This function now has an AVX intrinsics version which is about 80%
faster compared to the C implementation. This provides a 2-4% total
speed-up for encode, depending on encoding parameters. The function
utilizes 3 properties of the cost function lookup table, constructed
in 'cal_nmvjointsadcost' and 'cal_nmvsadcosts'.
For the joint cost:
- mvjointsadcost[1] == mvjointsadcost[2] == mvjointsadcost[3]
For the component costs:
- For all i: mvsadcost[0][i] == mvsadcost[1][i]
(equal per component cost)
- For all i: mvsadcost[0][i] == mvsadcost[0][-i]
(Cost function is even)
These must hold, otherwise the AVX version of the function cannot be used.

Bug relating to issue:- http://b/25090786
base_frame_target is supposed to track the idealized bit
allocation based on error score and not the actual bits
allocated to each frame.
The clamping of this value based on the VBR min and max pct values
was causing a bug where in some cases the loop that adjusts the
active max quantizer for each GF group was running out of bits at
the end of a KF group. This caused a spike in Q and some ugly artifacts.
A second change makes sure that the calculation of the active
Q range for a group DOES, however, take account of clamping.

A new version of vp9_highbd_error_8bit is now available which is
optimized with AVX assembly. AVX itself does not buy us too much, but
the non-destructive 3 operand format encoding of the 128bit SSEn integer
instructions helps to eliminate move instructions. The Sandy Bridge
micro-architecture cannot eliminate move instructions in the processor
front end, so AVX will help on these machines.
Further 2 optimizations are applied:
1. The common case of computing block error on 4x4 blocks is optimized
as a special case.
2. All arithmetic is speculatively done on 32 bits only. At the end of
the loop, the code detects if overflow might have happened and if so,
the whole computation is re-executed using higher precision arithmetic.
This case however is extremely rare in real use, so we can achieve a
large net gain here.
The optimizations rely on the fact that the coefficients are in the
range [-(2^15-1), 2^15-1], and that the quantized coefficients always
have the same sign as the input coefficients (in the worst case they are
0). These are the same assumptions that the old SSE2 assembly code for
the non high bitdepth configuration relied on. The unit tests have been
updated to take this constraint into consideration when generating test
input data.

Added optimization of the 8 bit assembly quantizer routines. This makes
these functions up to 100% faster, depending on encoding parameters.
This patch maskes the encoder faster in both the high bitdepth and 8bit
configurations. In the high bitdepth configuration, it effects profile 0
only.
Based on my profiling using 1080p input the net gain is between 1-3% for
the 8 bit config, and around 2.5-4.5% for the high bitdepth config,
depending on target bitrate. The difference between the 8 bit and high
bitdepth configurations for the same encoder run is reduced by 1% in all
cases I have profiled.

Adjust the qp threshold and consec_zeromv threshold for

when the limit amount is significant, and some code-cleanup.
Small gain in PSNR/SSIM metrics: ~0.25/0.3 gain on RTC set, speed 7.
Change only affects non-screen content.

Changes to the breakout behavior for partition selection.
The biggest impact is on speed 0 where encode speed in
some cases more than doubles with typically less than 1%
impact on quality.

If high bit depth configuration is enabled, but encoding in profile 0,
the code now falls back on optimized SSE2 assembler to compute the
block errors, similar to when high bit depth is not enabled.

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.
