This patch followed allow_exhaustive_searches feature modification and
continued to modify the encoder to achieve the determinism in the row
based multi-threaded encoding. While row-mt = 1 and using multiple
threads, the adaptive feature in encoder was disabled, which gave
BDRate gain(at speed 1, -0.6% ~ -0.7%; at speed 2, -0.46% ~ -0.59%),
but some encoder speed losses(7% ~ 10% at speed 1 and 3% ~ 6% at
speed 2). These speed losses were acceptable considering the speed
gains obtained from row-mt.

This may fix the time out failure of valgrind tests in nightly
since more coverages were added on row-mt.

new_mt is a very generic name that will get obsolete soon enough.
Since this is exposed as a codec control, renaming it to row_mt to
signify row level paralellism. Also renaming the ETHREAD_BIT_MATCH
codec control to ROW_MT_BIT_EXACT.

Re-organized the encoder threading tests and grouped tests into
4 parts. Added PSNR checking test to make sure the PSNR variation
is within a small range.

While the new-mt mode is enabled(namely, allowing to use row-based
multi-threading in encoder), several speed features that adaptively
adjust encoding parameters during encoding would cause mismatch
between single-thread encoded bitstream and multi-thread encoded
bitstream. This patch provides a set_control API to disable these
features, so that the bit match bitstream is obtained in the unit
test.

1. Rebased the patch. Incorporated recent first pass changes.
2. Turned on the first pass unit test.

Added the multi-threaded first pass encoder unit test in VP9. The test is
to check if the new multi-threaded first pass encoder(namely, new-mt = 1)
still generates matching stats. In the unit test, the new-mt mode will be
turned on once the multi-threaded first pass implementation is checked in.

VpxEncoderThreadTest was taking a very long time for some runs and
timing out a lot. This is an attempt to split the test into runs
that can be run nightly ( speeds 2 through 9) and runs that can
be run weekly ( speeds 0-1 ).
Change-Id: Iee6f61a561006d3a30381dd3b52b9a4dce07a70c
Modified the encoder multi-thread test so that it included cpu-used=0 and
frame-parallel=0.
frame_parallel_decoding_mode is 1 by default, which disables probability
updating and gives lower encoding quality. Current VP9 multi-threading
encoder and decoder support probability updating. To test this part, we
should turn on it in the unit test, namely, setting frame-parallel to 0.

Re-use the tile worker threads to pack the bitstream in parallel
on a per-tile basis. Restricting this to real-time only for now
(further testing is needed to ensure this does not make 2-pass
worse in any case).

The unit tests for VP9 multi-threaded encoder are added, which
carry out tests for all three modes(i.e. kTwoPassGood, kOnePassGood
and kRealTime), and speeds ranging from 1 to 8. A 1280x720 test
clip is used, which is encoded into multiple tiles. The number of
threads is num_of_tiles.
