For non-rd pickmode:
best_pred_sad, computed for NEWMV-last, is only used for
skipping golden non-zero modes. Add condition to avoid this
computation if not used (i.e, if golden nonzero modes are not used).
And remove code for computing best_pred_sad for NEWMV-golden,
since that sad is not used.
No change in behavior; small speed gain (~1%) for svc encodes.

Move the logic for rechecking zeromv on denoised block out to simplify
the function. To simplify the param passing, add a new structure
VP9_PICKMODE_CTX_DEN which is only used when denoiser is enabled.

block_variance: This operates on 8x8s and would be safe with a int32 *
int32 to uint32 multiply, but this is potentially unsafe for 12-bit
input. Unfortunately the code already segfaults on 12-bit input:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webm/issues/detail?id=1223
calculate_variance: This operates on up to a 32x32 of 8x8s and can
overflow even with 8-bit input (log2((256*32*32)**2) == 36).

First, we only set use_4x4_partition for key frame where we don't
denoise; second, envision we have small partitions, we should pass the
actual block size to denoiser and make an early termination if needed.
Change-Id: I331f42046d792b17360723d17ff817d601394658
Avoid copy-block when denoising is at LowLow level (i.e., no denoising is done).
Instead, don't enter denoiser at all, and when level goes back up over kLowLow
do a reset in denoiser.

Some adjustments to inter-mode selection for vbr mode.
Condition some of the bias to low/zero motion on cbr mode, and
don't use int_pro_motion_estimation for golden ref
(treat it same as last ref).
Change only affect 1 pass vbr mode, speed >=5 (non-rd pickmode).
Encoding time increase within ~5%.
Avg PSNR/SSIM on RTC set increase by ~2%, all clips up,
ranging from 0.5 to 4%.

If a superblock contains alot of "skin" then force split
of 64x64 partition, and make some adjustments in mode selection.
This helps to reduce artifacts on moving face/skin areas at low bitrates.
Little/no change in metrics: avgPSNR/SSIM down by ~0.12%.
Small encoding time increase < 1%.

In inter mode search skip all modes except NEARESTMV and DC_PRED.
10% less encode latency for large frames using the chromium remoting_perftests.
+0.313% BDRATE on the screencast set at speed -6.

Changes to mode selection for 1 pass SVC mode:
use base layer motion vector, changes to intra-prediction.

This is a pure-refactor in preparation to potentially raise the bit-cost
resolution.
Verified at good speed 0 and rt speed -6.

This commit enables encoder to avoid 8x4 and 4x8 partitions for
scaled reference frames when libvpx is configured and built with
--enable-better-hw-compatibility

Move the logic for forcing zero_mode after the
(ref_frame & flag_list) check.
This was causing an memory leak under msan:

Change-Id: Ie9d243369f8ed7c332f46178275945331da4fd85
Keep track of frame indexes for the references, and
constrain inter mode search for reference with same
temporal alignment.
Improves speed by about ~15%, no noticeable loss in
compression performance.

Under certain denoising conditons, check for re-evaluation of
zero_last mode if best mode was golden reference.
Change-Id: Ic6cdfd175eef2f7d68606300c7173ab6654b3f6e
For denoising, and for noise level above threshold, re-evaluate
ZEROMV for mode selection after denoising.
Current change only does this check if selected best mode (before denoising)
was intra.
Change-Id: I4b1435b68d26c78f7597b995ee7bff0ddd5f9511
This change makes sure last reference with zero mv
is always checked for mode selection.
No change in metrics.

the final sum may use up to 26 bits
+ add a unit test
+ disable the sse2 as the result will rollover; this will be fixed in a
future commit

Change is only for real-time mode, speed >= 5, and non-screen content mode.
Add bias to zero/low motion for big blocks, if noise estimation
is enabled and noise level is above threshold.
Change-Id: I3a0a4608ede6aa535bda6eca528d20f8aba738e7
Use same setting for speed 5 (as it is for speed > 5).
Change is only for real-time (non-rd) mode.
Change-Id: I830250eac654328373cb318baa89d4f0e63942e1
Change is only for real-time mode, speed > 5, and non-screen content mode.
Bias is based on block size and motion vector level (motion above some threshold).
Helps to improves stability in background from lightning changes.
PSNR/SSIM metrics on RTC set almost no change/neutral (within +/- 0.1).
Change-Id: I7eac13c1ae10be4ab1f40acc7f9f1df5653ece9d
Only use non-zero threshold(s) for breakout if
the motion level of the current tested mode is low.

Source noise level estimate is also useful for
setting variance encoder parameters (variance thresholds,
qp-delta, mode selection, etc), so allow it to be used also
if denoising is not on.
Change-Id: I4fe23d47607b4e17a35287057f489c29114beed1
Adjust variance threshold, delta-qp, and intra penalty cost,
based on estimated noise level in source.
Replace denoising_on with a level value=L/M/H.

Limit transform size for intra to 16x16, for non-screen content mode.
Little/no change in speed or metrics.
32x32 intra block is rarley selected in RTC (non-screen content) case,
but some visual improvement can be seen in some example,
e.g., captured_video_dark_whd.yuv.
Change-Id: I68e2db87875343b3fb9bb407a7709f0088f84072
Reference frame masking logic may skip checking zeromv-last mode.
Fix to avoid this and make sure zero-last is always checked.
No noticeable change in speed, and PSNR/SSIM metrics on RTC set overall
neutral (very small gain ~0.02).
Small visual improvement on few RTC clips.
