Make some speed setting changes for temporal enhancement layers,
and remove the switch in subpel_force_stop for the aggressive_base_mv
in non-rd pickmode.
Gain some 2-3% speed with little/negligible quality loss.

For speed >= 8 and color_sensitivity not set, skip the transform
skipping test in UV planes.
Add a new condition to check noise level to skip chroma check
for speed >= 8 if y_sad is high.
1~2% speedup on ARM for speed 8.
Borg tests show neutral results in both rtc and rtc_derf.

Add a low-variance high-sumdiff to the superblock content state
and use it to limit the mv and bias some decisions in non-rd pickmode.
Only affects speed >= 6.
Reduces artifact for lighting changes.
Small/no difference in metrics on RTC set.

This patch followed allow_exhaustive_searches feature modification and
continued to modify the encoder to achieve the determinism in the row
based multi-threaded encoding. While row-mt = 1 and using multiple
threads, the adaptive feature in encoder was disabled, which gave
BDRate gain(at speed 1, -0.6% ~ -0.7%; at speed 2, -0.46% ~ -0.59%),
but some encoder speed losses(7% ~ 10% at speed 1 and 3% ~ 6% at
speed 2). These speed losses were acceptable considering the speed
gains obtained from row-mt.

A previous patch turned on allow_exhaustive_searches feature only for
FC_GRAPHICS_ANIMATION content. This patch further modified the feature
by removing the exhaustive search limit, and made it no longer adaptive.
As a result, the 2 counts that recorded the number of motion searches
were removed, which helped achieve the determinism in the row based
multi-threading encoding. Tests showed that this patch didn't cause
the encoder much slower.
Used exhaustive_searches_thresh for this speed feature, and removed
allow_exhaustive_searches. Also, refactored the speed feature code
to follow the general speed feature setting style.

The more aggressive settings should only be used when denoise_svc
condition is satisfied (which means top spatial layer).

In non-rd pickmode (speed >= 5), avoid duplication of computations in
model_rd_for_sb_y when the speed feature use_simple_block_yrd is
enabled (or for high bitdepth build under certain conditions).
QVGA, VGA and HD have 1.23%, 2.68% and 1.7% speedup on ARM for speed 8,
respectively.
Encoding results are bitexact for speed >= 5.

Re-enable the SVC tests, wrap the non-zero expectation
in GetMismatchFrames around #if CONFIG_VP9_DECODER.

Slightly faster, the other dc predictors cannot be faster since
the computation speedup is overwhelmed by the time spent reading
dst to write just the 8x8 part.

The allow_exhaustive_searches feature improves the encoding quality
of FC_GRAPHICS_ANIMATION content a lot. For non-FC_GRAPHICS_ANIMATION
content, the quality test result is almost neutral. This patch makes
this feature to be used only for FC_GRAPHICS_ANIMATION content.
The motivation of doing that is to make this feature no longer adaptive,
which will be implemented in the following patch.

Replace by CAST_TO_BYTEPTR/SHORTPTR.
The rule is: if a short ptr is casted to a byte ptr, any offset
operation on the byte ptr must be doubled. We do this by casting to
short ptr first, adding offset, then casting back to byte ptr.

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.
