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.

This change subtracts out low complexity intra regions that are also low
error in the inter domain, in the calculation of the frame prediction decay.
The rationale here his that low complexity regions (such as sky) do not imply
high prediction decay in the same way as high error intra or neutral blocks.
The effect of this is small in most clips but in a few clips it can be > 10%.

This small change replaces the frame boost check in the arf group
length break out clause with a test against a prediction decay value.
The boost value is in fact partly dependent on the decay value but
this change means that the per frame boost calculation can be adjusted
without influencing the group length calculation.
The value chosen gives a close match on all the test sets with the previous
code (on average) but it was noted that a lower threshold was slightly better
for 1080P and up and a slightly higher value for small image sizes.

The function scale_sse_threshold() returns a threshold scaled
if necessary for use with 10 and 12 bit from an 8 bit baseline.

While the new-mt mode is enabled(namely, allowing to use row-based
multi-threading in encoder), several speed features that adaptively
adjust encoding parameters during encoding would cause mismatch

features, so that the bit match bitstream is obtained in the unit

VBR method that allows a wider Q range for the first normal frame
in each ARF group and then centers the min - max range for the rest of
the arf group on the chosen Q value for that first frame.
This allows for quite rapid adjustment of the active Q range even if the
initial estimate is poor.
In some cases where the ARF frames themselves are tending to
undershoot but the normal frames are overshooting this can still give
net undershoot. This can be corrected by allowing a larger Q delta for
arf frames but is usually is a sign that the allocation to the arfs was to
high.
