984734436d Fix variance (signed integer) overflow
In the variance calculations the difference is summed and later squared.
When the sum exceeds sqrt(2^31) the value is treated as a negative when
it is shifted which gives incorrect results.

To fix this we force the multiplication to be unsigned.

The alternative fix is to shift sum down by 4 before multiplying.
However that will reduce precision.

For 16x16 blocks the maximum sum is 65280 and sqrt(2^31) is 46340 (and
change).

This change is based on:
