This commit allows sub8x8 intra modes test in the rate-distortion
loop for hd sequences in speed 1 and 2.
For sequence y90n of hd set at 8000 kbps, speed 2 runtime goes
from 207s to 210s. For ped_1080p at 3000 kbps, speed 2 runtim goes
from 336s to 337s. Both are running with 300 frames.
This improves compression performance by 0.24% for stdhd and 0.32%
for hd.

rate-distortion optimization search loop for each setting. It also
removes the use of SPLITMV and I4X4_PRED therein.
No performance change in speed 0 settings. For bus@CIF at 2000kbps,
the speed 1 runtime goes from 48009ms to 43894ms (about 10% faster).
The overall compression performance on derf changed by -0.021%.
Speed 2 runtime goes from 27114ms to 28700ms (6% slower), while the
overall coding efficiency goes up by 1.629% for derf, 1.236% for yt.

Substantial reworking of the speed vs quality trade offs for
speed 1 and 2.
In this patch I am attempting to freeze the "quality" meaning of
speeds 1 and 2 relative to speed 0 so that in future we can
better evaluate progress.
I am targeting :
Speed 1 quality ~-5% vs speed 0.
Speed 2 quality ~-10% vs speed 0
It is inevitable that quality will still fluctuate a little as we adjust
settings and add new features, but we will attempt to keep as
close as possible to these values. Above speed 2 things will remain
a bit more fluid for now.
In this patch speed 1 is approximately 4-5x as fast as speed 0. This
is similar to before but the quality hit is a lot less. Likewise speed 2
is approximately 2x as fast as speed 1 but is similar in quality to the
previous speed 1 configuration.
Also slight change to behavior of FLAG_EARLY_TERMINATE to insure
all reference frames get at least one rd test. Important for very low
variance regions.
WIP :- Added a new speed level with old speed 4 becoming speed 5.
Speed 3 and 4 tradeoffs still WIP

Simplify the k_cvtlo_epi16 and k_cvthi_epi16 to only two

quoting from intel MMX_App_Compute_16bit_Vector.pdf
"The PMADDWD instruction multiplies four
pairs of 16-bit numbers and produces partial sums of the results
and can do so once per clock (with a three-clock latency)."
so I am assuming that there will be three clock overhead after the
last _mm_madd_pi16 command.
Even with the overhead the number of clocks in general should be
smaller. I am not sure though becasue I could not find information
about number of clocks required for instructions in k_cvtlo_epi16
and k_cvthi_epi16. I will run a test and compare the execution time.

Also turns on the constrained quality mode (end-usage=2) option which
was turned off before. Basic testing shows the mode works in principle,
to cap bitrate to the target-bitrate specified, while allowing lower
bitrate depending on the cq-level specified. The mode will need to be
improved over time.

A previous speed feature skipped modes not used in earlier

Adds a new end-usage option for constant quality encoding in vpx. This
first version implemented for VP9, encodes all regular inter frames
using the quality specified in the --cq-level= option, while encoding
all key frames and golden/altref frames at a quality better than that.
The current performance on derfraw300 is +0.910% up from bitrate control,
but achieved without multiple recode loops per frame.

in subsequent patches based on better use of stats from the first pass.
Further, the qp for regular inter frames may also be varied around the

Added some code to output normalized rd hit count stats.
In effect this approximates to the average number of rd
operations/tests per pixel for the sequence.
The results are not quite accurate and I have not bothered
to account for partial SB64s at frame edges and for key frames
However they do give some idea of the number of modes /
prediction methods being tested for each pixel across the
different partition sizes. This indicates how much scope their
is for further gains either by reducing the number of partitions
examined or the modes per partition through heuristics.
Patch 3 moved place where count incremented so partial rd
tests that are aborted with INT_MAX return are also counted.

