The existing test was triggering a lot of false positives on some types
of animated material with very plain backgrounds. These were triggering
code designed to catch key frames in letter box format clips.
This patch tightens up the criteria and imposes a minimum requirement
on the % blocks coded intra in the first pass and the ratio between the
% coded intra and the modified inter % after discounting neutral (flat)
blocks that are coded equally well either way.
On a particular problem animation clip this change eliminated a large
number of false positives including some cases where the old code
selected kf several times in a row. Marginal false negatives are less
damaging typically to compression and in the problem clip there are now
a couple of cases where "visual" scene cuts are ignored because of well
correlated content across the scene cut.
Replaced some magic numbers related to this with #defines and added
explanatory comments.

vestigial. the code is stale and couldn't be configured directly; there
are better ways to achieve this now

PSNR HVS is a human visual system weighted version of SNR that's
gained some popularity from academia and apparently better matches
MOS testing.
This code is borrowed from the Daala Project but uses our FDCT code.

When the tokenization is not taking effect, the tokenization
pointer remains unchanged. No need to re-assign the backup pointer
value.

This patch limits the maximum arf interval length to
approximately half a second. In some low fps animations in
particular the existing code was selecting an overly long interval
which was hurting visual quality. For a sample problem test clip
(360P animation , 15fps, ~200Kbit/s) this change also improved
metrics by >0.5 db.
There may be some clips where this hurts metrics a little, but the
worst case impact visually is likely to be less than having an
interval that is much too long. On more normal material at 24
fps or higher, the impact is likely to be nil/minimal.

Force split on 16x16 block (to 8x8) based on the minmax over the 8x8 sub-blocks.
Also increase variance threshold for 32x32, and add exit condiiton in choose_partition
(with very safe threshold) based on sad used to select reference frame.
Some visual improvement near moving boundaries.
Average gain in psnr/ssim: ~0.6%, some clips go up ~1 or 2%.
Encoding time increase (due to more 8x8 blocks) from ~1-4%, depending on clip.
