This commit reworks the ONE_LOOP_REDUCED coefficient probability
model update process. It allows model update for every coefficient
across the spectrum at a coarser resolution, instead of performing
precise update only for certain subset of probability models.
The overall runtime remains nearly same (<1% change) for speed -6.
The compression performance is improved by 7.5% in PSNR for speed
-5 and 4.57% for speed -6, respectively.

Incorporate segment delta-q into estimated bits.
This generally improves the rate control under cyclic refresh (aq=3) mode.

Each tile's tok starting address is calculated before the encoding
process. These addresses are stored so that the same calculation
won't be done again in packing bit stream.

When the golden frame is boosted, the rate correction factor is not
correlated well with other inter frames even in CBR mode. This commit
changes to use GF specific rate_correction_factor when gf_cbr_boost
is greater than 20%.

This commit allows the encoder to increase the mode test kick-off
thresholds if the previous best mode renders all zero quantized
coefficients, thereby saving motion search runs when possible.
The compression performance of speed -5 and -6 is down by -0.446%
and 0.591%, respectively. The runtime of speed -6 is improved by
10% for many test clips.

This patch modified struct VP9_COMP. Created a struct ThreadData
to include data that need to be copied for each thread. In
multiple thread case, one thread processes one tile. all threads
share one copy of VP9_COMP,
(refer to VP9_COMP *cpi in the code)
but each thread has its own copy of ThreadData,
(refer to ThreadData *td in the code).
Therefore, within the scope of encode_tiles(), both cpi and td
need to be passed as function parameters.
In single thread case, the FRAME_COUNTS pointer in ThreadData
points to "counts" in VP9_COMMON.

The intra mode penalty is covered by intra_cost_penalty. This
commit removes the other intra cost threshold, provided that the
constant 50 is negligible in normal rate-distortion cost.

This change is made in preparation for a
subsequent patch which adds acceleration
for the highbitdepth transform functions.
The highbitdepth transform functions attempt
to use 16/32bit sse instructions where possible,
but fallback to using the C implementations if
potential overflow is detected. For this reason
the dct routines are made global so they can be
called from the acceleration functions in the
subsequent patch.

This commit makes a non-RD coding mode decision process for key
frame coding. It can be optionally turned on in speed -6 and above.

This commit allows more aggressive decision to skip forward
transform and quantization for luma component in RTC coding mode.
The chroma components remains going through the normal coding
routine, since they are not included in the non-RD mode search
process.
It reduces the runtime cost by 2% - 10%. In speed -6,

In AQ1 a rate adjustment was applied for blocks coded with a
deltaq. This tends to skew the partition selection and cause
rate overshoot.
For example, consider a 64x64 super block where some but not all
sub blocks are in a low q segment and some are in a high q segment.
The choice of Q when considering large partition and transform sizes
is defined by the lowest sub block segment id (currently this implies the
lowest Q). If some parts of the larger partition are very hard this will
cause a high rate component.
The correct behavior here is for the rd code to discard the large partition
choice and break down to sub blocks where some have low and some
have high Q. However the rate correction factor above mask the high
cost of coding at a larger partition size.

Make the midpoint variance used in AQ mode 1 segmentation
depend on the overall complexity of the frame in two pass.

Add an additional restriction to bit/complexity based
segmentation based on spatial variance.
Only lower Q when both the number of bits spent
in the initial encoding pass and the spatial complexity are
below a threshold. This will prevent the low Q segments
being used just because there is a surfeit of bits.
Small metrics gains especially opsnr.

Similar to mask_filter, the filter_cache in RD_OPT struct can be
moved out, and declared as a local variable since it is only

Correct calculation of number of mbs in two pass code when

The max_partition_size and max_partition_size are set at the

SB level. Moving them to mb struct ensures there is a local
