Reinstates this macro and truns it on in order to avoid issues
due to some frames at the end starving in harder videos.
A more acceptable solution is in the works.

Turns off the DISABLE_RC_LONG_TERM_MEM macro and makes other changes
in the way the bits are updated, to make 2-pass rate control track
target bitrates closer.

Use a crude correction factor to correct for
lower compression efficiency at higher encode
speeds when estimating the max Q for the
clip.

1. Save stats for each spatial layer
2. Add frame buffer management for svc first pass rc
3. Set default spatial layer to 1
4. Flush encoder at the end of stream in test app
This only supports spatial svc.

The core motion estimation fucntions all return sad now consistently.
The only exception is vp9_full_pixel_diamond(), however the core diamond
and refining search routines called from vp9_full_pixel_diamond() also
return SAD. If variance of pred error + mv cost is desired it must be
calculated explicitly outside these functions. For very fast encoding,
hopefully this will eliminate some redundant computations.
Also suggests reimplementing FAST_HEX with the vp9_pattern_search
framework. It is not exactly the same as the existing FAST_HEX, but
performance is slightly better and speed is very similar. Enables
removing a lot of duplicate code.

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.
