For 1 pass cbr mode: allow for two-stage 1:2 scaling
(which will use the 1:2 optimized scaler) if the spatial
layer is 1/4x1/4 of souce.
Without this change, the base layer for 3 spatial layers would
be using the non-normative scaler which is un-optimized/C code.

An issue exists with reference_masking in non-rd pickmode for spatial
scaling. It was kept off for internal dynamic resizing and svc, this
change is to keep it off also for external dynamic resizing.
Update to external resize test, and update TODO to re-enable this
at frame level when references have same scale as source.

Different quality levels are used for different regions in
the frame depending on how far they are vertically from the
center. Specifically, three segments are used based on the
mi_row index with respect number to the number of mi_rows in
the frame.

This change alters the nature and use of exhaustive motion search.
Firstly any exhaustive search is preceded by a normal step search.
The exhaustive search is only carried out if the distortion resulting
from the step search is above a threshold value.
Secondly the simple +/- 64 exhaustive search is replaced by a
multi stage mesh based search where each stage has a range
and step/interval size. Subsequent stages use the best position from
the previous stage as the center of the search but use a reduced range
and interval size.
For example:
stage 1: Range +/- 64 interval 4
stage 2: Range +/- 32 interval 2
stage 3: Range +/- 15 interval 1
This process, especially when it follows on from a normal step
search, has shown itself to be almost as effective as a full range
exhaustive search with step 1 but greatly lowers the computational
complexity such that it can be used in some cases for speeds 0-2.
This patch also removes a double exhaustive search for sub 8x8 blocks
which also contained a bug (the two searches used different distortion
metrics).
For best quality in my test animation sequence this patch has almost
no impact on quality but improves encode speed by more than 5X.
Restricted use in good quality speeds 0-2 yields significant quality gains
on the animation test of 0.2 - 0.5 db with only a small impact on encode
speed. On most clips though the quality gain and speed impact are small.

Source noise level estimate is also useful for
setting variance encoder parameters (variance thresholds,
qp-delta, mode selection, etc), so allow it to be used also
if denoising is not on.

In the decoder, map this to the output variable vpx_image_t.r_w/h.
This is intended as an improved version of VP9D_GET_DISPLAY_SIZE,
which doesn't work with parallel frame decoding. In the encoder,
map this to a codec control func (VP9E_SET_RENDER_SIZE) that takes
a w/h pair argument in a int[2] (identical to VP9D_GET_DISPLAY_SIZE).
Also add render_size to the encoder_param_get_to_decoder unit test.
See issue 1030.

In decoder, export (eventually) into vpx_image_t.range field. In

The normative (convolve8) filter is optimized/faster than
the nonnormative one. Pass usage of scaler (normative/nonomorative)
to vp9_scale_if_required(), and always use normative one for 1 pass.
Change-Id: I2b71d9ff18b3c7499b058d1325a9554de993dd52
Switch to use the normative (convolve8) filter for source scaling,
only for 1/2x1/2 scaling for now. This is faster and has better
quality than either the vpx_scale_frame or the nonnormative scaler.
Remove the vp9_scale_if_required_fast, which is now not used.

Adds two new vp9 parameters --min-gf-interval and --max-gf-interval
to enable testing based on frequency of alt-ref frames.
Also adds a unit-test to test enforcement of min-gf-interval.
For both these parameters the default value is 0, which indicates
they are picked by the encoder, based on resolution and framerate
considerations. If they are greater than zero, the specified
parameter is honored.
(Additional note by paulwilkins)
Note that there is a slight oddity in that key frames are also GFs and
considered part of GF only group. However they are treated as not
being part of an arf group because for arf groups the previous GF is
assumed to be the terminal or overlay frame for the previous group.

Decision to scale down/up is based on buffer state and average QP
over previous time window. Limit the total amount of down-scaling
to be at most one scale down for now.
Reset certain quantities after resize (buffer level, cyclic refresh,
rate correction factor).

If the frame size increases, the tile data buffer needs to be
re-allocated according to the number of tiles existing in current
frame. This patch makes the multi-tile encoding work in spatial
SVC usage case, and partially solved WebM issue 1018.

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.

The vbp thresholds are set seperately for boosted/non-boosted

Frame buffers are now allocated dynamically on-demand.
Entries in the reference frame map, cm->ref_frame_map,
may now be set to -1 (INVALID_IDX) to indicate that
there is not a valid reference buffer in that "slot".
All slots in the reference frame map are now initialized
to the empty state (-1) and each buffer is initialized
to have a reference count of 0.

Note: This feature is still in development.
Add an option for the encoder to decide the resolution
at which to encode each frame.
Each KF/GF/ARF goup is tested to see if it would be
better encoded at a lower resolution. At present, each
KF/GF/ARF is coded first at full-size and if the coded
size exceeds a threshold (twice target data rate) at
the maximum active Q then the entire group is encoded
at lower resolution.
This feature is enabled in vpxenc by setting:
--resize-allowed=1
In addition, if the vpxenc command line also specifies
valid frame dimensions using:
--resize-width=XXXX & --resize_height=YYYY
then *all* frames will be encoded at this resolution.
