In aq-mode=3 under a resizing action (i.e., resize_pending != 0),
force an update of the golden reference frame.

Reduce boost for segment#2 for low bitrates and low-res.
This change is to reduce the rate overshoot at low bitrates.
No change in behavior, except at the very low bitrates.

For screen content don't refresh a block at a quantizer higher than
it was last coded at. PReviosuly at realtime speeds the encoder had a
tendency to recode a block from GOLDEN with a higher Q than it was last
coded at.

Decision to scale down/up is based on buffer state and average QP
over previous time window. Limit the total amount of down-scaling
to be at most one scale down for now.
Reset certain quantities after resize (buffer level, cyclic refresh,
rate correction factor).
Feature is enable via the setting rc_resize_allowed = 1.

Reduce motion threshold and boost factor for second segment,
for low bitrates, at low resolutions for now.
This is to reduce the rate fluctuation/frame dropping that occurs
at these low bitrates.

The default golden frame interval was doubled. After encoding a
frame, the background motion was measured. If the motion was high,
the current frame was set as the golden frame. Currently, the
changes were applied only while aq-mode 3 was on.
Borg tests(rtc set) showed a 0.226% PSNR gain and 0.312% SSIM gain.
No speed changes.

Factor in segment#2 and skip blocks into the postencode estimated bits,
and increase somewhat the aggressiveness of the refresh.
PSNR/SSIM Metrics on RTC set go up by ~0.8/0.5%.

For non-SVC 1 pass CBR: make the GF update interval a multiple of the
cyclic refresh period, and use encoding stats to prevent GF update at certain times.
Change-Id: I4c44cacc2f70f1d27391a47644837e1eaa065017
Target higher delta-qp for big blocks with zero motion,
and for segment#1: avoid 64x64 partition size and force 8x8 tx size.
Metrics on RTC set mostly positive: SSIM up by ~4%, PSRN by ~1.5%.
Doesn't seem to be any change in speed.

Add distortion threshold condition to refresh state of a coding block,
and allow for qp adjustment also for some intra modes and non-zero motion modes.
Also some code cleanup (remove unused variables/code).

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

Two members in struct CYCLIC_REFRESH
int64_t projected_rate_sb;
int64_t projected_dist_sb;
are updated at the superblock level, which makes them shared data
in the multi-thread situation, and requires extra work to handle
them. However, those values are updated and used immediately, and
therefore can be removed. This patch cleaned up the code and
removed the two members.

This commit removes the cyclic aq mode dependency on
in_static_area and reworks the corresponding cut-off thresholds.
It improves the compression performance of speed -5 by 1.47% in
PSNR and 2.07% in SSIM, and the compression performance of speed
-6 by 3.10% in PSNR and 5.25% in SSIM. Speed wise, about 1% faster
in both settings at high bit-rates.

vp9_rdopt is for making rd optimal mode decisions. vp9_rd is for all
other rd related routines. Anything used outside of making an rd optimal
decision belongs in rd.

This commit enables a background detection approach for adaptive
quantizer control. It combines the cyclic refresh pattern and the
background information to determine the segment id for adaptive
quantizer selection, prior to the non-RD mode decision process.
It hence allows proper quantization information update for a more
precise rate-distortion modeling in the non-RD mode decision.
The compression performance of speed -5 for rtc set is improved
by 2.5%, at no speed change.

For real-time mode under cbr, this increases the gain (5-10%)
for speed 5 (none/little change for 6), on vc-clips.
Change-Id: I9b38beeb3c820de22c43a0ba53a9456168dd24ba
Removes a TODO. Changed meaning of some parameters
(target-max-percent refresh and starting index) to be
defined relative to superblock. Also, modify turn-off condition.
