Add condition that usable_ref_frame > LAST.
This is to avoid potentially skipping all last-nonzero mv modes,
if golden is used as a reference but skipped completely for the
current block.
This has no effect currenty, as we always consider testing golden
mode for each block.

For 1 pass vbr real-time mode:
Allow for the usage of alt-ref frame when non-zero lag-in-frames is used.
Use non-filtered alt-ref, and select usage based on fast scene/content
analysis/detection within the lag of frames.
Positive gains on ytlive set: overall avgPSNR ~3-4%.
Several clips are up between 5-14%, a few clips are neutral/small change.
Current speed decrease is about ~5-10%.
Use the flag USE_ALTREF_FOR_ONE_PASS to enable this feature
(off by default for now).

Added casts to remove warnings:
BUG=webm:1274
In regards to the safety of these casts they are of two types:-
- Normalized bits per (16x16) MB stored in a 32 bit int (This is safe as bits
per MB even with << 9 normalization cant overflow 32 bits. Even raw 12
bits hdr source even would only be 29 bits :- (4+4+12+9) and the encoder
imposes much stricter limits than this on max bit rate.
- Cast as part of variance calculations. There is an internal cast up to 64 bit
for the Sum X Sum calculation, but after normalization dividing by the number
of points the result will always be <= the SSE value.

Add option, for newmv-last, to limit the rd-threshold update for early exit,
under a source varianace condition.
This can improve visual quality in low texture moving areas,
like forehead/faces.
Also add bias against golden to improve the speed/fps,
will little/negligible loss in quality.
Only affects CBR mode, non-svc, non-screen-content.

The transform block row and column positions are always available
outside the callees. There is no need to re-compute these values
again. This approach has been used by the decoder. This commit
removes txfrm_block_to_raster_xy() function.

For real time CBR mode, use model_rd_for_sb_y for 32x32 if the mode is
newmv last, which is less aggressive in skipping transform and
quantization, to avoid quality regression in some conditions.

For real-time CBR mode, use model_rd_for_sb_y_large instead of
model_rd_for_sb_y for 32x32 block. In the former model, transform
might be skipped more aggressively in some condtions, which speeds
up encoding time with only a little PSNR/SSIM drop on rtc test set.
No obvious visual quality regression.
PSNR effect on different speed settings:

In vp9_pick_inter_mode(), instead of using
vp9_get_pred_context_switchable_interp(xd) to assign filter_ref,
we use a less strict condition on assigning filter_ref.
This is to reduce the probabily of entering the flow of not
assigning filter_ref and then skipping filter search.

For VBR: (1) allow newmv mode for golden ref to
select interpolation filter (as in last ref case), and
(2) don't use the more aggressive tx-skip testing logic for large blocks.
Only affects 1 pass real-time vbr mode (speed >= 5).
PSNR/SSIM metrics on ytlive set are all positive, ~0.5-2% gain.

1. Skip golden non-zeromv and newmv-last for bsize >= 16x16 if the
temporal variance obtained from choose_partitioning is very low.
2. Skip horz and vert INTRA mode for speed 8.
This change works best on the clips with little noise and with some
motion (e.g. gips_motion which has > 5% speed up). PSNR drop is 1.78%
on rtc test set, no obvious visual quality regression found.

Skip intra-mode and some inter-modes (newmv, nearmv, nearestmv) for
golden frame if the variance got from choose_partitioning is very low.
Only for 1 pass real-time CBR mode and bsize >= 32x32, it has ~2.5%
speed up with less than 0.1% PSNR drop for rtc test set. Don't see
visual regression.

For non-rd pickmode:
best_pred_sad, computed for NEWMV-last, is only used for
skipping golden non-zero modes. Add condition to avoid this
computation if not used (i.e, if golden nonzero modes are not used).
And remove code for computing best_pred_sad for NEWMV-golden,
since that sad is not used.
No change in behavior; small speed gain (~1%) for svc encodes.
