Switch from bilinear to eighttap_smooth for frame-level
downsampling at low resolutions (<= 320x240).
avgPSNR/SSIM metrics increase from ~0.5-2% (all clips positive gain),
for 2 and 3 spatial layer SVC, with 3 temporal layers.
Small/negligible increase in encoding time (< 1%).

Increase the recursive average factor from 15/16 to 3/4

Small/neglible change on low noise content, but better
denoising for noisy content.
Also encoder speedup of ~2-3% observed on some noisy clips.

INLINE is defined as __forceinline for vs* configs, but is the
normal, compiler-discretion inline for gcc/clang configs. This
makes many functions very large when building for windows targets,
much larger than they are elsewhere.
Use '__inline' as a consistent definition to get consistent function
sizes. Although Visual Studio documentation says that 'inline' is
only available in C+ code. This is probably incorrect, since Visual
Studio 2017 accepts C99 'inline' even when passed /TC. Nevertheless,
this commit uses the recommended '__inline' for consistency.
Thanks to David Major for the diagnosis.

Modify and update the SVC datarate unittests to verify the
rate targeting for each spatial-temporal layer.
The current tests were only verifying the rate targeting
of the full SVC stream, not individual layers.
Also re-enabled a test that was disabled.
This is a stronger verification of the layered rate control
for SVC for 1 pass CBR encoding.
Added PostEncodeFrameHook, needed to get the layer_id and
update the layer buffer level.

For a large change in the target avg_frame_bandwidth,
via the update in change_config()), reset the buffer_level
to optimal_level.
This fix prevents possible frame drops, where for example,
encoder suddenly goes from lower to higher bitrate.

With recent fixes to rate control for SVC the
buffer underrun in the tests does not happen,
so comment and TODO can be removed.
Also, in some of these SVC tests, replace the HD clip
with the corresponding VGA clip, which has > 400 frames.
For the (niklas) HD clip: it has only 60 frames but the
test was running up to 300 frames. Fixed it to 60 frames.
Keep some tests with the HD clip, needed for the 4 thread
and 5 level scaling test.

For large dynamic changes in target avg_frame_bandwidth, or
a change in resolution, via the update in change_config()),
reset the under/overshoot flags (rc_1_frame, rc_2_frame)
to prevent constraining the QP for the first few frames
following the change.
For SVC use the spatial stream avg_frame_bandwidth in
reset condition.
For the avg_frame_bandwidth condition, use fairly large
threshold (~50%) for now in reset.
This allows for better/faster QP response if, for example,
application dynamically changes bitrate by large amount.

Immediately following a key frame the trailing second reference
error in the first pass stats will be based on a reference frame from
the prior key frame group and will thus usually be much larger.
This fix eliminates that effect (which typically triggers a short arf
group immediately after a key frame). It also changes the accounting
for the first frame in each new arf group.
This change gives large gains on a couple of clips that contain mid
sequence key frames (e.g. 6% on 1080P tennis). Overall there was
a net gain in PSNR and PSNR-HVS ~(0.05- 0.4%) and mixed results for
SSIM (+/- 0.2%).

Downsampling filter for SVC was set to subsample (phase 0)
for HD -> VGA, and bilinear averaging (phase 8) for VGA -> QVGA.
This change makes it bilinear averaging for HD -> VGA.
Given the recent commit 9f9d4f8, quality is improved with
this change: avgPSNR/SSIM up ~1-3% on HD clips in RTC set.
Speed decrease of ~1% for 3 layer SVC.

Move the early exit checks on usable_ref_frame and
skip_ref_find_pref up before the check on flag_svc_subpel.
The code under flag_svc_subpel requires frame_mv to be set
for the golden/spatial reference, which is only set if the
both those exits don't pass.
No change in behavior.

For nonrd pickmode on a given spatial layer, the spatial
(golden) reference was always only using zeromv for prediction.
In this patch if the downsampling filter used for generating
the lower spatial layer is an averaging filter (nonzero phase),
we allow for subpel motion on the spatial (golden) reference to
compensate for the shift. This is done by forcing the testing of
nonzero motion mode to compensate for spatial downsampling shift.
Improvement for cases where the downsampling is averaging filter.
In the current code this is only done for generating
resolutions <= QVGA.
Improvement for avgPSNR/SSIM on RTC set for speed 7: ~1.2%.
Gain is larger (~2-3%) for VGA clips with 2 spatial layers.
~1% speed slowdown for 3 layer SVC on mac.
