This patch allocated frame contexts outside VP9_COMMON. This allows
multiple threads to share the same copy of frame contexts, and
reduces the overhead. It also guarantees the correct update of
these contexts during bitstream packing. This patch doesn't change
encoding result.

When early termination is triggered, properly reset the rate cost
to invalid value to avoid potential ioc issue.

This commit fixes an ioc issue that will happen when the cumulative
variables are not in effective use. The fix discards these
redundant additions.

This commit makes a struct that contains rate value, distortion
value, and the rate-distortion cost. The goal is to provide a
better interface for rate-distortion related operation. It is
first used in rd_pick_partition and saves a few RDCOST calculations.

- Some fixes to surface fit.
- Returns variance function as cost rather than sad in the
pattern search and diamond search functions. Only
vp9_pattern_search_sad function used in bigdia search
uses sad as integer 1-away costs.
- Deploys SUBPEL_TREE_PRUNED_MORE for speed 4+.
Results:
derf [Speed 3]: About +0.036% in coding efficiency without any
discernible speed loss.
derf [Speed 4]: About 2-3% faster at -0.199% loss in coding efficiency.
derf [Speed 5]: About 3-4% faster at -0.149% loss in coding efficiency.

In model_rd_for_sb function, the spatial domain SSE and variance
are checked to see if transform coefficients are quantized to 0.
Besides that, this patch adds another set of thresholds that are
much more strict. These thresholds are used to conduct a partition
block level check to measure if all its TX blocks are skippable
for YUV planes. If it is true, x->skip is set for this partition
block, and thus its mode search is terminated.
This speeds up the encoding at very low prediction error case,
such as screen sharing application. This patch covers what
rd_encode_breakout_test() does, so that function is removed.
Borg test at speed 3 shows:
For stdhd set, psnr: +0.008%, ssim: +0.014%;
For derf set, psnr: +0.018%, ssim: +0.025%.
No noticeable speed change.

Fixed an encoder crash. Set skip_txfm to 0 for cases that skip_txfm
isn't calculated. Put memcpy of skip_txfm at right place.

The functions b_width_log2 and b_height_log2 only do direct
table fetch. This commit unifies such use cases by using the
table directly and removes these functions.

It is possible that the GOLDEN reference frame is not avaiable, in
which setting the predicted mv will be associated with a residual
value of INT_MAX. This commit checks this condition before
left shift and comparison with that of ALTREF frame, to avoid
overflow issue.

This commit enables the encoder to skip split partition search if
the bigger block size has all non-zero quantized coefficients in low
frequency area and the total rate cost is below a certain threshold.
It logarithmatically scales the rate threshold according to the
current block size. For speed 3, the compression performance loss:
derf -0.093%
stdhd -0.066%
Local experiments show 4% - 20% encoding speed-up for speed 3.

Miscellaneous bug-fixes for high bitdepth functionality.
With this patch, high bit-depth profiles become mostly functional,
except for an intermittent assert failure issue that is being
tracked.

Block transform skipping was implemented based on DCT's energy
conservation property. Modified the thresholds using zero bin
parameters. AC and DC coefficients were checked separately to
allow better identifying of skippable blocks.
Borg test at speed 3 showed:
stdhd set: psnr gain: 0.153%, ssim gain: 0.051%;
derf set: psnr gain: 0.023%, ssim gain: 0.036%
For most test clips, the encoding speedup is 1% - 2%.
parkrun(720p): 7.5% speedup, park_joy(1080p): 3.5% speedup.

For regular inter frames, if the distance from GOLDEN_FRAME is larger
than 2 and if the predicted motion vector of LAST_FRAME gives lower
sse than that of GOLDEN_FRAME, skip the GOLDE_FRAME mode checking in
the rate-distortion optimization. It provides about 5% speed-up at
expense of -0.137% and -0.230% performance down for speed 3. Local

This commit enables the encoder to skip checking ALTREF inter modes
in ARF coding, if the predicted motion vectors suggest that the
GOLDEN_FRAME provides higher prediction accuracy than ALTREF_FRAME.
It improves the speed 3 encoding speed by about 5%, at the expense
of compression performance loss -0.041% and -0.225% for derf and
stdhd, respectively.
