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.

The row mt sync read uses sync_range = 1, and wouldn't work if we want
to use a sync_range that is greater than 1. To make it work, this sync
read code is modified. Pass in col instead of col - 1 to make it
consistent with other row mt code in VP9, and then add 1 in "while"
codition.

Issue/bug happens for denoising with spatial layers, where
the golden (spatial) reference is used in pickmode, but
denoising is only done wrt to last (temporal).
Fix is to make sure set_ref_ptrs is set before build predictors
in denoiser.

The sum of tx bloxk eobs is needed in the machine learning based partition
early termination. The eobs are first accumulated during tx search, and
then the value associated with the best tx_size is copied to ctx for later
use.
After the sum of eobs are calculated correctly, re-enabled
ml_partition_search_early_termination speed feature.
Re-did the quality/speed test to check the impact of the fix.

new_mt is a very generic name that will get obsolete soon enough.

vp9_highbd_block_error_8bit_c was a very simple wrapper around
vp9_block_error_c. The SSE2 implemention was practically identical to
the non-HBD one. It was missing some minor improvements which only
went into the original version.
In quick speed tests, the AVX implementation showed minimal
improvement over SSE2 when it does not detect overflow. However, when
overflow is detected the function is run a second time. The
OperationCheck test seems to trigger this case and reverses any
speed benefits by running ~60% slower. AVX2 on the other hand is
always 30-40% faster.

Use the simple block_yrd under certain conditions.
The optimization code is completed but the speed is still slower
(~6% on 720p) than the low-bitdepth build.
For now, use the more complex block_yrd under certain conditions
(always use it for speed <= 5, otherwise use it on key frames and for
bsize >= 32x32).
This gives about ~2-3% gain in quality for speed 7 on RTC set
(over high bitdepth build), with about the same encoder fps as the
low bitdepth build.
