Updates the vp9_pattern_search function to return integer one-away
neighbors' sad values, for subsequent use in speeding up the
sub-pel search. Also, removes code for the do_refine option
which is not being used currently.
Updates the integer and subpel functions to pass in a 5-element
sad list for output or input.
A new pruned sub-pel search algorithm is implemented that uses
the sad returned from the integer pel search. But it is not
deployed yet.

* Replace max_step_search_steps with constant MAX_MVSEARCH_STEPS
* Fold (reduce_first_step_size + speed > 5) into reduce_first_step_size
replacing uses of reduce_first_step_size that don't add the speed
check with zero.

vp9_rdopt is for making rd optimal mode decisions. vp9_rd is for all
other rd related routines. Anything used outside of making an rd optimal
decision belongs in rd.

As a side-effect, the sad unit tests for VP8 and VP9
had to be separated.
Fixes a bug in original patch:
(https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/#/c/70163/8)
that was reverted due to a nightly test failure.

As a side-effect, the max_sad check is removed from the
C-implementation of VP8, for consistency with VP9, and to
ensure that the SAD tests common to VP8/VP9 pass.
That will make the VP8 C implementation of sad a little slower
but given that is rarely used in practice, the impact will be
minimal.

Various cleanups and refactoring.
Removes feedback of active worst qaulity and uses last_q
instead to make the interface cleaner. Active worst quality
is now decided only once for a frame being coded in the
beginning based on last_q and other stats. Also, adds other
cleaups on last_q to store also the last_q for altref frames,
and reduces the altref interval a little.
The output does change a little.
derfraw300: +0.224% (global psnr)
stdhdraw250: +0.442% (global psnr)

Moves all rate control variables to a separate structure,
removes some currently unused variables,
moves some rate control functions to vp9_ratectrl.c,
and splits the encode_frame_to_data_rate function.

Making this change in order to move allow_high_precision_mv field
from MACROBLOCKD structure to VP9_COMMON (because it is a frame level
flag).

The only case where they were intentionally pointing to different
structures was in mbgraph, and this didn't have the expected behavior
because both of these pointers are used interchangeably through the code

Both first pass and mbgraph search use block size 16x16 for motion
estimation. This commit put a limit of motion vector range. The
effective range allows the entire 16x16 with required subpel
interpolation input to be completely outside image border, but
not any further away from image border.

mode_info_context was stored as a grid of MODE_INFO structs.
The grid now constists of pointers to MODE_INFO structs. The
MODE_INFO structs are now stored as a stream (decoder only),
eliminating unnecessary copies and is a little more cache
friendly.

mode_info_context was stored as a grid of MODE_INFO structs.
The grid now constists of a pointer to a MODE_INFO struct and
a "in the image" flag. The MODE_INFO structs are now stored
as a stream, eliminating unnecessary copies and is a little
more cache friendly.
For the test clips used, the decoder performance improved
by ~4.3% (1080p) and ~9.7% (720p).
Patch Set 2: Re-encoded clips with latest. Now ~1.7% (1080p)
and 5.9% (720p).

Removes some unused code and speed features, and organizes the
interfaces for fractional mv step functions for use in new speed
features to come.
In the process a new speed feature - number of iterations per
step during the subpel search - is exposed.
No change when this parameter is set as the original value of 3.
Results:
subpel_iters_per_step = 3: baseline
subpel_iters_per_step = 2: psnr -0.067%, 1% speedup
subpel_iters_per_step = 1: psnr -0.331%, 3-4% speedup

Adds a few pattern searches to achieve various tradeoffs
between motion estimation complexity and performance.
The search framework is unified across these searches so that a
common pattern search function is used for all. Besides it will
be easier to experiment with various patterns or combinations
thereof at different scales in the future.
The new pattern search is multi-scale and is capable of using
different patterns at different scales.
The new hex search uses 8 points at the smallest scale
and 6 points at other scales.
Two other pattern searches - big-diamond and square are
also added. Big diamond uses 4 points at the smallest scale and
8 points in diamond shape at the larger scales.
Square is very similar conceptually to the default n-step search
but is somewhat faster since it keeps only one survivor across
all scales.
Psnr/speed-up results on derf300:
hex: -1.6% psnr%, 6-8% speed-up
big-diamond: -0.96% psnr, 4-5% speedup
square: -0.93% psnr, 4-5% speedup
