Use force_split to constrain the partition selection.
This is used because in the top-down approach to variance partition,
a block size may be selected even though one of its subblocks may have
high variance.
In this patch the selection of the 64x64 block size will only
be allowed if the variance of all the 32x32 subblocks are also below the threshold.
Stil testing, but some visual improvement for areas near slow moving boundary
can be seen. Metrics for RTC set increase by about ~0.5%.

Move the scaling factor outside column projection. This avoids
repeated calculation of the same scaling factor. Profiling shows
that the percentage of vp9_int_pro_col_sse2 of overall cycles
goes from 2.29% down to 1.88%.

1. remove duplicate initialization to mbmi->interp_filter.
2. move mv clamping into ref_frame loop instead of mode checking loop.
3. move the check if last frame is same as golden frame earlier to
avoid initialization of Golden reference related variables.

The compression performance of speed -5 is on average 12.6% better
than speed -6. At lower bit-rates, the gains are typically 20% or
more. For 2-thread encoding, the speed -5 takes about 1.6x time of
speed -6.

The commit updates the comments in vp8cx.h to make it clear which
codec support each of codec control functions.

Crash occured on very first key frame, because denoiser
temporal function was beng entered.
Updated denoiser unittest to set cpu_used from first frame,
and verified fix fixes the crash.

This commit uses a 6-point 1-step refine motion search in the
integral projection based full pixel motion estimation, to replace
the current 9-point search.
It reduces runtime cost of speed -6 on some noisy clips, e.g.,
dark720p single thread
33314 b/f, 40.076 dB, 18231 ms ->
33307 b/f, 40.067 dB, 17768 ms
The compression performance for rtc set remains unchanged.

This commit changes to use single loop to evaluate all inter modes.
There is no impact on compression quality and speed, but allow future
experiment with the order of modes evaluated.

Added a skip_dc check. If skip_dc = 1, we could eliminate calling
of vp9_model_rd_from_var_lapndz(). This gave slight PSNR & SSIM
gain(<0.1%), and no speed change.
