vp9_compute_qdelta_by_rate has almost 2% overhead in profiling on Nexus 6.
Reduce the calling of that function in speed 8 by estimating the delta-q.
Both rtc and rtc_derf show little/no change in avg psnr/ssim.
Encoding speed is 2~3% faster on Nexus 6.

This small change replaces the frame boost check in the arf group
length break out clause with a test against a prediction decay value.
The boost value is in fact partly dependent on the decay value but
this change means that the per frame boost calculation can be adjusted
without influencing the group length calculation.
The value chosen gives a close match on all the test sets with the previous
code (on average) but it was noted that a lower threshold was slightly better
for 1080P and up and a slightly higher value for small image sizes.

The function scale_sse_threshold() returns a threshold scaled
if necessary for use with 10 and 12 bit from an 8 bit baseline.
SSE error values would be expected to rise for the 10 and 12
bit cases where there are more bits of precision.
Hence the threshold used for the test should also be scaled up.

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.

While the new-mt mode is enabled(namely, allowing to use row-based
multi-threading in encoder), several speed features that adaptively
adjust encoding parameters during encoding would cause mismatch
between single-thread encoded bitstream and multi-thread encoded
bitstream. This patch provides a set_control API to disable these
features, so that the bit match bitstream is obtained in the unit
test.

VBR method that allows a wider Q range for the first normal frame
in each ARF group and then centers the min - max range for the rest of
the arf group on the chosen Q value for that first frame.
This allows for quite rapid adjustment of the active Q range even if the
initial estimate is poor.
In some cases where the ARF frames themselves are tending to
undershoot but the normal frames are overshooting this can still give
net undershoot. This can be corrected by allowing a larger Q delta for
arf frames but is usually is a sign that the allocation to the arfs was to
high.

Temporary fix until optimization work for block_yrd is completed.
This essentially reverts back to the state before the change:

Compression loss is about ~5-6% on RTC set.
Speed-up (from using this simple/model-based block_yrd) over the low
bitdepth builds (which uses more complex block_yrd) is ~5% on 720p.

This commit resolves the compression performance regression in
real-time encoding setting when high bit-depth mode is enabled.
The current solution temporarily disables the SIMD implementations
of vpx_satd, hadamard8x8, and hadamard16x16 in high bit-depth mode.
The commit makes the coding results bit-wise identical between
regular coding pipeline and high bit-depth at profile 0.
