In the full-rd transform size search, we go through all transform
sizes to choose the one with best rd score. In this patch, an
early termination is added to stop the search once we see that the
smaller size won't give better rd score than the larger size. Also,
the search starts from largest transform size, then goes down to
smallest size.
A speed feature tx_size_search_breakout is added, which is turned off
at speed 0, and on for other speeds. The transform size search is
turned on at speed 1.
Borg test results:
1. At speed 1,
derf set: psnr gain: 0.618%, ssim gain: 0.377%;
stdhd set: psnr gain: 0.594%, ssim gain: 0.162%;
No noticeable speed change.
3. At speed 2,
derf set: psnr loss: 0.157%, ssim loss: 0.175%;
stdhd set: psnr loss: 0.090%, ssim loss: 0.101%;
speed gain: ~4%.

This commit enables the encoder to record the location of the
center frame to generate alter reference frame. It then allows to
skip checking prediction modes of other reference frame types when
it comes to encode this frame.
The speed 3 runtime is reduced for the test sequences:
bus at CIF 1000 kbps, 9791 ms -> 9446 ms, i.e., 3.5% speed-up,
pedestrian at 1080p 2000 kbps, 184043 ms -> 175730 ms, i.e., 4.5%
speed-up.
No compression performance change observed.

This reverts commit 5509b7fd8f
Observed a big drop in compression quality and speed for speed 1 for a 360p test clip, revert this now for investigation.

Add a speed feature to give the tighter partition search
range. Before partition search, calculate the histogram
of the partition sizes of the left, above and previous
co-located blocks of the current block. If the variance of
observed partition sizes is small enough, adjust the search
range around the mean partition size, which will be tigher.
The feature is currently turned on at speed 2. Experiments on
sample youtube clips show on average the runtime is reduced
by 3-7%.
For hard stdhd clips:
park_joy_1080p @ 15000kbps: 509251 ms -> 491953 ms (3.3%)
pedestrian_area_1080p @ 2000kbps: 223941 ms -> 214226 ms (4.3%)
The PSNR performance is changed:
derf: -0.112%
yt: -0.099%

stdhd:-0.102%

At --good and speed 3 or above for resolution less than 720p. This
disables the tests for 64x64 intra prediction modes. Encoding time
reduction is about 1%.

The test to determine if the mode info buffers need
to be resized when the frame size changes was
incorrect, as per bug 837.
By storing the size of the allocated data structure,
a simple test determines whether to allocate more
memory when the frame size changes.

In the encoder, current_video_frame is used in a couple of places to
decide encoding strategy, this commit replaces with more appropriate
variables.

This commit moves the simplified coefficient probability model
and costing update to speed 4, and turns on chessboard pattern
mode search for sub 720p sequences. The overall coding performance
of speed 3 is improved:
derf 0.889%
stdhd 1.744%
The speed 3 runtime for test sequences are improved:
bus cif at 1000 kbps 9823 ms -> 9642 ms
pedestrian 1080p 2000 kbps 189559 ms -> 183284 ms
Change-Id: Iecbc7496a68f31fd49fb09f8dfd97c028d675a5d
This commit enables the encoder to skip NEARMV and ZEROMV if the
above and left blocks have identical reference frame, and the
current reference is different from that. It reduces the runtime
of speed 3 for test sequences:
bus cif at 1000 kbps 10064 ms -> 9823 ms
pedestrian 1080p at 2000 kbps 193078 ms -> 189559 ms
The compression performance is changed by
derf -0.085%
stdhd -0.103%

This commit allows the encoder to check the above and left neighbor
blocks' reference frames and motion vectors. If they are all
consistent, skip checking the NEARMV and ZEROMV modes. This is
enabled in speed 3. The coding performance is improved:
pedestrian area 1080p at 2000 kbps,
from 74773 b/f, 41.101 dB, 198064 ms
to 74795 b/f, 41.099 dB, 193078 ms
park joy 1080p at 15000 kbps,
from 290727 b/f, 30.640 dB, 609113 ms
to 290558 b/f, 30.630 dB, 592815 ms
Overall compression performance of speed 3 is changed
derf -0.171%
stdhd -0.168%

The function is called only once, right after all stats counters are
reset to 0. Therefore all the computations have zero effect on return
values. This commmit to removed those effectless code.
