This commit fixes a bug related to skipping intra mode checking, by
using a separate variable to store the best prediction error from
inter mode. It avoids unintentionally overwriting intra mode
rate-distortion cost, and hence affecting other speed features.

Assigning selected reference frame pointer is done in the
encode_superblock function. No need to do this at the end of
rate-distortion optimization search.

This commit refactors the vp9_rd_pick_inter_mode_sb function to
remove the intra mode early termination dependency on the mode
search order.

This commit allows the encoder to find current best prediction mode
state using best_mbmode, instead of fetching from the static mode
search table via best_mode_index.

The speedup in rd_pick_partition() function makes it possible
to drop use_lastframe_partitioning feature. By doing that, we
achieve good PSNR gain with small speed loss. Also, this makes
encoding loop less complicated. The code cleanup patch will
follow.
Borg tests showed:
1. At speed 2,
stdhd set: 0.201% PSNR gain, 0.133% SSIM gain;
derf set: 0.262% PSNR gain, 0.276% SSIM gain.
2. At speed 3,
stdhd set: 0.139% PSNR gain, 0.109% SSIM gain;
derf set: 0.447% PSNR gain, 0.442% SSIM gain.
The average speed loss over selected test clips is within 1%
with the worst case of 4%.

The rate costs calculated for inter modes are not precise in some
cases, which causes NEWMV is chosen instead of NEARESTMV, NEARMV,
and ZEROMV. This patch added checks for these cases, and corrected
the mode decisions.
Borg tests at speed 3 showed:
1. stdhd set: 0.102% PSNR gain and 0.088% SSIM gain.
2. derf set: 0.147% PSNR gain and 0.132% SSIM gain.
No speed change.

This commit turns on adaptive motion search for ARF coding, in
addition to other normal inter frame coding. It improves the
average compression efficiency:
stdhd 0.1%
derf 0.04%
For the test sequences, the speed 3 runtime is reduced:
pedestrian 1080p 2000 kbps, 149932 ms -> 144580 ms, (3.3% speed-up)
bus CIF 1000 kbps, 8050 ms -> 7895 ms, (1.9%)
highway CIF 100 bkps, 45033 ms -> 44078 ms, (2.2%)

This is to keep the same with VP8 denoiser.
If motion magnitude is small,
make denoiser more aggressive.
Change-Id: I942a6e2f2ed9aec6f0c4c1f9e5fa47066cadcc0c
When the first try of denoising turns out to be too much,
we will use a softer filter by adopting an adjustment to
make the result closer to original pixel (as in VP8 denoiser).
The old code made the adjustment in the wrong direction.

This commit allows the encoder to store outcomes of single reference
frame modes and compares them to decide if the inter prediction
filter, forward transform, and quantization can be skipped.
The compression performance of speed 3 is down
derf -0.364%
stdhd -0.198%
For test sequences, the speed 3 runtime is reduced
highway CIF 100 kbps, 51976 ms -> 45033 ms, 13% speed-up
stockholm 720p 1000 kbps, 71826 ms -> 67838 ms, 5.5% speed-up
pedestrian 1080p 2000 kbps, 154924 ms -> 150702 ms, 2.6% speed-up

intra_super_block_yrd() and inter_super_block_yrd() are largely same,
this commit merges them into one to reduce code duplication.

From 3 to 2, which seems to be slightly positive on compression for
all test sets, also reduces encoding time by 2%-5%, varying on the
test clips.

This commit removes the special case for key frame, as transform size
decision is controlled by the appropriate speed feature for all lossy
coding modes: tx_size_search_method.

This commit allows the encoder to skip check on compound inter
modes in the rate-distortion optimization loop, if the reference
frame bias signs are the same.
