This commit changes the partition search order of superblocks from
{SPLIT, NONE, HORZ, VERT} to {NONE, SPLIT, HORZ, VERT} for
consistency with that of sub8x8 partition search. It enable the use
of early termination in partition search for all block sizes.
For ped_area_1080p 50 frames coded at 4000 kbps, it makes the runtime
goes down from 844305ms -> 818003ms (3% speed-up) at speed 0.
This will further move towards making the in-search partition types
configurable, hence unifying various speed-up approaches.
Some speed 1 and 2 features are turned off during the refactoring
process, including:
disable_split_var_thresh
using_small_partition_info
Stricter constraints are applied to use_square_partition_only for
right/bottom boundary blocks. Will bring back/refine these features
subsequently. At this point, it makes derf set at speed 1 about
0.45% higher in compression performance, and 9% down in run-time.

Adds a couple of minor fixes, which may be absorbed in Jingning's

Also adjusts the thresholds for speed 1 and 2 to 16 and 32
respectively, to keep quality drops small.

threshold = 32, psnr -0.218%, speedup 5-6%
stdhdraw250: threshold = 16, psnr -0.031%, speedup 2-3%

Currently, the best quality mode in VP9 is not very well developed,
and unnecessarily makes the encode too slow. Hence the command line
default is changed to "good" quality. Also, the number of passes
default is changed to 2 passes as well, since 1-pass encoding is
not very efficient in VP9.
Besides, a number of VP9 defaults are set to the currently
recommended settings. With these changes, vpxenc
run with --codec=vp9 --kf-max-dist=9999 --cpu-used=0 should
work about the same as our borg results.
Note when the --cpu-used=0 option is dropped there will be a slight
difference in the output, because of a difference in the cpu-used
value for the first pass. Specifically, the default when unspecified
is to use cpu_used=1 for the first pass and cpu_used=0 for the
second pass. But when specified, both passes will use the cpu-used
value specified.
Note that this also changes the default for VP8 as being "good"
but other options stay unchanged.

Cleans up the switchable filter search logic. Also adds a
speed feature - a variance threshold - to disable filter search
if source variance is lower than this value.
Results: derfraw300

threshold = 32, psnr -0.381%, 8-9% speedup (tested on football)
threshold = 64, psnr -0.611%, 12-13% speedup (tested on football)
threshold = 96, psnr -0.804%, 16-17% speedup (tested on football)

Adds a speed feature to disable split partition search based on a
given threshold on the source variance. A tighter threshold derived
from the threshold provided is used to also disable horizontal and
vertical partitions.
Results on derfraw300:
threshold = 16, psnr = -0.057%, speedup ~1% (football)
threshold = 32, psnr = -0.150%, speedup ~4-5% (football)
threshold = 64, psnr = -0.570%, speedup ~10-12% (football)
Results on stdhdraw250:
threshold = 32, psnr = -0.18%, speedup is somewhat more than derf
because of a larger number of smoother blocks at higher resolution.
Based on these results, a threshold of 32 is chosen for speed 1,
and a threshold of 64 is chosen for speeds 2 and above.

The macro block mode info context originally contained an

Adds a new subpel motion estimation function that uses a 2-level

It searches fewer points than iterative search (which can search
the same point multiple times) but has the same quality roughly.
This is made the default setting at speeds 0 and 1, while at
speed 2 and above only a 1-level search is used.
Also includes various cleanups for consistency and redundancy removal.

The low precision 32x32 fdct has all the intermediate steps within

Adds a few pattern searches to achieve various tradeoffs
between motion estimation complexity and performance.
The search framework is unified across these searches so that a
common pattern search function is used for all. Besides it will
be easier to experiment with various patterns or combinations
thereof at different scales in the future.
The new pattern search is multi-scale and is capable of using
different patterns at different scales.
The new hex search uses 8 points at the smallest scale
and 6 points at other scales.
Two other pattern searches - big-diamond and square are
also added. Big diamond uses 4 points at the smallest scale and
8 points in diamond shape at the larger scales.
Square is very similar conceptually to the default n-step search
but is somewhat faster since it keeps only one survivor across
all scales.
Psnr/speed-up results on derf300:
hex: -1.6% psnr%, 6-8% speed-up
big-diamond: -0.96% psnr, 4-5% speedup
square: -0.93% psnr, 4-5% speedup
