Optimizing the variance functions: vp9_variance16x16, vp9_variance32x32,
vp9_variance64x64, vp9_variance32x16, vp9_variance64x32,
vp9_mse16x16 by migrating to AVX2
some of the functions were optimized by processing 32 elements instead of 16.
some of the functions were optimized by processing 2 loop strides of 16
elements in a single 256 bit register
This optimization gives between 2.4% - 2.7% user level performance gain
and 42% function level gain.

Fix miss alignment of the frames contributing to the
error score and bit allocation for gf/arf groups.
Initial results slightly +.

Some cleanups on frames_to_key, frames_since_key.
Also removes the unused fixed_q parameters in vp9.

The previous implementation stops motion vector prediction test when
the zero motion vector appears for the second time. This commit fixes
it by simply skipping the second time check on zero mv and continuing
on to next mv candidate.
It slightly improves stdhd in speed 2 by 0.06% on average. Most static
sequences are not affected. A few hard ones, like jet, ped, and riverbed
were improved by 0.1 - 0.2%.

also:
o remove dead code, create_dummy_frame
o Fix a bug in command line handling that caused a segfault if wrong
number of arguments were given.

The feature undergoes prior assumption that the recursive partition
size search from 4x4 to 64x64, hence utilizing information from small
blocks to determine early termination in large block rate-distortion
optimization search. The current codebase is now going from top down.
The previous function might go with not properly initialized values,
hence removed.
Tested on pedestrian_area_1080p at 4000 kbps running under speed 2.
No visible difference in runtime observed.

This patch sets frame types correctly in the new
vp9_get_second_pass_params() function called prior
to encode_frame_to_data_rate() function, so that the
latter function can just work with what is passed to
it. This will allow multiple vp9_get_second_pass_params()
to be created for various encode strategies without
messing with the core encode function.
There is no difference in derf and yt. stdhd/hd are pending.
