For a large change in the target avg_frame_bandwidth,
via the update in change_config()), reset the buffer_level
to optimal_level.
This fix prevents possible frame drops, where for example,
encoder suddenly goes from lower to higher bitrate.

For large dynamic changes in target avg_frame_bandwidth, or
a change in resolution, via the update in change_config()),
reset the under/overshoot flags (rc_1_frame, rc_2_frame)
to prevent constraining the QP for the first few frames
following the change.
For SVC use the spatial stream avg_frame_bandwidth in
reset condition.
For the avg_frame_bandwidth condition, use fairly large
threshold (~50%) for now in reset.
This allows for better/faster QP response if, for example,
application dynamically changes bitrate by large amount.

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.

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.

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.

For SVC with 3 spatial layers:
Add feature to copy/upscale partition from middle spatial layer
to the upper/highest resolution, when superblock sad is not high.
Enabled for speed >= 7 and only for non-reference frames.
Speedup ~3-4%, small loss in avgPNSR/SSIM of ~1%.

For SVC 1 pass non-rd mode:
Force subpel seach off for SVC for non-reference frames
under motion threshold.
Add flag to svc context to indicate if the frame is not used
as a reference.
Little/no quaity loss, ~2% speedup.

Add option in SVC to set the filter type and phase for
the frame level downsampling filters.
For 3 spatial layers: set downsampling filter type to bilinear
and set phase to 8, for lowest spatial layer.

For lowest spatial layer, in 3 layer SVC, set the
downsampling filtertype to get averaging filter.
Needed for reducing aliasing on low-res layer,
small increase in overall encoder time.

The scaling filter with zero shift will give sub-sampling for
2x downsampling. Allow for a phase shift to get an averaging filter.
Usage is for source scaling in 1 pass SVC mode for 1:2 downscale.
Reduces aliasing in downsampled image.
Keep the phase to 0/off for now.

use_base_mv assumes 2x2 scaling, so fix is to shutoff
this feature unless spatial scale factors are 2.
Added svc unittest for 2 spatial layers with 5x5 scaling,
which generates the issue without this fix.
Also fix some settings in svc unittest:
let the speed setting vary (from 5 to 8), and enable static threshold.

This change eliminates redundant computation in the two stage
downscaling, which saves ~1% encoding time in 3-layer svc encoding.

So it can be used even with aq-mode=3 not enabled.
Also cleans up some code in the places where its used.
No change in behavior.

For 1 pass cbr mode: allow for two-stage 1:2 scaling
(which will use the 1:2 optimized scaler) if the spatial
layer is 1/4x1/4 of souce.
Without this change, the base layer for 3 spatial layers would
be using the non-normative scaler which is un-optimized/C code.

Set initial values for these parameters in the vp9_init_layer_context().

Use the existing VP9_SET_SVC control to set the
first spatial layer to encode.
Since we loop over all spatial layers inside the encoder, the
setting of spatial_layer_id via VP9_SET_SVC has no relevance.
Use it instead to set the first_spatial_layer_to_encode,
which allows an application to skip encoding lower layer(s).
Change only affects the 1 pass CBR SVC.
Change-Id: I5d63ab713c3e250fdf42c637f38d5ec8f60cd1fb
Add SVC codec control to set the frame flags and buffer indices
for each spatial layer of the current (super)frame to be encoded.
This allows the application to set (and change on the fly) the
reference frame configuration for spatial layers.
Added an example layer pattern (spatial and temporal layers)
in vp9_spatial_svc_encoder for the bypass_mode using new control.

For 1 pass CBR spatial-SVC:
Add cyclic refresh parameters to the svc-layer context.
This allows cyclic refresh (aq-mode=3) to be applied to
the whole super-frame (all spatial layers).
This gives a performance improvement for spatial layer encoding.
Addd the aq_mode mode on/off setting as command line option.

This patch just fixes the test for the time being, but does not
actually solve the underlying issue, which still needs investigation.

Previously limit on max interval set to 0.5 seconds.
Though this helped some low frame rate material it
appears to be a bit too aggressive for some 24 and 25 fps
content. This patch relaxes the limit to 0.75 seconds.
The patch also adds a new minimum interval variable
to replace the current hard wired value. This allows us
to impose a limit on the maximum number of primary
arfs per second for high frame rate (e.g. 50 & 60fps)
content. This is to address concerns regarding playback
performance on some platforms if there is a high base
frame rate and very frequent arfs.
