Reduce motion threshold and boost factor for second segment,
for low bitrates, at low resolutions for now.
This is to reduce the rate fluctuation/frame dropping that occurs
at these low bitrates.

Some initial experiments into discounting dead zone
formating bars and intra skip blocks (common in some
types of animation and graphics) in the calculation of
the active max Q for each ARF/GF group.
TODO: check for vertical formating bars and validate the
horizontal bar at the bottom edge of the image.
As expected, this change as it stands, does not make much
difference for the natural videos in the std-hd and derf sets.
However, for the yt and yt hd set there is a significant rise
in the average PSNR with overall PSNR and SSIM remaining
neutral.
The mean rise for the YT-HD test set was > 6%. This is mainly
because the change allows Q to drop further on titles and
other graphics sections where spending a small number of
extra bits gives a sharp rise in PSNR.

For content that is identified as likely to contain some
animation or graphics content, increase the availability
of split modes for good quality speeds 1-3.
On a problem test animation clip this improves metrics
results by about 0.25 db and makes a noticeable difference
visually. It also causes a small drop in file size (~0.5%) but
a rise in encode time of about 5-6% at speed 2.
For more normal content it should have no effect.

Added check to see if last frame was all intra. This will
eliminate two checks in find_mv_refs_idx(). Also, do not
update the frame mvs if the current frame is all intra.
This improved performance on material with frequent
intra-only frames.

This control allows the application to skip the loop filter in the
decoder. This is an advanced control that should only be used in
extreme circumstances as it may introduce and accumulate decode
artifacts.

calculate the averages needed for even and odd rows once; this removes a
conditional from the inner loop
the final average calculated currently relies on above[] being extended,
it could be reduced to use
above[block_size - 2] + 3 * above[block_size - 1]

The only difference between the two was that the vp9 function allowed
for every step in the bilinear filter (16 steps) while vp8 only allowed
for half of those. Since all the call sites in vp9 (<< 1) the input, it
only ever used the same steps as vp8.
This will allow moving the subpel variance to vpx_dsp with the rest of
the variance functions.

Adds code to detect dead zone bars at the top and bottom
of reformatted letterbox video (note that the code only
looks at the top of the image and assumes any dead zone
is symmetrical). Use of this to adapt rate control etc.
will follow in a subsequent patch.
Also counts other blocks (excluding the dead zone) that
have no intra signal. The presence of a significant
number of such blocks can be used as a identify that the frame
may be artificial (e.g. animation, screen capture, graphics).
This patch contains plumbing only and does not use
the signal.
