Fix misplaced cast that caused an overflow and incorrect rate adaptation
behavior for high data rates. This in particular will have affected 4k encodes
but could also have come into play for some higher rate 1080p cases.
In our standard test sets the quality impact is small though several high rate
clips show improved rate accuracy. This can also impact the number of recode
loop hits and on one problem 4k clip the encode time for speeds 0 and 1 was
reduced by >25%

The modified error was a derivative of the "coded_error"
that was used to allocate bits between different frames on the
assumption that the allocation should be linear in terms of this
modified error. I.e. a frame with double the modified error score
should all things being equal get double the number of bits. The
code also included upper and lower caps derived from input
VBR parameters.
This patch improves the initial calculation of the clip mean error
(now called "mean_mod_score" as it is no longer a prediction error)
used as the midpoint for the rate distribution function and normalizes
the output "modified scores" scores such that 1.0 indicates a frame
in the middle of the distribution. The VBR upper and lower caps are
then applied directly to a frame's normalized score.
This refactoring is intended to make it easier to drop in alternative
distribution functions or to base the rate allocation on a corpus wide
midpoint (rather than the clip mean).

Most existing first pass stats are stored in a form normalized to a
macro-block scale. However the error scores for intra / inter etc were
stored as frame level values but mainly used as MB level values.
This change fixes that. Normalized per MB values make comparisons
between different formats easier and in any case this is usually what is
wanted.
An change in results should be limited to slight differences in rounding.
*** Change after patch 8 +2 requiring new approval.
Final pre-submit testing showed one 4K clip with above expected change.
Investigation showed this was due to a value used to test for ultra low intra
complexity in key frame detection. This was a per frame not per MB value but
also did not scale with frame size. Replacement with a small per MB value
(based on original per frame value and cif frame size) resolved the KF detection
problem.
Also converted kf_group_error_left to a double in line with other error values
to reduce rounding problems in KF group bit allocation
All clips and sets now show nominal (or 0) change as expected.