Impact.
At high speed settings on some clips the key frame was starting

{SPLIT, NONE, HORZ, VERT} to {NONE, SPLIT, HORZ, VERT} for
consistency with that of sub8x8 partition search. It enable the use
of early termination in partition search for all block sizes.
For ped_area_1080p 50 frames coded at 4000 kbps, it makes the runtime
goes down from 844305ms -> 818003ms (3% speed-up) at speed 0.
This will further move towards making the in-search partition types
configurable, hence unifying various speed-up approaches.
Some speed 1 and 2 features are turned off during the refactoring
process, including:
disable_split_var_thresh
using_small_partition_info
Stricter constraints are applied to use_square_partition_only for
right/bottom boundary blocks. Will bring back/refine these features
subsequently. At this point, it makes derf set at speed 1 about
0.45% higher in compression performance, and 9% down in run-time.

Adds a couple of minor fixes, which may be absorbed in Jingning's
patch. Thanks to Guillaume for pointing these out.
Also adjusts the thresholds for speed 1 and 2 to 16 and 32
respectively, to keep quality drops small.
Results:
--------
derfraw300: threshold = 16, psnr -0.082%, speedup 2-3%
threshold = 32, psnr -0.218%, speedup 5-6%
stdhdraw250: threshold = 16, psnr -0.031%, speedup 2-3%
threshold = 32, psnr -0.273%, speedup 5-6%

It appears that the above/left mb_skip_coeff used during
the pick modes, is left over from the previously
encode frame. This patch initializes the flag to the default
value of zero.

Adding set_contexts contexts function and call it instead of
set_contexts_on_border. Calling txfrm_block_to_raster_xy to get aoff and
loff.

Check the minimum rate-distortion cost of regular quantization and
all zero coeffs cases in the sub8x8 inter prediction rd loop for
luma components. Use this as the cumulative rdcost sent to UV rd
estimation.

Cleans up the switchable filter search logic. Also adds a
speed feature - a variance threshold - to disable filter search
if source variance is lower than this value.
Results: derfraw300
threshold = 16, psnr -0.238%, 4-5% speedup (tested on football)
threshold = 32, psnr -0.381%, 8-9% speedup (tested on football)
threshold = 64, psnr -0.611%, 12-13% speedup (tested on football)
threshold = 96, psnr -0.804%, 16-17% speedup (tested on football)
Based on these results, the threshold is chosen as 16 for speed 1,
32 for speed 2, 64 for speed 3 and 96 for speed 4.

Changes to code to auto select a partition size range
based on data from spatial neighbors.
Now looks at the sb_type in each 8x8 block of above
and left SB64.
The effect on speed 1 is now weaker giving better
quality but less speed gain. Now also used in speed 2.

As the pixel values beyond image border are duplicates of pixels
on edge, the change limits the mv search range, any mv beyond
the limits no longer produce new/different prediction values
as entire block with pixels used for subpel interpolation are
outside image border.

For certain partition size, the function poniter may not be intialized
at all. The patch prevent the call if the pointer is not set.

This commit enables early termination in the rate-distortion
optimization search loop for chroma components. When the cumulative
rd cost is above the current best value, skip the rest per-block
transform/quantization/coeff_cost and continue to the next
prediction mode.
For bus_cif at 2000 kbps, the average run-time goes down from
168546ms -> 164678ms, (2% speed-up) at speed 0
36197ms -> 34465ms, (4% speed-up) at speed 1

Updating all foreach_transformed_block_visitor functions to work with
plane block size instead of general block. Removing a lot of duplicated
code.

This change set is intermediate. The next one will remove all repetitive
plane_bsize calculations, because it will be passed as argument to
foreach_transformed_block_visitor.

Return the distortion value in vp9_rd_pick_intra_mode_sb as sum of
dist_y and dist_uv. Remove the right shift operation on dist_uv,
and make it consistent with that of vp9_rd_pick_inter_mode_sb.

This commit makes the rate-distortion optimization search of chroma
components consistent across all block sizes. It removes redundant
codes.

VP9_COMMON is the right place to segmentatation struct because it has
global segmentation parameters, not something specific to macroblock
processing.
