The intra mode rd penalty was implemented as a rate penalty.
Code was added to scale the penalty according to block size but
this was not done correctly for the SB level or sub 8x8.
The code did a weird double scaling in regard to bit depth that
has been removed. Given that it is a rate penalty the bit depth
should not matter.
This bug fix improves average metrics on our standard test
sets by about 0.1%

When the superblock partition is based on the nonrd-pickmode,
we need to avoid the denoising. Current condition was based on
the speed level. This change is to make the condition at the
superblock level, as the switch in partitioning may be done at
sb level based on source_sad (e.g., in speed 6).

For SVC 1 pass non-rd pickmode, the interpolation filter for the
upsampling of the golden (spatial) reference was not being explicitly
set and instead was takin gwhatever value was set in the previous

Fix it to the default EIGHTTAP for now, to be updated/selected

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.

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.

Move the condition for effectively disabling the denoising
for speed 5 into the vp9_denoiser_denoise().
This is cleaner, and also moving the condition into vp9_denoiser_denoise
will keep the denoiser buffer updated with the current source.
This allows for more consistent behavior if speed is changed midstream.
Change-Id: Ia001f591c56e454bf724c3ae73c024badb183ef8
Temporal denoiser runs in non-rd pickmode, so it is only used
for speed >= 5. Regression exists for speed 5, due to use of
reference_partition (which use non-rd pickmode for partitioning).
Avoid denoising for now at speed 5.
