The artifact occurs periodically when VP9 denoiser is on and
refresh_golden_frame happen. When refresh_golden_frame happen,
we should copy the frame buffer instead of swapping the pointers.

Use the existing VP9_SET_SVC control to set the
first spatial layer to encode.
Since we loop over all spatial layers inside the encoder, the
setting of spatial_layer_id via VP9_SET_SVC has no relevance.
Use it instead to set the first_spatial_layer_to_encode,
which allows an application to skip encoding lower layer(s).
Change only affects the 1 pass CBR SVC.

For screen-content mode, with frame dropper off, put a limit
on how low encoder buffer can go.
Under hard slide changes, the buffer level can go too low and then
take long time to come back up (in particular when frame-dropping
is not used), which will affect the active_worst and target frame size.

Dynamic resizing now support two-steps scaling: first go down to

The loopfilter masks are now built in the decode loop.

In the decoder, map this to the output variable vpx_image_t.r_w/h.
This is intended as an improved version of VP9D_GET_DISPLAY_SIZE,
which doesn't work with parallel frame decoding. In the encoder,
map this to a codec control func (VP9E_SET_RENDER_SIZE) that takes
a w/h pair argument in a int[2] (identical to VP9D_GET_DISPLAY_SIZE).
Also add render_size to the encoder_param_get_to_decoder unit test.

The name "display_*" (or "d_*") is used for non-compatible information
(that is, the cropped frame dimensions in pixels, as opposed to the
intended screen rendering surface size). Therefore, continuing to use
display_* would be confusing to end users. Instead, rename the field
to render_*, so that struct vpx_image can include it.

Use the existing QP condition on limiting cyclic refresh, and add
addiitonal condition that block has been encoded with zero/small motion
x frames in row (where x is at least several times the refresh period).
Additional condition only affect non-screen content mode.
This helps to improve visual stability for noisy input, where on steady
background areas the application of delta_qp may lead to encoding the noise.
Also added a change to use the true skip (after encoding) to update the

If the encoder dynamic resize is triggered and change config()
is then called, it will reset the current (resized) codec width/height
back to the the config (unresized) width/height (which will then
prevent the resizing action from occurring in encoder_loop).
Avoid this by checking for a change in the config width/height
before resetting the cm->width/height.

if ext_refresh_frame_flags_pending is not set (i.e., == 0).

This is to prevent changing refresh_golden flga when the user

1. The RD scores obtained during the tx size selection were stored in the
tx cache, and used to help make the tx decision for the following frames.
This wasn't used anymore in VP9 encoder. Recovered the related decision
making code from 1.5+ years ago, and borg tests didn't show any quality
gain. This patch removed it to lower the complexity.
2. An optimization was done after the above refactoring. If the tx_mode
is not TX_MODE_SELECT, we only need to test the chosen tx size instead
of all posible tx sizes. This gave a 1.5% average speed gain at speed 2,
and a 1% average speed gain at speed 3.

Also adds a unit-test to test enforcement of min-gf-interval.
For both these parameters the default value is 0, which indicates
they are picked by the encoder, based on resolution and framerate
considerations. If they are greater than zero, the specified
parameter is honored.
(Additional note by paulwilkins)
Note that there is a slight oddity in that key frames are also GFs and
considered part of GF only group. However they are treated as not
being part of an arf group because for arf groups the previous GF is
assumed to be the terminal or overlay frame for the previous group.
