This commit allows encoder to skip intra coding mode test, when
the known inter residual is less than the source variance. It
reduces the runtime of speed 3 for test clips:
bus cif 1000 kbps: 8587 ms -> 8260 ms, 3.8% speed-up
pedestrian 1080p 2000 kbps: 161381 ms -> 155241 ms, 3.7% speed-up.
The compression performance is down by
derf -0.36%
stdhd -0.25%

This commit extends the sse and forward transform computation flag
to support the case 64x64 blocks where there are 4 32x32 2D-DCT
blocks.

In the partition search, the encoder checks all possible
partitionings in the superblock's partition search tree.
This patch proposed a set of criteria for partition search
early termination, which effectively decided whether or
not to terminate the search in current branch based on the
"skippable" result of the quantized transform coefficients.
The "skippable" information was gathered during the
partition mode search, and no overhead calculations were
introduced.
This patch gives significant encoding speed gains without
sacrificing the quality.
Borg test results:
1. At speed 1,
stdhd set: psnr: +0.074%, ssim: +0.093%;
derf set: psnr: -0.024%, ssim: +0.011%;
2. At speed 2,
stdhd set: psnr: +0.033%, ssim: +0.100%;
derf set: psnr: -0.062%, ssim: +0.003%;
3. At speed 3,
stdhd set: psnr: +0.060%, ssim: +0.190%;
derf set: psnr: -0.064%, ssim: -0.002%;
4. At speed 4,
stdhd set: psnr: +0.070%, ssim: +0.143%;
derf set: psnr: -0.104%, ssim: +0.039%;
The speedup ranges from several percent to 60+%.

Updates the vp9_pattern_search function to return integer one-away
neighbors' sad values, for subsequent use in speeding up the
sub-pel search. Also, removes code for the do_refine option
which is not being used currently.
Updates the integer and subpel functions to pass in a 5-element
sad list for output or input.
A new pruned sub-pel search algorithm is implemented that uses
the sad returned from the integer pel search. But it is not
deployed yet.

This commit re-work the operation flow related to prediction
residual generation and the rate-distortion modeling. It saves one
call for model_rd_for_sb.

The value of switchable rate has been stored in a local variable.
This change skips the second call to vp9_get_switchable_rate() by
reusing the local variable.

Check the mode and motion vector cost. If it is already above
the existing best rate-distortion cost, skip the rest check process
on this mode.

This commit makes the rate distortion modeling run in the unit of
maximum transform block size. No compression/speed change observed.
It is for the use of later fast forward transform purpose.

This commit addes a new strategy to reduce the search for optimal
interpolation filter type. The encoder counts and store how many each
filter type is selected and used for each of the reference frames.
A filter type that is rarely used for all three reference frames is
masked out to avoid computation.
The impact on compression is neglectible:
-0.02% on derf
+0.02% on stdhd
Encoding time is seen to reduce by 2~3%.

We can use one frame context for each layer so that we don't have
to reset the probs every frame. But we can't use prev_mi since we
may drop enhancement layers. So we have to generate a non vp9
compatible bitstream and modify it in the player.
1. We need to code all frames as invisible frame to let prev_mi
not to be used. But in the bitstream we need to code the
show_frame flag to 1 so that the publisher will know it's
supposed to be a visible frame.
2. In the player we need to change the show_frame flag to 0 for
all frames. Then add an one byte frame into the super frame
to tell the decoder which layer we want to show.

The function was called in two places. In the first case it is replaced
with vp9_set_speed_features() call. In the second case the body of set_speed_features() is inlined.
