Denoise 2 spatial layes at most.
Add noise sensitivity level 2 for vp9 such that applications can control
whether to denoise the second highest spatial layer.
Add tests to cover this case.

Immediately following a key frame the trailing second reference
error in the first pass stats will be based on a reference frame from
the prior key frame group and will thus usually be much larger.
This fix eliminates that effect (which typically triggers a short arf
group immediately after a key frame). It also changes the accounting
for the first frame in each new arf group.
This change gives large gains on a couple of clips that contain mid
sequence key frames (e.g. 6% on 1080P tennis). Overall there was
a net gain in PSNR and PSNR-HVS ~(0.05- 0.4%) and mixed results for
SSIM (+/- 0.2%).

Downsampling filter for SVC was set to subsample (phase 0)
for HD -> VGA, and bilinear averaging (phase 8) for VGA -> QVGA.
This change makes it bilinear averaging for HD -> VGA.
Given the recent commit 9f9d4f8, quality is improved with
this change: avgPSNR/SSIM up ~1-3% on HD clips in RTC set.
Speed decrease of ~1% for 3 layer SVC.

Move the early exit checks on usable_ref_frame and
skip_ref_find_pref up before the check on flag_svc_subpel.
The code under flag_svc_subpel requires frame_mv to be set
for the golden/spatial reference, which is only set if the
both those exits don't pass.
No change in behavior.

For nonrd pickmode on a given spatial layer, the spatial
(golden) reference was always only using zeromv for prediction.
In this patch if the downsampling filter used for generating
the lower spatial layer is an averaging filter (nonzero phase),
we allow for subpel motion on the spatial (golden) reference to
compensate for the shift. This is done by forcing the testing of
nonzero motion mode to compensate for spatial downsampling shift.
Improvement for cases where the downsampling is averaging filter.
In the current code this is only done for generating
resolutions <= QVGA.
Improvement for avgPSNR/SSIM on RTC set for speed 7: ~1.2%.
Gain is larger (~2-3%) for VGA clips with 2 spatial layers.
~1% speed slowdown for 3 layer SVC on mac.

No need to specify default behaviour. The original change introducing nasm:
7be093ea4d
mentions requiring 2.0.9, which was the first release to default to this behaviour:
http://www.nasm.us/doc/nasmdoc2.html
"The -Ox mode is recommended for most uses, and is the default since NASM 2.09."

For the case when the number of temporal layers > 1,
the buffer levels (starting/optimal_buffer_level,
and maximum_buffer_size) were not scaled properly.
In vp9_update_layer_context_change_config():
when setting the layer-buffer levels, fix is to scale
the layer-target_bandwidth by the target_bandwidth
(which is the full stream bandwidth) instead of the
spatial_layer_target.
This is needed because prior to the call
vp9_update_layer_context_change_config(), set_rc_buffer_sizes()
is called which sets the buffer levels based on target bandwidth
(which is the full bandwidth for the SVC stream).
This fix properly sets the layer-buffer levels based on the
layer-bandwidth, and leads to better rate targeting.
Small/neutral change in avgPSNR/SSIM metrics on RTC set.
