When calculating delta in VP8 denoiser, since the block size is fixed to 16x16,
the divisor is 256, which is the number of the pixel.
But in VP9, the block size varies, the divisor should correspond to the block
size.

This commit enables the encoder to skip checking ALTREF inter modes
in ARF coding, if the predicted motion vectors suggest that the
GOLDEN_FRAME provides higher prediction accuracy than ALTREF_FRAME.
It improves the speed 3 encoding speed by about 5%, at the expense
of compression performance loss -0.041% and -0.225% for derf and
stdhd, respectively.

The first comment is obselete given the way is now normative in VP9
bitstream. The second comment line was too long.

As reported in issue #850, the condition for border extension was not
complete. This commit added the case when the scaling is enabled.
This fixes issue #850.

The rd_thresholds are adaptively changed based on best mode tested.
It was only changed for the same block size, this commit makes the
adaptation for similar block sizes too. The commit also made minor
adjustment and code cleanups.
The impact on encoding time for _ped:
118089 ms -> 111927 ms
The impact on compression:
derf: -0.339%
stdhd: -0.303%

Adds code to return an integer cost list for NSTEP search. Then
uses it for pruned subpel search in speed 3.
derf: -0.06%
Speed on mobcal 720p increaes from 10.28 fps to 10.65 fps.
[Subject to further testing].

mi_grid_* are arrays of pointer to pointer. They save the pointers that point
to the MIs in cm->mi. But they are unnecessary and complicated. The original
goal was to remove MODE_INFO_t copy. But with an extra MODE_INFO_t pointer
inside MODE_INFO_t, same goal could be achieved.
This commit totally removes the mi_grid_* structures. But there are still
many dummy MODE_INFO_t inside cm->mi which are a waste of memory. Next commit
will do on-demand MODE_INFO_t allocation in order to save these memories.

vpx_svc_parameters_t contains id, resolution and min/max qp for each spatial layer.
In this change we will use extra config to send min/max qp and scaling factors, then calculate layer resolution inside encoder.

Substantial restructuring of the way we estimate
the rate of decay in prediction quality and determine
the arf interval and amount of boost used.
Also other changes to support moving to a lower first pass
Q which exposes some new features and allows us to better
distinguish genuinely static blocks from low motion or noisy
blocks.
Net gains now visible on all the test sets with std-hd PSNR up
1.87%. There are still some bad outlier cases but most of these
are low motion or slide show type content where the metrics
are already high at any given rate. The best + case is up by
more than 10%.
