Refactor the frame buffer referencing in choose_partition and make
it consistent with other places. This means to prevent potential
issues when we extend reference frame buffer.

The tokenize_b function is only called when output flag is on. Hence
removing the conditional branch on it therein.

This commit optimizes the tokenization and detokenization operational
flow for speed-up. It makes the coding process about 0.3% faster at
speed 0.

This commit makes the encoder skip the redundant tokenization process
in the rate-distortion optimization search loop, while updating the
entropy contexts accordingly. It makes the speed 0 encoding process
about 0.5% faster at no performance change.

This allows us to increment the position at the band-level only as
we go from one band to the next; more importantly, that allows us to
use an add instead of multiply instruction, and omit the instruction
altogether if the band doesn't change from one coef to the next, thus
being slightly faster (probably more noticeable on systems where a
multiply is expensive, like arm).

This commit brought back the shortcut implementation of 8x8/16x16
inverse 2D-DCT. When the eob <= 10, it skips the inverse transform
operations on row 4:7/4:15 in the first round. For bus_cif at 1000
kbps, this provides about 2% speed-up at speed 0.

This commit enables a special handle for the 8x8 inverse 2D-DCT,
where only DC coefficient is quantized to be non-zero. For bus_cif
at 2000 kbps, it provides about 1% speed-up at speed 0.

Speed feature experiment to set an upper and lower
partition size limit based on what has been seen
in spatial neighbors.
This seems to gives quite reasonable speed gains in local
(10-15%) and when used with speed 0 the losses are small
(0.25% derf, 0.35% stdhd). However, for now I am only
enabling it on speed 1 as there may be clashes with the existing
temporal partition selection in speed 2.
Using a tighter min / max around the range derived from the
neighbors increases speed further but at the cost of a
bigger quality loss. However, I think this spatial method could
be combined with data from either the last frame or a variance
method (or both) to refine the range of minimum and maximum
partition size. I.e. consider the min and max from spatial and
temporal neighbors and the variance recommendation.

Used 3 * standard_deviation in internal threshold calculation
instead of fit curve. This actually approached the algorithm
better.
For comparison, similar tests were done:
The overall psnr loss is less than before.
1. derf set:
when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 0.329%;
when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 0.970%;
2. stdhd set:
when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 0.922%;
when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 1.307%;
Similar speedup is achieved. For example,
clip bitrate static-thresh psnr time
akiyo(cif) 500 0 48.952 5.077s(50f)
akiyo 500 500 48.866 4.169s(50f)
parkjoy(1080p) 4000 0 30.388 78.20s(30f)
parkjoy 4000 500 30.367 70.85s(30f)
sunflower(1080p) 4000 0 44.402 74.55s(30f)
sunflower 4000 500 44.414 68.69s(30f)

This option exists in VP8, and it was rewritten in VP9 to support
skipping on different partition levels. After prediction is done,
we can check if the residuals in the partition block will be all
quantized to 0. If this is true, the skip flag is set, and only
prediction data are needed in reconstruction. Based on DCT's energy
conservation property, the skipping check can be estimated in
spatial domain.
The prediction error is calculated and compared to a threshold.
The threshold is determined by the dequant values, and also
adjusted by partition sizes. To be precise, the DC and AC parts
for Y, U, and V planes are checked to decide skipping or not.
Test showed that
1. derf set:
when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 0.666%;
when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 1.162%;
2. stdhd set:
when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 1.249%;
when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 1.668%;
For different clips, encoding speedup range is between several
percentage and 20+% when static-thresh <= 500. For example,
clip bitrate static-thresh psnr time
akiyo(cif) 500 0 48.923 5.635s(50f)
akiyo 500 500 48.863 4.402s(50f)
parkjoy(1080p) 4000 0 30.380 77.54s(30f)
parkjoy 4000 500 30.384 69.59s(30f)
sunflower(1080p) 4000 0 44.461 85.2s(30f)
sunflower 4000 500 44.418 78.1s(30f)
Higher static-thresh values give larger speedup with larger
quality loss.
