Small speed gain for speed 1.
Quality is generally a little up for speed 2.
Speed 3 was similar to speed 4 but now positioned more
evenly between 2 and 4 speed and quality wise.
(opsnr +5.6% ssim +8.25% across all sets)
Speed 4 is a little slower than before but sizable quality gains.
(opsnr +3.7% ssim +6.8% across all sets)
The code has been cleaned up a bit so that for each incremental
speed step changes over the previous speed step are applied.
This makes it easier to see what is changing from one setting to
the next.

Allow tx search for ARF and GF helps quality but a little slower.
Setting subpel_iters_per_step to 1 improves encode speed.
Setting sf->mode_skip_start = 10 improves speed.
Initial local results suggest overall impact on quality is neutral
but encode is up to 15% faster.

Removes a TODO. Changed meaning of some parameters
(target-max-percent refresh and starting index) to be
defined relative to superblock. Also, modify turn-off condition.

This commit enables the non-RD mode decision coding flow to
adaptively apply partition search in non-refresh frame, when the
collocated block in previous frame suggests there might be a motion
activity. It refactors the update_state_rt() function to support
buffer swap of mode_info struct, thereby unifying the encoding
stage across various non-RD coding modes.
It provides 5% compression performance gains in speed -6 for rtc
test set, at about 12% speed slow down.

Fix so that vp9_update_segment_aq() will use the correct (i..e, chosen)
encoding mode (from ctx struct) in update_state.

This commit allows the recursive non-RD partition search to early
terminate sub search tree when the cumulative rate-distortion is
already above the best available.

This commit added a speed feature to make the logic of calculating
skip_recode on a block level more explicit. This also enable the
feature to be enabled at speed 5 where the previous logic is too
conservative, help gain back the lost speed for --rt(-5).
