When the codec in VBR (or cq) mode hits its max q limits and is
struggling to hit a target bandwidth, the bit target per frame collapses.
In the first instance normal frames cap out at the maximum allowed
Q and then the ARF and GFs do the same. This latter behavior is not
generally desirable as GFs and ARFs are only effective from a quality
and data rate perspective if they have at lease some level of -Q delta
compared to the surrounding frames.
In this patch I define a separate max Q for GFs and ARFs that is
derived from but somewhat lower than that defined for normal frames.
In effect there is a minimum Q delta that will always be available for
GFs and ARFs regardless of the target rate and MAXQ setting.
This may of course mean that the absolute lowest rate obtainable for
a given clip is somewhat higher.

We have two SSE2-optimized functions for idct4_1d:
vp9_idct4_1d_sse2 <-- removing this one
idct4_1d_sse2
vp9_idct4_1d_sse2 was used only by the following functions which already
have SSE2 optimized variants:
vp9_idct4x4_16_add_c -> vp9_idct4x4_16_add_see2
idct8_1d -> vp9_idct8x8_{16, 10, 1}_see2
vp9_short_iht4x4_add_c -> vp9_short_iht4x4_add_see2

To ensure fast encoding/decoding on devices without ssse3 support,
SSE2 optimization of sub-pixel filters was done. Test using 1080p
clip showed the decoder speeds were ~70fps with ssse3 filters, ~60fps
with sse2 filters, and ~15fps with c filters.

Renames:
fdct4_1d -> fdct4
fadst4_1d -> fadst4
fdct8_1d -> fdct8
fadst8_1d -> fadst8
fdct16_1d -> fdct16
fadst16_1d -> fadst16
"_1d" suffix is redundant, so removing it. The same will happen with idct
in the next change sets.

This commit re-designs the per transformed block rate-distortion
costs tracking buffers. It removes redundant buffer usage, makes
the needed context memory allocation per VP9_COMP instance and
reuses the same buffer sets inside the rate-distortion optimization
search loop, thereby avoiding repeatedly requiring memory space.
It reduces speed 0 runtime:
bus at 2000 kbps from 166763ms to 158967ms,
football at 600 kbps from 246614ms to 234257ms.
Both about 5% speed-up. Local tests suggest about 2% to 5% speed-up
for speed 1 and 2 settings. This does not change compression
performance.

Increases these parameters.
There is a small efficiency gain.

The intra mode distortion adjustment for skip_encode feature was
broken in the refactoring cc91851. This commit fixes it and tunes
the distortion models used therein.

snprintf is not supported by MSVC, the commit replace it with the msvc
variant _snprintf to enable build.

Use b_mode_info to store the inter prediction mode of sub8x8 block,
in replacement of the use of partition_info. Remove redundant buffer
update for partition_info. For bus_cif at 2000 kbps, this seem to make
speed 0 about 1% faster.

When all coefficients are zeros, skip the corresponding 1-D inverse
transform. This practice has been used in the SSE2 implementation of
inverse 32x32 DCT. This commit imports this algorithm into the C code.

We already have itxm_add member in MACROBLOCKD structure. Both
inv_txm4x4_1_add and inv_txm4x4_add are just its special cases for
different eob values. But eob logic is already implemented in
vp9_iwht4x4_add and vp9_idct4x4_add (that's why also removing
inverse_transform_b_4x4_add).
