The rd_thresholds are adaptively changed based on best mode tested.
It was only changed for the same block size, this commit makes the
adaptation for similar block sizes too. The commit also made minor
adjustment and code cleanups.
The impact on encoding time for _ped:
118089 ms -> 111927 ms
The impact on compression:
derf: -0.339%
stdhd: -0.303%

Adds code to return an integer cost list for NSTEP search. Then
uses it for pruned subpel search in speed 3.
derf: -0.06%
Speed on mobcal 720p increaes from 10.28 fps to 10.65 fps.
[Subject to further testing].

mi_grid_* are arrays of pointer to pointer. They save the pointers that point
to the MIs in cm->mi. But they are unnecessary and complicated. The original
goal was to remove MODE_INFO_t copy. But with an extra MODE_INFO_t pointer
inside MODE_INFO_t, same goal could be achieved.
This commit totally removes the mi_grid_* structures. But there are still
many dummy MODE_INFO_t inside cm->mi which are a waste of memory. Next commit
will do on-demand MODE_INFO_t allocation in order to save these memories.

vpx_svc_parameters_t contains id, resolution and min/max qp for each spatial layer.
In this change we will use extra config to send min/max qp and scaling factors, then calculate layer resolution inside encoder.

Substantial restructuring of the way we estimate
the rate of decay in prediction quality and determine
the arf interval and amount of boost used.
Also other changes to support moving to a lower first pass
Q which exposes some new features and allows us to better
distinguish genuinely static blocks from low motion or noisy
blocks.
Net gains now visible on all the test sets with std-hd PSNR up
1.87%. There are still some bad outlier cases but most of these
are low motion or slide show type content where the metrics
are already high at any given rate. The best + case is up by
more than 10%.

This commit adds back sse2 or ssse3 optimized versio of a couple of
functions, fixes a ~10% performance regression.

The ARF frame should always be the same size as the
native resolution of the input frames.
It will be scaled to the required resolution at
encode time.

This commit makes the encoder to use non-zero mode threshold for
NEARESTMV modes. The runtime for test clips of speed 3 is reduced
by about 1%.
pedestrian 1080p 2000 kbps, 143239 ms -> 141989 ms
bus CIF 1000 kbps, 7835 ms -> 7749 ms
The compression performance change is about -0.02% for both derf
and stdhd.

If the partition block is skippable, which means no coefficients
for Y, U, and V planes, its skip flag is set to 1. No quality
change (verified by borg tests), and no noticeable speed change.
