This patch attempts to address a bug reported for 4K video.
https://b.corp.google.com/issues/62215394
In this instance a perfect storm of a moderate complexity section
followed by a much easier section where a CGI overlay helped to
suppress film grain noise, followed by a much harder and very grainy
section at the end, cause a massive local rate spike that pushed a chunk
over the upper allowed rate limit.
This patch detects cases where the rate for a frame is much higher than
expected and allows, in this special case, for rapid adjustment of the active
Q range.
For the example chunk in the bug report the target rate was 18Mb/s and the
observed rate was over 37 Mb/s with a surge for the last few frames to over
100Mb/s. This patch brings the overall chunk rate right back down to ~18.2 Mbit/s
and almost completely eliminates the rate spike at the end. (See graphs appended
to bug report)
Also see I108da7ca42f3bc95c5825dd33c9d84583227dac1 which fixes a bug
unearthed during testing of this patch and also has a bearing on high rate
encodes such as 4K.
This patch does have a negative impact on some metrics. Most notably there are
clips in our standard test set where it hurts global psnr (though in many cases it
conversely helps SSIM, FAST SSIM and PSNR-HVS). It is also worth noting that
the clips (and data rates) where there is a big metric impact, are almost all cases
where there is currently a significant overshoot vs the target rate and overall rate
accuracy is greatly improved.

For nonrd_pickmode: add condition for checking
intra mode if the sb content state is VeryHighSad.
Reduces artifacts when sudden change in content.
Metrics on RTC/RTC_derf neutral (small gain).
No speed loss observed.

Existing logic was only affecting resolutions above 720p.

This could save some cycles since skin detection is used in multiple
places in vp9.
1~2% speed up on ARM.

Use the scene detection for CBR mode, and use it to reset the
rate control if large source sad is detected and rate
correctioni fact/QP is at minimum state.
Avoids large frame sizes after big content change following
low content period.
Only affects CBR mode for 1 pass at speeds 5, 6, 7.

Fix misplaced cast that caused an overflow and incorrect rate adaptation
behavior for high data rates. This in particular will have affected 4k encodes
but could also have come into play for some higher rate 1080p cases.
In our standard test sets the quality impact is small though several high rate
clips show improved rate accuracy. This can also impact the number of recode
loop hits and on one problem 4k clip the encode time for speeds 0 and 1 was
reduced by >25%

Adjust the threshold for turning off cyclic refresh for high motion,

golden refresh was long ago.

Set the base_mv_aggressive for temporal enhancement layers (TL > 0).
Under the aggressive mode, skip the NEWMV depending on the
SSE of the base_mv. Also reduce the subpel motion to 1/2 under
aggressive mode if base_mv is good.
Speedup ~3% with small/negligible loss in quality on RTC.
Affects speed >= 6.

This was ported from the greedy version in AV1, written by Dake He
(dkhe@google.com).
See:
https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/+/master/av1/encoder/encodemb.c#137
Greedy version is disabled by default, but can be picked by setting
USE_GREEDY_OPTIMIZE_B to 1.
To be enabled by default later.
This is both faster and better in terms of compression.
Compression Improvement:
------------------------
lowres: -0.119
midres: -0.064
hdres: -0.405
Speed Improvement:
------------------
(Based on encode time of 3 videos of different difficulties at
3 different target bitrates)
With --cpu-used=0: 0.38% to 5.55% faster
With --cpu-used=1: 0.24% to 2.79% faster
With --cpu-used=2: 0.29% to 1.46% faster

Set subpel prune_evenmore only for non_reference frames,
instead of all TL > 0 frames. Gain some quality back at
cost of small speed loss (~1-2%).
Change only effects SVC encoding at speed >= 7.
