This commit separates Hadamard transform/quantization operations
from rate and distortion computation in block_yrd. This allows one
to skip SATD computation when all transform blocks are quantized
to zero. It also uses a new block error function that skips
repeated computation of sum of squared residuals. It reduces the
CPU cycles spent on block error calculation in block_yrd by 40%.

This commit replaces the 16x16 2D-DCT transform with Hadamard
transform for RTC coding mode. It reduces the CPU cycles cost
on 16x16 transform by 5X. Overall it makes the speed -6 encoding
speed 1.5% faster without compromise on compression performance.

This commit uses Hadamard transform based rate-distortion cost
estimate for rtc coding mode decision. It improves the compression
performance of speed -6 for many hard clips at lower bit-rates.
For example, 5.5% for jimredvga, 6.7% for mmmoving, 6.1% for
niklas720p. This will introduce extra encoding cycle costs at
this point.

This commit replaces the SAD with variance as metric for the
integral projection vector match. It improves the search accuracy
in the presence of slight light change. The average speed -6
compression performance for rtc set is improved by 1.7%. No speed
changes are observed for the test clips.

This commit introduces a new block match motion estimation
using integral projection measurement. The 2-D block and the nearby
region is projected onto the horizontal and vertical 1-D vectors,
respectively. It then runs vector match, instead of block match,
over the two separate 1-D vectors to locate the motion compensated
reference block.
This process is run per 64x64 block to align the reference before
choosing partitioning in speed 6. The overall CPU cycle cost due
to this additional 64x64 block match (SSE2 version) takes around 2%
at low bit-rate rtc speed 6. When strong motion activities exist in
the video sequence, it substantially improves the partition
selection accuracy, thereby achieving better compression performance
and lower CPU cycles.

Change 72193 made the encoder behave differently
when configured with and without high bitdepth.
This change means the same algorithm is used for both.

For key frame at speed 6: enable the non-rd mode selection in speed setting
and use the (non-rd) variance_based partition.
Adjust some logic/thresholds in variance partition selection for key frame only (no change to delta frames),
mainly to bias to selecting smaller prediction blocks, and also set max tx size of 16x16.
Loss in key frame quality (~0.6-0.7dB) compared to rd coding,
but speeds up key frame encoding by at least 6x.
Average PNSR/SSIM metrics over RTC clips go down by ~1-2% for speed 6.

This commit reworks the forward transform and quantization process
for 8x8 block coding. It combines the two operations in a single
function to save a store/load stage of the original transform
coefficients. Overall the speed -6 is slightly faster (around 1%
range). The compression performance of speed -6 is improved by
3.4%.
