This commit takes out the if statements on using adaptive motion
search flag. This feature is automatically enabled in non-RD mode
decision flow for variable partition types search.

This commit enables a recursive partition type search for non-RD
mode decisions. It allows the encoder to choose variable block
sizes in a 64x64 block based on rate-distortion modeling.
It improves speed -6 coding efficiency for rtc set by 2.4%. Most
of the gains come from 32-40dB range, where many sequences gain
about 5% to 20%. Local tests suggest there is no speed change.

This commit reformats non-RD coding flow layout to allow mode
decision with fixed and variable block sizes.

The flag x->skip_recode interacts badly with
the cpi->sf.use_nonrd_pick_mode and
cpi->sf.skip_encode_sb speed settings.
Restricting the use of the skip_decode flag when
these other speed choices are in use helps quality
for speeds 3 and 4 by a large amount with only a
small impact on speed.
Average improvmentes for 2 pass speed 4:
Derf +8.8%
Yt + 10.53%
Std-Hd +6.95%
yt-hd + 22.95%

This is an initial attempt to allow variable block size partition
in non-RD coding flow. It tests 8x8, 16x16 and 32x32 block size per
64x64 block, all using non-RD mode decision and the associated rate
distortion costs from modeling, then selects the best block size to
encode the entire 64x64 block. Such operations are triggered every
other 3 frames. The blocks of intermediate frames will reuse the
collocated block's partition type.
It improves the compression performance by 13.2%. Note that the gains
are not evenly distributed. For many hard clips, the compression
performance is improved by 20% to 28%. Local speed test shows that
it will also increase runtime by 50%, as compared to speed -7. It is
now enabled in speed -6 setting.

The use of uninitialized skip flag will trigger inconsistency in
coding statistics, when alternate RD and non-RD coding modes are
enabled. This commit fixes this issue and removes unnecessary if
statements from update_state_rt.

The block coding skip flags are assigned in the normal RD mode
decision loop. They are then used in the final encoding stage.
In the non-RD mode decision, the forward transform and quantization
stages are replaced by modeling based on SSE and variance of
prediction residues. This commit applies reset to this array in
the non-RD coding mode.

This commit moves the position where rdmult is saved to make sure it
is the correct value. Prior, an uninitialized value may be saved and
restored.

This commit unifies the non-RD partition use cases for both fixed
and variable block sizes. Deprecate and remove the separate function
for fixed partition type only.

Brings back most of Jim's previous patch for choosing
partitioning based on variance while making it compatible
with the current state of the code. Also adds a
nonrd_use_partition() function to recursively encode for any
arbitrary sb_type decisions within a 64x64 block; and
includes some refactoring.
Currently, when the VAR_BASED_PARTITIONING mode is turned on
for speed 7, there is a 10+% speed-up observed.
Experiments/improvements with this new partitioning method
will be conducted subsequently.

Clean-ups include
a. redundant code in rt -5 speed feature settings
b. code that guarantees square block availability in
rd_auto_partition_range()
