If we are already saving a lot in bits from the target (maximum)
bitrate in the constrained quality mode, allow the quantizer
to go lower than the cq level. This hopefully will solve issues
with getting too low a bitrate and consequently poor quality for
certain videos in cq mode.

If the denoiser filter causes too big a change in the absolute pixel difference
(between source and denoised signal), the block is not denoised, which can cause
visual block artifacts. This change applies a second adjustment to the temporal filter
to effectively allow for a (weaker) denoising for such blocks (which can keep
the absolute differnence within the tolerance range in most cases).
This helps to reduce some of the block artifacts from the denoising.
The additional cost of re-applying the filter to this set of blocks is low,
as the percentage of blocks per frame (with too big a change in absolute pixel difference)
is typically small, 2-5%.

Renames all x86_64 specific assembly files to consistently
end in _x86_64.asm. This will be useful for build systems to
handle these files differently.
All new 64-bit specific assembly files should use the new
naming convention.

This commit changed to enable the encoder to adjust motion dection
speed threshold based on picture size. In addition, cpu-used 1 now
does a partition search every other frame instead of every third
frame for low resolution inputs.
The change has no quality/speed impact for 720p and above. Test
showed the change increase encoding time by between 3% to 6% for
cpu-used 2 encodiong of 360p sequences. It also has a compression
gain about .3%.
For cpu-used 2, the change resolved some very disturbing visual
artifacts in certain sequences when large block partitionings and
transforms are used as a result of copying the partition from a
previous frame.

The final goal is eventually to get rid of both itxm_add and fwd_txm4x4.
This patch does it in the decoder.

The current decode_tiles decodes the frame one tile by one tile
and then loopfilter the whole frame or use another worker thread to
do loopfiltering.
|------|------|------|------|
|Tile1-|Tile2-|Tile3-|Tile4-|
|------|------|------|------|
For example, if a tile video has one row and four cols, decode_tiles
will decode the Tile1, then Tile2, then Tile3, then Tile4.
And during decode each tile, decode_tile will decode row by row in
each tile.
For frame parallel decoding, decode_tiles will decode video in row order
across the tiles. So the order will be:
"Decode 1st row of Tile1" -> "Decode 1st row of Tile2"
-> "Decode 1st row of Tile3" -> "Decode 1st row of Tile4"
-> "Decode 2nd row of Tile1" -> "Decode 2nd row of Tile2"
-> "Decode 2nd row of Tile3" -> "Decode 2nd row of Tile4"-> "loopfilter 1st row"
