In the full-rd transform size search, we go through all transform
sizes to choose the one with best rd score. In this patch, an
early termination is added to stop the search once we see that the
smaller size won't give better rd score than the larger size. Also,
the search starts from largest transform size, then goes down to
smallest size.
A speed feature tx_size_search_breakout is added, which is turned off
at speed 0, and on for other speeds. The transform size search is
turned on at speed 1.
Borg test results:
1. At speed 1,
derf set: psnr gain: 0.618%, ssim gain: 0.377%;
stdhd set: psnr gain: 0.594%, ssim gain: 0.162%;
No noticeable speed change.
3. At speed 2,
derf set: psnr loss: 0.157%, ssim loss: 0.175%;
stdhd set: psnr loss: 0.090%, ssim loss: 0.101%;
speed gain: ~4%.

This commit enables the encoder to record the location of the
center frame to generate alter reference frame. It then allows to
skip checking prediction modes of other reference frame types when
it comes to encode this frame.
The speed 3 runtime is reduced for the test sequences:

Add a speed feature to give the tighter partition search
range. Before partition search, calculate the histogram
of the partition sizes of the left, above and previous
co-located blocks of the current block. If the variance of
observed partition sizes is small enough, adjust the search
range around the mean partition size, which will be tigher.
The feature is currently turned on at speed 2. Experiments on
sample youtube clips show on average the runtime is reduced
by 3-7%.

This patch allows the encoder to directly split the block
in partition search, therefore skip searching NONE. It
computes a score which measures whether 16x16 motion vectors
from the first pass in the current block are consistent with
each others. If they are inconsistent and we have enough Q
to encode, split the block directly, and skip searching NONE.
This feature is under flag CONFIG_FP_MB_STATS. In speed 2,
it further gives a speedup of 3-8% on sample yt clips as
compared to the previous version under the same flag. Overall,
the features under the flag will give 7-15% on typical yt
clips at up to 6000kbps data rate. The speedup at very high
data rate is not significant.
For hard stdhd clips:
park_joy_1080p @ 15000kbps: 504541ms -> 506293ms (-0.35%)
pedestrian_area_1080p @ 2000kbps: 326610ms -> 290090ms (+11.2%)

This patch allows the encoder to skip the search for partition
SPLIT, HORZ, VERT after the search for partition NONE is done
in RD optimization. It uses the first pass block-wise statistics
to make the decision. If all 16x16 blocks in the current partition
have zero motions and small residues from the frist pass statistics,
and it has small difference variance, further partition search is
skipped.
For speed 2 setting, experiments on general youtube clips show that

* Fold (reduce_first_step_size + speed > 5) into reduce_first_step_size
replacing uses of reduce_first_step_size that don't add the speed
check with zero.

vp9_rdopt is for making rd optimal mode decisions. vp9_rd is for all
other rd related routines. Anything used outside of making an rd optimal
decision belongs in rd.

Moved the threshold adjustment before reference flag checking,
which could set the threshold to INT_MAX for disabled reference
frame, and cause overflow if the adjustment is done after that.

Renamed updating_running_avg() to filter(). Extended function with the rest of
the filter procedure. Made all of the empirically-determined constants used in
VP8 into functions so they can be tweaked more easily.

As in VP8.
Currently, this parameter is set with the VP8E_SET_NOISE_SENSITIVITY flag.
The flag was not renamed so that we don't break the interface for webrtc. This
should probably be changed at some point in the future.

This commit added a speed feature to control the step_param used in
full pixel motion search. The intention is to reduced the search
steps for high speed real time coding.

Adapt the use of segmentation in AQ mode 2 based on
the ambient kf/arf/gf Q.
Disable segmentation where the rate per SB is very
low and overheads are likely to outweigh the benefits.
This patch reduces the -ve average metrics impact
of AQ mode 2 while allowing stronger 3 segment AQ
in some cases. Average improvement ~0.5-1.0%.

This commit re-designs the quantization process for transform
coefficient blocks of size 4x4 to 16x16. It improves compression
performance for speed 7 by 3.85%. The SSSE3 version for the
new quantization process is included.
The average runtime of the 8x8 block quantization is reduced
from 285 cycles -> 255 cycles, i.e., over 10% faster.

Add a conditional compile flag for this feature. Also add a
switch to enable the encoder to use these statistics in the
second pass. Currently, the switch is turned off.

The current threshold is knid of low, and in many cases NEWMV
mode is checked but not picked as the best mode. This patch
added a speed feature to increase NEWMV threshold, so that
less partition mode checking goes to check NEWMV. This feature
is enabled for speed 6 and 7.
Rtc set borg tests showed:
1. Speed 6, overall psnr: -0.088%, ssim: -1.339%;
Average speedup on rtc set is 11.1%.
2. Speed 7, overall psnr: -0.505%, ssim: -2.320%
Average speedup on rtc set is 12.9%.

Encoder still uses SWITCHABLE as default via DEFAULT_INTERP_FILTER,

When the frame is intra coded only, the encoder takes the RD
coding flow. Hence the function set_mode_info is not practically
in use. This commit removes it and the associated conditional
branches.

For real time speed 7, once encode breakout is on(i.e. encoding
setting --static-thresh=1), a proper encode breakout threshold
is set to speed up the encoder.
Set --static-thresh=1, RTC set borg test showed a slight overall
psnr loss of 0.162%, but ssim gain of 0.287%. The average speedup
on RTC set is 6%, and for some clips, the speedup can be 10+%.

Before encoding a frame, calculate and store each 16x16 block's
variance of source difference between last and current frame.
Find partitioning threshold T for the frame from its variance
histogram, and then use T to make partition decisions.
Comparing with fixed 16x16 partitioning, rtc set test showed an
overall psnr gain of 3.242%, and ssim gain of 3.751%. The best
psnr gain is 8.653%.
The overall encoding speed didn't change much. It got faster for
some clips(for example, 12% speedup for vidyo1), and a little
slower for others.
Also, a minor modification was made in datarate unit test.

Bug introduced in I930dced169c9d53f8044d2754a04332138347409. If
svc.number_temporal_layers == 1 and svc.number_spatial_layers == 1, the system
attempt to do spatial SVC. It no longer does that.

For the primary arf in a group, if multiple arfs
are enabled and we were using arfs in the previous

group to be used as an additional reference.

This commit enables an adaptive transform size selection method
for speed -6. It uses largest transform size when the sse is more
than 4 times of variance, i.e., most energy is compacted in the
DC coefficient. Otherwise, use the default TX_8X8. It improves
the compression efficiency for rtc set of speed -6 by 0.8%, no
speed change observed.

This patch allows the encoder to skip the partition search for the
frame if it is an inter frame and only zero motion vectors have
been detected in the first pass. The partition size is directly
assigned according to the difference variance.
Borg tests show overall little performance changes in term of PSNR
(derf -0.027%, yt 0.152%, hd 0.078%, stdhd 0%). The worst case of
PSNR loss is -0.514% from yt. The best PSNR gain is 4.293% from yt.
The second pass encoding speedup for slideshow clips is 15%-40%.

This commit enables a fast reference motion vector search scheme.
It checks the nearest top and left neighboring blocks to decide the
most probable predicted motion vector. If it finds the two have
the same motion vectors, it then skip finding exterior range for
the second most probable motion vector, and correspondingly skips
the check for NEARMV.
The runtime of speed -5 goes down
pedestrian at 1080p 29377 ms -> 27783 ms
vidyo at 720p 11830 ms -> 10990 ms
i.e., 6%-8% speed-up.
For rtc set, the compression performance
goes down by about -1.3% for both speed -5 and -6.
