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.

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.

This commit removes the pred_mv_sad comparison from rtc motion
search, given that a stronger comparison has been done at the
mode search level to eliminate unlikely selected reference frames.

This commit enables the rtc coding mode to run integral projection
based motion search for golden reference frame. It improves the
speed -6 compression performance by 1.1% on average, 3.46% for
jimred_vga, 6.46% for tacomascmvvga, and 0.5% for vidyo clips. The
speed -6 is about 6% slower.

Make the vp9_int_pro_motion_estimation() function return zero

This patch accounts in the first pass stats for blocks that
while not coded as intra, are complex and have an intra error /
best error ratio below a threshold.
The modification shortens the GF arf interval for a particular
class of content that contains a lot of blocks matching the
above criteria. (In one short problem test sequence the average
interval dropped from about 14-15 to 10-11)
The change results in small net gains in metrics results for the
Yt(~0.2%) and yt-hd (~0.5%) sets and is approximately neutral
for the other test sets.
The change is currently shielded by a flag and off by default
pending verification that it does not cause other regressions
in tests on a wider YT test set.

Only update the rd_thresh factors for modes sharing same reference

The return value from vp9_compute_qdelta_by_rate, which is
a delta value for the quantizer, could never be 0 if
(qindex == rc->worst_quality).
This occurs because target_index was setup unconditionally
in the loop and yet the loop counter stopped at
(rc->worst_quality - 1).

Choose_partition uses only the last frame as reference frame in making
partition decision, this commit adds the check on how well Golden
frame with (0,0) predicts the current block, and uses GF(0,0) as
basis for partition decision if it produces better prediction.
The commit improves rtc speed 6 and 7 encoding by 0.14% and 0.19%
respectively.

When golden reference frame is refreshed, the next frame has both
its last and golden reference frames point to the same reference
frame in real-time coding mode. Experiments suggest that using
two separate reference frames for frames right after golden refresh
frame does not provide further compression performance advantage.
This commit hence retains the current encoder implementation and
shuts off the mode search over golden reference frame in this case.
It makes the encoder run slightly faster at no coding performance
change.

While searching for the best mode in non-rd case, SSE of
a partition block is calculated and the transform size is set.
This patch rewrites the skip checking conditions based on
transform size instead of partition size to be more precise.
Small gains were seen in rtc set borg test (speed 6).
AVG PSNR: 0.087%, overall PSNR: 0.073%, SSIM: 0.146%.

It was tiny when it was orginally marked INLINE. Forcing this function

Frame buffers are now allocated dynamically on-demand.
Entries in the reference frame map, cm->ref_frame_map,
may now be set to -1 (INVALID_IDX) to indicate that
there is not a valid reference buffer in that "slot".
All slots in the reference frame map are now initialized
to the empty state (-1) and each buffer is initialized
to have a reference count of 0.

Use rectangular block size for integral projection motion estimation
if the the 64x64 block has over half block outside the frame. This

Instead using only a fixed threshold, this commit adapts the threshold
for color sensitivity decision to luma signal energy: chroma channel's
sse is at least 1/6 of that in luma for color sensitivity flag to be
set to active.
This recoups a large portion of the speed loss due to accounting for
chroma component costs in RTC mode decision.

This commit replaces the SAD with variance as metric for the
integral projection vector match. It improves the search accuracy
in the presence of slight light change. The average speed -6
compression performance for rtc set is improved by 1.7%. No speed

This commit fixes an issue in source frame border extension. It
causes certain frame resolution such as 640x480 to have a portion
of the right/bottom extension filled by zeros, which misleads
motion search and degrades transform coding performance when large
block size is used.
This fix improves the speed 2 compression performance of a few
yt sequence, typically ranging from 1% - 2%, up to 5% at median
to low bit-rate.
