This commit refactors the choose_partitioning function. It removes
redundant memset calls and makes the encoder to calculate
variance value per block only when it is needed. It reduces the
average runtime cost of choose_partitioning by 60%. Overall it
reduces speed -6 runtime by 2-5%.

Replace error_resilient flag with use_prev_frame_mvs in
vp9_pick_inter_mode reference motion vector search selection.
This effectively turns off the simplified ref mv search in the
settings of frame resizing, even if error-resilient mode is off.

Update the frame motion vector only if previous frame motion vector
is needed for next frame reference motion vector.

The warning only happens in VP9 encoder's first pass due to src_mi
is not set up yet. But it will not fail the encoder as left_mi and
above_mi are not used in the first_pass and they will be set up again
in the second pass.

This allows us to track decode speed for new encodes so that we catch
problems like an encode change that makes decode really slow.

This commit enables the use of sub8x8 blocks in RTC key frame
encoding. It requires the block size to be preset and will decide
the coding mode and encode the bit-stream.

Rename set_modeinfo_offsets as set_mode_info_offsets, to be more
consistent with naming convention.

The later encoding process will take the top-left block's
mode_info for pre-determined block size.

The restructure moves the decision into the rd pick
modes loop and makes a decision based at the 16x16
block level instead of only the 64x64 level.
This gives finer granularity and better visual results
on the clips I have tested. Metrics results are worse
than the old AQ2 especially for PSNR and this mode
now falls between AQ0 and AQ1 in terms of visual
impact and metrics results.
Further tuning of this to follow.
It should be noted that if there are multiple iterations
of the recode loop the segment for a MB could change
in each loop if the previous loop causes a change in the
complexity / variance bin of the block. Also where a block
gets a delta Q this will alter the rd multiplier for this block
in subsequent recode iterations and frames where the
segmentation is applied.

The function vp9_filter_block1d16_h8_ssse3 uses the PSHUFB instruction which has a 3 cycle latency and slows execution when done in blocks of 5 or more on Atom processors.
By replacing the PSHUFB instructions with other more efficient single cycle instructions (PUNPCKLBW + PUNPCHBW + PALIGNR) performance can be improved.
In the original code, the PSHUBF uses every byte and is consecutively copied.
This is done more efficiently by PUNPCKLBW and PUNPCHBW, using PALIGNR to concatenate the intermediate result and then shift right the next consecutive 16 bytes for the final result.
For example:
filter = 0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8
Reg = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15
REG1 = PUNPCKLBW Reg, Reg = 0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7
REG2 = PUNPCHBW Reg, Reg = 8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,15,15
PALIGNR REG2, REG1, 1 = 0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8
This optimization improved the function performance by 23% and produced a 3% user level gain on 1080p content on Atom processors.
There was no observed performance impact on Core processors (expected).

Adds decoder config as a changeable parameter to unit tests, and
changes end to end test to use commonly used parameters to enable
base test of tiles encoding and frame parallel decoding.
