In rare cases, the interaction between rate correction factor and Q
choices may cause severe oscillating frame sizes that are way off
target bandwidth. This commit adds tracking of rate control results
for last two frames, and use the information to prevent oscillating
Q choices.

Current setting had active_worst_quality set too high (close to worst_quality)
for first frame(s) following first key frame. This changes that to be somewhat
more aggressive in allowing active_worst_quality to be lower following key frame.
Also remove the 4/5 reduction in active_worst for key frame as
this should be set by the user qp_max setting.

This commit adds a check condition to the prediction buffering
operation used in the rtc coding mode. This resolves a unit test

Several frame counters in encoder are updated at SB level. Combine
those counters and put them in a separate struct, which allows us
to allocate one copy for each thread.

Modified VP9_COMP struct to include MACROBLOCK *mb. This change

Two members in struct CYCLIC_REFRESH
int64_t projected_rate_sb;
int64_t projected_dist_sb;
are updated at the superblock level, which makes them shared data
in the multi-thread situation, and requires extra work to handle
them. However, those values are updated and used immediately, and
therefore can be removed. This patch cleaned up the code and
removed the two members.

Prepare for the introduction of frame-size change
logic into the recode loop.
Separated the speed dependent features into
separate static and dynamic parts, the latter being
those features that are dependent on the frame size.

Rate correction factor is used to correct the estimated rate for any
given quantizer, and feeds into rate control for quantizer selection.
We make use of the actual bits used to calculate this rate correction
factor with an adjustment limit to prevent over-adjustment.
This commit adapts the adjustment limit to the difference between the
estimated bits and the actual bits, allows the adjustment limit to vary
between 0.125 (when estimate is close to actual) and 0.625 (when there
is >10X factor off between estimated and actual bits). By doing this,
the commit appears to have largely corrected two observed issues:
1. Adjustment is too slow when the actual bits used is way off from
estimate due to the small adjustment limit.
2. Extreme oscillating quantizer choices due to the feedback loop.

This commit makes the speed -6 and above use the reconstructed
boundary pixels for precise intra prediction. This allows more
intra prediction modes to be tested in the non-RD coding process.
Enabling horizontal and vertical intra prediction modes can
improve the speed -6 compression performance for rtc set
by 0.331%.

I0c5f010 changed to allow update golden reference buffer in CBR mode,
this commit changes the use of rate_correction_factor for those frames
to be aligned with the new usage. This commit attempts to solve two
issues:
a. Initialization of rate correction factor for Golden Frame
Prior to this patch, even the regular inter frame has been update
the rate correction factor based on content and encoding results,
the first golden frame would still use the ininitialized value
that can be way off.
b. Allowing rate correction factor update to be slightly faster
Prior to this patch, when the rate correction factor is off, the
update to the factor is too slow, the factor could not get close
to a semi-correct value even after many frames.
The commit helps all clips in psnr/ssim metric, but especially to
a few clip in RTC set that rate correction was way off. For example
thaloundeskmtgvga gained about .5dB for both overall/average psnr.

Adds support for one-pass rc-enabled SVC encoder with callbacks for
getting per-layer packets.
- the callback function registration is implemented as an encoder
control function.
- if the callback function is not registered, the old way of
aggregating packets with superframe will take effect.
- one more control function “VP9E_GET_SVC_LAYER_ID” has been
implemented to get the temporal/spatial id from the encoder
within the callback. This can be used to get the ids to put on RTP
packet.

This commit rename a reserved color space entry to BT_2020, it intends
to provide support for VP9 bitstream to pass along the color space
type defined in BT.2020(Rec.2020)
please note this entry does not have any effect on encoding/decoding
behavior, but allow applications to the pass the information along
from encoding end to decoding end.

This patch was to fix the vpxdec fuzzing3 test failure. When an
error occurs, setjmp() is invoked, which calls the decoder
removing routine. In multiple thread situation, other threads
could try to access the frame context memory that is already
deallocated, thus causing a segfault.
An invalid unit test was added for this issue.

The aim of this patch is to apply a positive weighting to
frames that have a significant number of blocks that are
of low spatial complexity and are dark. The rationale behind
this is that artifacts tend to be more visible in such frames.
In this patch the weight is only applied in regard to the distribution
of bits between frames. Hence if all the frames share similar
characteristics (as is the case for most of our short test clips) there
will be little or no net effect.
However, the effect can be seen on some longer form test content.
For example Tears of steel baseline test:
2323.09 Kbit/s opsnr 39.915 ssim 74.729
With this patch:-
2213.34 Kbit/s opsnr 39.963 ssim 74.808
(Sligtly better metrics and about 5% smaller)
The weighting may well need some further tuning along side changes
to the aq modes.

This commit removes the cyclic aq mode dependency on
in_static_area and reworks the corresponding cut-off thresholds.
It improves the compression performance of speed -5 by 1.47% in
PSNR and 2.07% in SSIM, and the compression performance of speed
-6 by 3.10% in PSNR and 5.25% in SSIM. Speed wise, about 1% faster
in both settings at high bit-rates.
