non-RD coding mode and saves a few RDCOST calculations.

Its functionality has been replaced with choose_partitioning and
threshold based control on split mode check.

This speed feature has been deprecated in both yt and rtc coding
modes. This commit removes the related operations.

This commit re-designs the recursive partition search scheme in
rtc speed -5. It first checks if the current block is under cyclic
refresh mode. If so, apply recursive partition search. Otherwise,
perform sub-sampled pixel based partition selection. When the
pre-selection finds the partition size should be 32x32 or above,
use the partition size directly. Otherwise, apply partition search
at nearby levels around the preset partition size.
It is enabled in speed -5. The compression performance of rtc
speed -5 is improved by 9.4%. Speed wise, the run-time goes slower
from 1% to 10%.

Currently, the tokens for a tile are stored immediately after its
preceding tile, which causes a dependency. This is unnecessary
since we always allocate enough memory for tokens. Removing
the dependency allows token writing done in parallel. This patch
doesn't change encoding result.

Compare the estimated rate and distortion to the thresholds scaled
according to the operating block size and determine if further
split partition search will be run. The compression performance of
speed -5 is changed by -0.074%. The encoding speed is 10% - 15%
faster.

Reduce the intra_cost_penalty for non-rd mode,
and some updates to VAR_BASED_PARTITION.
Visual tests show some improvement at Speed 6, for RTC clips.

This commit replaces the use of copy_partitioning with
choose_partitioning based on the sse of subsamped pixels, which
provides significantly better coding performance and runs at
similar speed, as compared to copy_partitioning. It improves rtc
speed 5 coding performance by 3%.

This commit makes a struct that contains rate value, distortion
value, and the rate-distortion cost. The goal is to provide a
better interface for rate-distortion related operation. It is
first used in rd_pick_partition and saves a few RDCOST calculations.

The concept:
There's too much noise in source pixels for variance and at low bitrate
the reconstructed looks nothing like the source so we have problems
getting good partitionings with either. This skirts the issue by using
a box blur scaled down version for variance calculations. To compare
against source_var_ moved keyframe to be rd based like source_var.

The functions b_width_log2 and b_height_log2 only do direct
table fetch. This commit unifies such use cases by using the
table directly and removes these functions.

This commit adds proper initialization of segment id for variance AQ
mode in non-rd coding path. It fixes the enc/dec mismatch issue of
rt=7 with --aq-mode=1, as reported in issue #816

This commit enables the encoder to skip split partition search if
the bigger block size has all non-zero quantized coefficients in low
frequency area and the total rate cost is below a certain threshold.
It logarithmatically scales the rate threshold according to the
current block size. For speed 3, the compression performance loss:
derf -0.093%
stdhd -0.066%
Local experiments show 4% - 20% encoding speed-up for speed 3.

This patch re-enabled the feature in Pengchong's patch
(commit 1286126073). Originally, it
was turned on while use_lastframe_partitioning > 0(not used anymore).
Now it was added as a feature, and turned on while speed >= 2.
As described in the original patch, this feature helps speed up the
slideshows in YouTube.
Change-Id: I1b0f18d65da1ee1c8d1e117dabba910c5207c471
Simplified the code and removed some code that was not used anymore.
This patch didn't change encoding result.

mi_grid_* are arrays of pointer to pointer. They save the pointers that point
to the MIs in cm->mi. But they are unnecessary and complicated. The original
goal was to remove MODE_INFO_t copy. But with an extra MODE_INFO_t pointer
inside MODE_INFO_t, same goal could be achieved.
This commit totally removes the mi_grid_* structures. But there are still
many dummy MODE_INFO_t inside cm->mi which are a waste of memory. Next commit
will do on-demand MODE_INFO_t allocation in order to save these memories.
