When golden reference frame is refreshed, the next frame has both
its last and golden reference frames point to the same reference
frame in real-time coding mode. Experiments suggest that using
two separate reference frames for frames right after golden refresh
frame does not provide further compression performance advantage.
This commit hence retains the current encoder implementation and
shuts off the mode search over golden reference frame in this case.
It makes the encoder run slightly faster at no coding performance
change.

Visual Studio is exceptionally picky about this:
vp9_reconintra.c(900): warning C4113: 'void (__cdecl *)()' differs in
parameter lists from 'void (__cdecl *)(void)'

This saves an extra 64x64 variance calculation and replaces two
32x32 variance functions with sad functions. The compression
performance change is unnoticeable.

Frame buffers are now allocated dynamically on-demand.
Entries in the reference frame map, cm->ref_frame_map,
may now be set to -1 (INVALID_IDX) to indicate that
there is not a valid reference buffer in that "slot".
All slots in the reference frame map are now initialized
to the empty state (-1) and each buffer is initialized
to have a reference count of 0.

Use rectangular block size for integral projection motion estimation
if the the 64x64 block has over half block outside the frame. This
avoids the issue that the motion information of these blocks is
dominated by the extended pixels, instead of the pixels of interest.

The rounding factor needs to be scaled down by a factor of 2.
Also, the quantized and dequantized coefficients are memset to 0
when dc quantizer is used.

Instead using only a fixed threshold, this commit adapts the threshold
for color sensitivity decision to luma signal energy: chroma channel's
sse is at least 1/6 of that in luma for color sensitivity flag to be
set to active.
This recoups a large portion of the speed loss due to accounting for
chroma component costs in RTC mode decision.

This patch fixed webm issue 962.
(https://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=962)
The data races occurred when an encoder and a decoder were created
at the same time, and the function pointers were initialized twice.

This commit replaces the SAD with variance as metric for the
integral projection vector match. It improves the search accuracy
in the presence of slight light change. The average speed -6
compression performance for rtc set is improved by 1.7%. No speed
changes are observed for the test clips.

This commit fixes an issue in source frame border extension. It
causes certain frame resolution such as 640x480 to have a portion
of the right/bottom extension filled by zeros, which misleads
motion search and degrades transform coding performance when large
block size is used.
This fix improves the speed 2 compression performance of a few
yt sequence, typically ranging from 1% - 2%, up to 5% at median
to low bit-rate.

This commit applies one-step refinement search to the resulting
motion vector of the integral projectiion based motion estimation,
per 64x64 block. It improves the coding performance of speed -6.
