ups that were listed above. At any level in the search all of the
contexts are local to the pc_tree you are working on (in?).
In addition in most places code that used to call sub functions and
then check if the block size was 4x4 and index was > 0 and return
now don't preferring instead to call the right none function on the inside.

There is no need to initialize source/dst frame buffers at frame
level. These will be done at block coding stage. This commit hence
removes the redundant operations.

Add code to monitor over and under spend and
apply limited correction to the data rate of subsequent
frames. To prevent the problem of starvation or overspend
on individual frames (especially near the end of a clip) the
maximum adjustment on a single frame is limited to a %
of its un-modified allocation.

This commit compares the current original frame to the previous
original frame at 64x64 block level and decides if the entire
block belongs to background area. If it is in the background area,
skip non-RD partition search and copy the partition types of the
collocated block in the previous frame.
For vidyo1 in the rtc set, this makes the speed -5 coding speed
about 8% faster. The overall compression performance is down by
1.37% for rtc set.

Fix rate control bug whereby the rate factor heuristics
were being updated on arf overlays causing a rate surge
for a few frames followed by a corrective drop.
This fix eliminates many of the overshoot problems that
we were seeing on hard clips (even without applying
stricter vbr rate control) and also helps quality on
almost all clips with some hard clips improving by >5%.
Overall quality results measured at speed 2.
Derf +1.78% opsnr , +2.44% SSIM
Stdhd +2.41% opsnr, +2.85% SSIM

Added command line flags "resize-width" & "resize-height"
to allow the user to specify the frame size to encode at.
These two flags are ignored if the "resize-allowed" switch
is not set to 1.
All frames in the clip are then encoded at this size, which
must be smaller than the raw frame size.

A previous path improved speed 2 quality a little but
more extensive testing showed that it slowed encode
by a few %.
The change will have a similar effect for speed 3 but
should not impact speeds 4+;
This experiment should reverse that and give a speed
up at the cost of a small quality loss.
Borg results pending.
