1. Add "best_mv" in MACROBLOCK to store the best motion vector
during motion search, so that we don't need to pass its pointer
to various motion search functions.
2. Declare some functions as static when possible.
3. Fix some indents.

- Use int32_t instead of int in vpx_obmc{variance,sad} functions
- Remove weigthed_src and obmc mask strides and assume contiguous
buffers. These inputs can always be packed as contiguous arrays.

Weighted single motion search is implemented for obmc predictor.
When NEWMV mode is used, to determine the MV for the current block,
we run weighted motion search to compare the weighted prediction
with (source - weighted prediction using neighbors' MVs), in which
the distortion is the actual prediction error of obmc prediction.
Coding gain: 0.404/0.425/0.366 for lowres/midres/hdres
Speed impact: +14% encoding time
(obmc w/o mv search 13%-> obmc w/ mv search 27%)

Using the up-sampled reference frames in sub-pixel motion search is
enabled as a speed feature for good-quality mode speed 0 and speed 1.

Up-sampled the reference frames to 8 times in each dimension using
the 8-tap interpolation filter. In sub-pixel motion search, use the
up-sampled reference frames to find the best matching blocks. This
largely improved the motion search precision, and thus, improved
the compression quality. There was no change in decoder side.
Borg test and speed test results:
1. On derflr set,
Overall PSNR gain: 1.306%, and SSIM gain: 1.512%.
Average speed loss on derf set was 6.0%.
2. On stdhd set,
Overall PSNR gain: 0.754%, and SSIM gain: 0.814%.
On hevchd set,
Overall PSNR gain: 0.465%, and SSIM gain: 0.527%.
Speed loss on HD clips was 3.5%.
