Usage of encode_b_args is unnecessary because encode_block_pass1() doesn't
use them. That's why optimize_init_b() call is also not required.

Flipping arf on and off too often is hurting some clips.
This change makes no difference for 50-75% of our test
clips but helps some by a big margin. (eg. std-hd crew
by 6% and one of the YT and YT-hd clips by 14%)
Average improvements for 2 pass, speed 2 (psnr,ssim)
are as follows:-
derf 0.165%, 0.210%
yt 1.210%, 1.464%
yt-hd 1.189%, 1.471%
std-hd 1.031%, 0.886%

Removes certain cases of feedback of active_worst_quality,
and removes it from the RATE_CONTROL structure. Now active
worst quality is expected to be computed locally in the
q picking function during the encode.
Making temporal filter strength depend on avg_frame_qindex
rather than on active_worst_quality actually improves
performance esp. for yt.
derf: +0.038%
yt: +0.359%

In real time encoding, we enable encode_breakout to make encoding
fast. A speed feature "use_encode_breakout" is defined to set
encode_breakout thresholds for different speeds.
However, currently, static_thresh is an encoder option. The encode_
breakout can be turned off if user sets static_thresh=0 specifically.
The rtc set borg test result: (need to set --static_thresh=1)
speed -5, psnr loss -3.543%;
speed -4, psnr loss -2.358%;
speed -3, psnr loss -0.771%.
Encoding speed test:
speed -5, 11% - 60% speedup;
speed -4, 5.5% - 28% speedup;
speed -3, 0.8% - 7% speedup.

Some parameter changes and fixes on one-pass rate control.
derfraw300 is now only 10% below 2-pass speed 0 rate control.

Inlcudes a number cleanups:
1. Moves the one-pass pre-encode parameter setting functions
to vp9_ratectrl.c
2. Deprecates per_frame_bandwidth in RATE_CONTROL structure
3. Removes target_bandwidth in cpi structure since it is not used.
4. Various renaming of functions
There is no bit-stream change in 2-pass, one-pass cbr and one-pass
vbr modes.

Fixes rate control partially in one-pass non-cbr case to achieve a
bitrate close to the one desired. Previous version was way off at
the high bitrate end.
Also includes several one-pass rate control cleanups and refactoring.
On derfraw300, one-pass encoding is now 19% off from two-pass speed
0 encoding, down from 35%.

Added a constant to represent the minimum KF boost
rather than using the magic number 2000 in the code.

Includes a few fixes and clean-ups that adds the ability
to use alt-ref frames in one-pass mode.
Whether alt-refs are actually used or not is controlled by a
macro USE_ALTREF_FOR_ONE_PASS in vp9_firstpass.c.
This first cut seems to improve derf by 15+% in 1-pass mode.
But further experiments with parameters are underway.

The sum of squared mv components can go beyond int range for large
input resolution. This commit changed the type to int64 to avoid
overflow.
