The vbp thresholds are set seperately for boosted/non-boosted
superblocks according to their segment_id. This way we don't
have to force the boosted blocks to split to 32x32.
Speed 6 RTC set borg test result showed some quality gains.
Overall PSNR: +0.199%; Avg PSNR: +0.245%; SSIM: +0.802%.
No speed change was observed.

To enable us to the scale-invariant motion estimation
code during mode selection, each of the reference
buffers is scaled to match the size of the frame
being encoded.
This fix ensures that a unit scaling factor is used in
this case rather than the one calculated assuming that
the reference frame is not scaled.

This commit separates Hadamard transform/quantization operations
from rate and distortion computation in block_yrd. This allows one
to skip SATD computation when all transform blocks are quantized
to zero. It also uses a new block error function that skips
repeated computation of sum of squared residuals. It reduces the
CPU cycles spent on block error calculation in block_yrd by 40%.

This commit allows the quantizer to compare the AC coefficients to
the quantization step size to determine if further multiplication
operations are needed. It makes the quantization process 20% faster
without coding statistics change.

For large partition blocks(block_size > 32x32), the variance
calculation is modified so that every 8x8 block's variance
is stored during the calculation, which is used in the
following transform skipping test. Also, the variance for
every tx block is calculated. The skipping test checks all tx
blocks in the partition, and sets the skip flag only if all tx
blocks are skippable. If the skip flag of Y plane is 1, a
quick evaluation is done on UV planes. If the current partition
block is skippable in YUV planes, the mode search checks fewer
inter modes and doesn't check intra modes.
The rtc set borg test(at speed 6) showed that:
Overall psnr: -0.527%; Avg psnr: -0.510%; ssim: -0.573%.
Average single-thread speedup on rtc set was 3.5%.
For 720p clips, more speedups were seen.
gipsrecmotion: 13%
gipsrestat: 12%
vidyo: 5 - 9%
dark: 15%
niklas: 6%

This commit allows the encoder to check the eob per transform
block to decide how to compute the SATD rate cost. If the entire
block is quantized to zero, there is no need to add anything; if
only the DC coefficient is non-zero, add its absolute value;
otherwise, sum over the block. This reduces the CPU cycles spent
on vp9_satd_sse2 to one third.

When the estimated rate-distortion cost of skip coding mode is
lower than that of sending quantized coefficients, allow the
encoder to drop these coefficients. This improves the compression
performance of speed -6 by 0.268% and makes the encoding speed
slightly faster.
