Flipping arf on and off too often is hurting some clips.
This change makes no difference for 50-75% of our test
clips but helps some by a big margin. (eg. std-hd crew
by 6% and one of the YT and YT-hd clips by 14%)
Average improvements for 2 pass, speed 2 (psnr,ssim)
are as follows:-
derf 0.165%, 0.210%
yt 1.210%, 1.464%
yt-hd 1.189%, 1.471%
std-hd 1.031%, 0.886%

This function initializes the predictor buffer pointers and
calculates reference motion vectors. It is only needed in the settings
of inter frame coding. Hence removing it from the key frame coding
branch in rtc_use_partition.

This function is deprecated after the re-design of partition search
that runs big block size, then four-way split, followed by
rectangular block sizes. This commit removes the related functions.

The function rd_pick_reference_frame can be deprecated. Its use was
subsumed by the adaptive motion search control.

Removes certain cases of feedback of active_worst_quality,
and removes it from the RATE_CONTROL structure. Now active
worst quality is expected to be computed locally in the
q picking function during the encode.
Making temporal filter strength depend on avg_frame_qindex
rather than on active_worst_quality actually improves
performance esp. for yt.
derf: +0.038%
yt: +0.359%

In real time encoding, we enable encode_breakout to make encoding
fast. A speed feature "use_encode_breakout" is defined to set
encode_breakout thresholds for different speeds.
However, currently, static_thresh is an encoder option. The encode_
breakout can be turned off if user sets static_thresh=0 specifically.
The rtc set borg test result: (need to set --static_thresh=1)
speed -5, psnr loss -3.543%;
speed -4, psnr loss -2.358%;
speed -3, psnr loss -0.771%.
Encoding speed test:
speed -5, 11% - 60% speedup;
speed -4, 5.5% - 28% speedup;
speed -3, 0.8% - 7% speedup.
