In the rare case were 4x4 interior filtering was called for but no
8x8 or larger filtering takes place, the previous code was skipping
the filtering. This patch fixes the issue by including the interior
mask in the overall mask for the filter application loops.

The resulting reconstruction is never used, thus it just wastes CPU
cycles. Reduces encode time of first 50 frames of bus (speed 0) @
1500kbps from 2min2.0 to 2min1.2, i.e. a 0.65% overall speedup.

Encode time for first 50 frames of bus (speed 0) @ 1500kbps goes from
2min10.9 to 2min10.5, i.e. 0.3% faster overall, basically because we
prevent the call overhead.

Changes cost_mv_ref() into doing a LUT into pre-calculated cost

Overall, on all test sets, this gains about +0.2% on all metrics.
City is a clip where this really hurts (-1.0% on all metrics), I'm
not quite sure why yet. Maybe interesting to look into in the future.

Skips mode searches for intra and compound inter modes depending
on the best mode so far and the reference frames. The various
heuristics to be used are selected by bits from a flag. The
previous direction based intra mode search pruning is also absorbed
in this framework.
Specifically the flags and their impact are:
1) FLAG_SKIP_INTRA_BESTINTER (skip intra mode search for oblique
directional modes and TM_PRED if the best so far is
an inter mode)
derfraw300: -0.15%, 10% speedup
2) FLAG_SKIP_INTRA_DIRMISMATCH (skip D27, D63, D117 and D153
mode search if the best so far is not one of the closest
hor/vert/diagonal directions.
derfraw300: -0.05%, about 9% speedup
3) FLAG_SKIP_COMP_BESTINTRA (skip compound prediction mode
search if the best so far is an intra mode)
derfraw300: -0.06%, about 7-8% speedup
4) FLAG_SKIP_COMP_REFMISMATCH (skip compound prediction search
if the best single ref inter mode does not have the same ref
as one of the two references being tested in the compound mode)
derfraw300: -0.56%, about 10% speedup

This commit allows encoder to detect the cumulative rate-distortion
cost per transformed block inside a partition. If the cumulative
rd cost is already above the best rd value, it terminates the rest
operations and continue to next prediction mode test.
It reduces the runtime of bus at target bit-rate 2000 from 308 second
to 266 second, i.e., about 13% speed-up at no performance penalty.

sf->unused_mode_skip_lvl. Tests modes as normal for all
sizes at or below the given level. At larger sizes it skips
all modes that were not chosen at any smaller size.
Hence setting BLOCK_SIZE_SB64X64 is in effect off.
Setting BLOCK_SIZE_AB4X4 will only consider modes that
were chosen for one or more 4x4 blocks at larger sizes.
sf->reference_masking.
Do a test encode of the NONE partition at one size and create
a reference frame mask based on the best rd choice. In the
full search only allow this reference frame.
Currently it is testing 64x64 and repeats this in the full search.
This does not work well with Jim's Partition code just now and
is disabled by default.

This commit adds a speed feature where only squared partition are
evaluated in partition picking. Enable this feature in cpu-used 2

If none of the 16 coefficients that we quantize per loop iteration
are larger than the zbin, directly skip to the next round of coeffs,
rather than doing a full quantize loop that will eventually result
in 16 zeroes. This incurs a jump cost, but saves a lot of other work.
32x32 quant goes from 1349 -> 1184 cycles. The same approach yielded
no significantly positive results for smaller transforms, so is not
used there (8x8: 103 -> 101 cycles; 16x16: 302 -> 306 cycles).

This speed feature will skip searching the directional intra prediction
modes D63, D117, D27, D153 if the best intra mode so far is not one of
the diagonal, horizontal or vertical directions closest to the respective
directions being tested. In other words, this implements a sort of
binary search in the angular domain.
Speedup: about 9-10%
Results: -0.05% only on derfraw300.

(1) Refines the modeling function and uses that to add some speed
features. Specifically, intead of using a flag use_largest_txfm as
a speed feature, an enum tx_size_search_method is used, of which
two of the types are USE_FULL_RD and USE_LARGESTALL. Two other
new types are added:
USE_LARGESTINTRA (use largest only for intra)
USE_LARGESTINTRA_MODELINTER (use largest for intra, and model for
inter)
(2) Another change is that the framework for deciding transform type
is simplified to use a heuristic count based method rather than
an rd based method using txfm_cache. In practice the new method
is found to work just as well - with derf only -0.01 down.
The new method is more compatible with the new framework where
certain rd costs are based on full rd and certain others are
based on modeled rd or are not computed. In this patch the existing
rd based method is still kept for use in the USE_FULL_RD mode.
In the other modes, the count based method is used.
However the recommendation is to remove it eventually since the
benefit is limited, and will remove a lot of complications in
the code
(3) Finally a bug is fixed with the existing use_largest_txfm speed feature
that causes mismatches when the lossless mode and 4x4 WH transform is
forced.
Results on derf:
USE_FULL_RD: +0.03% (due to change in the tables), 0% encode time reduction
USE_LARGESTINTRA: -0.21%, 15% encode time reduction (this one is a
pretty good compromise)
USE_LARGESTINTRA_MODELINTER: -0.98%, 22% encode time reduction
(currently the benefit of modeling is limited for txfm size selection,
but keeping this enum as a placeholder) .
USE_LARGESTALL: -1.05%, 27% encode-time reduction (same as existing
use_largest_txfm speed feature).

Added a speed feature in speed 1 to disable splitmv for HD (>=720)
clips. Test result on stdhd set: 0.3% psnr loss and 0.07% ssim
loss. Encoding speedup is 36%.
(For reference: The test result on derf set showed 2% psnr loss
and 1.6% ssim loss. Encoding speedup is 34%. SPLITMV should be
enabled for small resolution videos.)
