The initial allocation of bits in the two pass code to each frame
should be within the min max limits on the command line. However,
when forming an ARF group the cost of the ARF is shared by frames
in that group such that the residual bits for a frame could drop below
the min value. This change prevents the minimum being re-applied
after the cost of the ARF has been deducted as this may otherwise
cause low rate sections to overshoot their target.
Test runs comparing to a baseline run with min and max section pct
0-2000% vs one closer to the YT use case (50-150%) suggest that
this fix not only results in better rate control but also gives a better
rd outcome.
For example the HD set vs 0-2000% baseline (opsnr, ssim).
Old code (50-150): +0.751, +1.099
New code(50-150): +0.241, -0.009

Change to the bit allocation within a GF/ARF group.
Normal VBR and CQ mode allocate bits to a GF/ARF group based of the mean
complexity score of the frames in that group but then share bits evenly between
the "normal" frames in that group regardless of the individual frame complexity
scores (with the exception of the middle and last frames).
This patch alters the behavior for the experimental "Corpus VBR" mode such that
the allocation is always based on the individual complexity scores.

This patch makes further changes to support an experimental
corpus wide VBR mode that uses a corpus complexity
number as the midpoint of the distribution used to allocate bits
within a clip, rather than some average error score derived from the
clip itself.
At the moment the midpoint number is hard wired for testing and
the mode is enabled or disabled through a #ifdef. Ultimately this
would need to be controlled by command line parameters.

This reverts commit 9311ef18b4.
Reason for revert:

Will revisit in another change.

For 1 pass vbr: increase min_thresh slightly, and also add
condition on golden/arf update for using full nonrd_pick_partition.
Reduces possible false detection for scene cut detection.
Neutral/small change in metrics or speed for speed 5.

Small/neutral change in metrics or speed for ytlive.
Some improvement in quality on frames with big content change.
Change-Id: Ib3b0703a5f28ea6710e90324436e27598ab7384d
Lower SAD threshold to select non_rd pickmode partition
at superblock level more often.
Small gain in metrics, small/negligible decrease in speed.
Change-Id: I0f728236b91a604e4ca7e02039adc54d5985c4dc
For 1 pass vbr speed >= 6: when REFERENCE_PARTITION is selected,
avoid doing the full nonrd_pickmode based partition.
No change in overall metrics or speed.
Reduces encode times on scene cuts by 10-20%.
Change-Id: I0310b1610cc1c83793a509e0a9059840e8f18308
For 1 pass vbr mode:
On no-show_frame/ARF: instead of skipping alt_ref_frame
completely in mode testing, allow for checking (0, 0) on alt_ref.
Small gain in metrics, ~0.18%, no change in speed.
Change-Id: I32a3c24faca64ab70dd5091071a0dc301db7dd1e
For 1 pass vbr: when significant content/scene change is detected
(high_source_sad = 1) reduce/turnoff the additional qdelta on the
active_worst_quality. This helps somewhat to reduce the occurrence
of large frame sizes and large encode times.
Allow it only when use_altef_onepass is enabled.
Neutral/no change on metrics.

For speed 6 real-time mode: use adapt_partition
on ARF frame instead of REFERENCE_PARTITION (which is slower).
This requires enabling compute_source_sad_onepass for no-show_frames.
Speedup of ~3-5% on some clips that heavily use ARF,
small loss (~0.2%) in quality on ytlive set.

Scale 3x3 block instead of 16x16 block in each loop. Disabled by
default.
Benefits:
1. Reduced number of different phase_scaler from 16 to 3.
Optimization code will be smaller and faster.
2. Maximum phase_scaler drifting will be reduced from 5/16 to 1/24.
(The drifting is 1/(3*16) in each step.)

For real-time mode. Move the switch to fixed partition
for is_src_frame_alt_ref so all speeds may use it
if use_altref_onepass is set.
Improves metrics by ~2% for ytlive set at speed 4
(where use_altref_onepass is currently used).
Change-Id: I033240386598c9dbd0364da89ccbcca64bc663ee
Only has effect when sf->use_altref_onepass is enabled,
as in that case scene detection is skipped for non-show frame
and so high_source_sad does not get reset to 0.
No change in metrics or speed.

Add stats for past ARF usage, and use it to disable

Overall improvement on ytlive set, reduces the regression
on the problem clips for this feature.
Only affects when sf->use_altref_onepass is enabled
(currently off by default).

Scene detection is used for VBR mode and for screen_content mode.
It was also enabled for CBR mode via the speed condition,
but currently the analysis in the scene detection is not used
in CRB mode (similar computations are done locally at superblock level
when the source_sad feature is enabled).
For 1 pass code.
No change in behavior. Small speed gain, ~0.5%.

* changes:
Remove the unnecessary cast of (int16_t)cospi_{1...31}_64
Remove the unnecessary upcasts of (int)cospi_{1...31}_64
Change cospi_{1...31}_64 from tran_high_t to tran_coef_t
Add the condition frames_since_golden > 0 to the
early exit check for ARF usage in nonrd_pickmode.
This improves quality of first frame following ARF, where
frame_since_golden = 0.
Small/neutral gain in metrics for speed 6, neutral change in speed.
Only affects when USE_ALTREF_FOR_ONE_PASS is enabled.

Modify simple_block_yrd condition in nonrd_pickmode for SVC:

spatial_layer > 1 and block size < 32x32.
Speed up of about ~2% for 3 layer SVC, with little/negligible

Force fixed partition to 64x64 when is_src_alt_ref_frame is true,

In the new AUTO mode, restrict the minimum alt-ref interval and max column
tiles adaptively based on picture size, while not applying any rate control
constraints.
This mode aims to produce encodings that fit into levels corresponding to
the source picture size, with minimum compression quality lost. However, the
bitstream is not guaranteed to be level compatible, e.g., the average bitrate
may exceed level limit.
