When auto_golden wasn't set it forced all frames to be a golden
frame. Now the manual configured frequency is adhered to.

The inter_minq table controls the range of quantizers available
for a particular frame in two pass relative to a max Q value.
The changes reduces the range somewhat. The effect of this
was a small increase (0.3% average) in psnr for the test set
but it should also help encode speed somewhat for higher
quality modes as it will reduce the number of iterations in the
recode loop.
The change damps the range of quantizers available locally
within a section of a clip and should therefore help keep quality
more uniform. If there is systematic overshoot or undershoot the
range can shift gradually to accommodate. However, there is
some increased risk of overshoot or undershoot against the target
bit rate in VBR mode and this risk will be more pronounced for short
clips.

Add vp8_mv_pred() to better predict starting MV for NEWMV
mode in vp8_rd_pick_inter_mode(). Set different search
ranges according to MV prediction accuracy, which improves
encoder performance without hurting the quality. Also,
as Yaowu suggested, using diamond search result as full
search starting point and therefore adjusting(reducing)
full search range helps the performance.

On a keyframe alt ref and golden are refreshed. The flag was
not being set and so on the frame after a keyframe, motion
search would occur on the alt ref frame. This is not necessary
because the alt ref frame identical to the last frame in this
scenario.
Handle corner case where a forward alt-ref frame is put
directly after a keyframe.

remove warning comment in vpxenc.c: in case of 1x1 picture,
detect_bytes will be equal to '3' and we'll fall back to
RAW_TYPE.
fix read_frame() by tracking the pre-read buffer length
in the struct detect

The baseline bits per MB prediction tables have been
re calibrated based on the assumption that bits per mb
is inversely proportional to the quantizer level.

In the process of developing new intra prediction modes, tests have
shown removal of the low pass filtering from B_HE_PRED and B_VE_PRED
has an overall minor positive impact in both PSNR and SSIM metric.
Overall difference is about 0.1%. The change shall also have a small
positive impact on speed. Intuitively, this change should also reduce
some of the tendency of "flattening"

Changing the MAX_PSNR to 100 to allow testing of further experiments
on extending quantizer range to near lossless. With an effective
quantizer of 1, encoder achieves ~68DB, which is consistent with
fdct/idct round trip error.

Extending the value range of tokens allows further experiments on
extending quantizer range. Encoder and decoder were verified to
produce matching reconstructed buffers by tests with forced
quantized value of 1.

Replaced existing code to decide if a frame recode is required
with a function call. This is to simplify addition of extra clauses
that may be needed for the planned constrained quality mode.
Also fixed a bug where by alt ref not considered in the test.

This function was never called in a context expecting a return value,
the return value was always a constant, and the !CONFIG_MULTITHREAD
path didn't have a return statement, which caused a compiler warning.
This patch changes the function to return void instead.
Fixes issue #231
