For speed 5, 1 pass CBR: Don't use the nonrd_pick_partition
on the segment, rather use choose_partitioning followed by
nonrd_select_partition (as is done on base segment).
Little/no quality loss on RTC and RTC_derf (< 0.3%),
speedup of at least 5%.

Temporal denoiser runs in non-rd pickmode, so it is only used
for speed >= 5. Regression exists for speed 5, due to use of
reference_partition (which use non-rd pickmode for partitioning).
Avoid denoising for now at speed 5.

The row mt sync read uses sync_range = 1, and wouldn't work if we want
to use a sync_range that is greater than 1. To make it work, this sync
read code is modified. Pass in col instead of col - 1 to make it
consistent with other row mt code in VP9, and then add 1 in "while"
codition.

For non-rd variance partition, avoid the chrome check

Refactor to split the 1 passs source sad computation into scene
detection (currently used for VBR and screen-content mode), and
superblock based source sad computation (used in non-rd CBR mode).
This allows the source sad computation for CBR mode to be
multi-threaded.
No change in compression.

For each superblock, keep track of how far from current frame

with GF distance), to turnoff GF search in non-rd pickmode.
Only enabled for speed >= 8.

The sum of tx bloxk eobs is needed in the machine learning based partition
early termination. The eobs are first accumulated during tx search, and
then the value associated with the best tx_size is copied to ctx for later
use.
After the sum of eobs are calculated correctly, re-enabled
ml_partition_search_early_termination speed feature.
Re-did the quality/speed test to check the impact of the fix.

The 2 thresholds(i.e. partition_search_breakout_dist_thr and
partition_search_breakout_rate_thr) are used as the partition search
early termination speed feature. This refactoring patch made this
feature to be frame size dependent consistently throughout the code.

From commit:

On non-segment the set_vbp_thresholds() should be called
again to adjust thresholds based on content_state of superblock.
This was the intended behavior from 441393.
Small change in RTC metrics and speed.

new_mt is a very generic name that will get obsolete soon enough.
Since this is exposed as a codec control, renaming it to row_mt to
signify row level paralellism. Also renaming the ETHREAD_BIT_MATCH
codec control to ROW_MT_BIT_EXACT.

Increase the variance partition thresholds for superblocks that
have low sum-diff (from source analysis prior to encoding frame).
Use it for now only for speed >= 7 or for denoising on.
Small change on metrics for rtc set: less than ~0.1 avgPNSR decrease
on RTC set, for both speed 7 and 8.

This patch implements the row-based multi-threading within tiles in
the encoding pass, and substantially speeds up the multi-threaded
encoder in VP9.
Speed tests at speed 1 on STDHD(using 4 tiles) set show that the
average speedups of the encoding pass(second pass in the 2-pass
encoding) is 7% while using 2 threads, 16% while using 4 threads,
85% while using 8 threads, and 116% while using 16 threads.

Feature is currently disabled, until threshold is tuned.

Change-Id: I263a0f261ad9929034392d68f0153dc6376fdb5f
Add a new, more aggresive short circuit: short_circuit_low_temp_var = 3 to skip
golden of any mode when variance is lower than threshold for low res.
This change only affects speed = 8, low resolution.
Metrics for avgPSNR/SSIM on rtc_derf (low resolution) show loss of

This patch modified the motion search counts used in:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/305640/
These 2 counts were originally added as thread data, and used to
make decisions in motion search. The tile encoding order can be
inconsistent while using different number of threads, which can
cause bitstream mismatch. Here moved them to tile data to solve
the issue.
