This commit allows encoder to compare the SAD cost associated with
the best motion vector predictor, per frame. If one reference frame
has this cost more than 4 times of the best SAD cost given by other
reference frames, skip NEARESTMV, NEARMV, ZEROMV mode check of this
reference frame.
This setting is turned on in speed 2 and above. Compression quality
change in speed 2:
derf -0.014%
yt -0.097%
hd -0.023%
stdhd 0.046%
It reduces the speed 2 runtime of test sequences:
pedestrian_area_1080p 4000 kbps 310763 ms -> 303595 ms
bluesky_1080p 6000 kbps 259852 ms -> 251920 ms

Under a configuration change, where the bitrate suddenly decreases,
the buffer level may be larger than maximum allowed (for that first frame to be encoded after change_config).
This change keeps it clipped to its maximum level.

1. Made speed choices to be progressive
2. Adjusted rt speed settings to achieve better speed/quality
Overall, rt-5 gained 2.5% in compression/quality, encoding time of 720p
niklas clip goes from 137,052ms to 121,874ms

This commit further optimizes SSE2 operations in the second 1-D
inverse 16x16 DCT, with (<10) non-zero coefficients. The average
runtime of this module goes down from 779 cycles -> 725 cycles.

Optimizing all SSSE3 assembly for convolution:
1. vp9_filter_block1d4_h8_sse2
2. vp9_filter_block1d8_h8_sse2
3. vp9_filter_block1d16_h8_sse2
4. vp9_filter_block1d4_v8_sse2
5. vp9_filter_block1d8_v8_sse2
6. vp9_filter_block1d16_v8_sse2
my optimization include:
-processing 2x8 elements in one 128 bit register instead of processing
8 elements in one 128 bit register.
-removing unecessary loads.
This optimization gives between 2.4% user level gain for 480p input
and 1.6% user level gain for 720p.
This Optimization done only for 64bit.

Move the code outside the conditions. The test sources themselves are
also required for Visual Studio.

This commit is the first patch optimizing SSE2 implementation of inverse
16x16 DCT with <10 non-zero coefficients. It focused on the first 1-D (row)
transformation. It exploits the fact that only top-left 4x4 block contains
non-zero coefficients, in a 2-D inverse 16x16 DCT with <10 coeffients.
The average runtime of idct16x16_10 unit is reduced from
883 cycles -> 779 cycles (12% faster).
For pedestrian_area_1080p 300 frames at 4000 kbps, the speed 2 runtime goes
down from 310651 ms -> 305910 ms. The decoding speed goes up from
80.37 fps -> 80.87 fps.

Optimizing the variance functions: vp9_variance16x16, vp9_variance32x32,
vp9_variance64x64, vp9_variance32x16, vp9_variance64x32,
vp9_mse16x16 by migrating to AVX2
some of the functions were optimized by processing 32 elements instead of 16.
some of the functions were optimized by processing 2 loop strides of 16
elements in a single 256 bit register
This optimization gives between 2.4% - 2.7% user level performance gain
and 42% function level gain.

Fix miss alignment of the frames contributing to the
error score and bit allocation for gf/arf groups.

Some cleanups on frames_to_key, frames_since_key.
Also removes the unused fixed_q parameters in vp9.

The previous implementation stops motion vector prediction test when
the zero motion vector appears for the second time. This commit fixes
it by simply skipping the second time check on zero mv and continuing
on to next mv candidate.
It slightly improves stdhd in speed 2 by 0.06% on average. Most static
sequences are not affected. A few hard ones, like jet, ped, and riverbed
were improved by 0.1 - 0.2%.
