1. remove duplicate initialization to mbmi->interp_filter.
2. move mv clamping into ref_frame loop instead of mode checking loop.
3. move the check if last frame is same as golden frame earlier to
avoid initialization of Golden reference related variables.

The compression performance of speed -5 is on average 12.6% better
than speed -6. At lower bit-rates, the gains are typically 20% or
more. For 2-thread encoding, the speed -5 takes about 1.6x time of
speed -6.

Crash occured on very first key frame, because denoiser
temporal function was beng entered.
Updated denoiser unittest to set cpu_used from first frame,
and verified fix fixes the crash.

This commit uses a 6-point 1-step refine motion search in the
integral projection based full pixel motion estimation, to replace
the current 9-point search.
It reduces runtime cost of speed -6 on some noisy clips, e.g.,
dark720p single thread
33314 b/f, 40.076 dB, 18231 ms ->
33307 b/f, 40.067 dB, 17768 ms
The compression performance for rtc set remains unchanged.

This commit changes to use single loop to evaluate all inter modes.
There is no impact on compression quality and speed, but allow future
experiment with the order of modes evaluated.

Added a skip_dc check. If skip_dc = 1, we could eliminate calling
of vp9_model_rd_from_var_lapndz(). This gave slight PSNR & SSIM
gain(<0.1%), and no speed change.

Re-arrange the multiplication and right shift operations to avoid
integer overflow in choose_partitioning.

This commit removes the pred_mv_sad comparison from rtc motion
search, given that a stronger comparison has been done at the
mode search level to eliminate unlikely selected reference frames.

This commit enables the rtc coding mode to run integral projection
based motion search for golden reference frame. It improves the
speed -6 compression performance by 1.1% on average, 3.46% for
jimred_vga, 6.46% for tacomascmvvga, and 0.5% for vidyo clips. The
speed -6 is about 6% slower.

Make the vp9_int_pro_motion_estimation() function return zero
motion vector if high bit depth is turned on, instead of removing
it from compiled codes.

This patch accounts in the first pass stats for blocks that
while not coded as intra, are complex and have an intra error /
best error ratio below a threshold.
The modification shortens the GF arf interval for a particular
class of content that contains a lot of blocks matching the
above criteria. (In one short problem test sequence the average
interval dropped from about 14-15 to 10-11)
The change results in small net gains in metrics results for the
Yt(~0.2%) and yt-hd (~0.5%) sets and is approximately neutral
for the other test sets.
The change is currently shielded by a flag and off by default
pending verification that it does not cause other regressions
in tests on a wider YT test set.

Only update the rd_thresh factors for modes sharing same reference
frame. This helps overall compression of 6 and 7 by .13% and .19%
respectively without any noticeable speed difference.

For non-SVC 1 pass CBR: make the GF update interval a multiple of the
cyclic refresh period, and use encoding stats to prevent GF update at certain times.

The return value from vp9_compute_qdelta_by_rate, which is
a delta value for the quantizer, could never be 0 if
(qindex == rc->worst_quality).
This occurs because target_index was setup unconditionally
in the loop and yet the loop counter stopped at
(rc->worst_quality - 1).

Choose_partition uses only the last frame as reference frame in making
partition decision, this commit adds the check on how well Golden
frame with (0,0) predicts the current block, and uses GF(0,0) as
basis for partition decision if it produces better prediction.
The commit improves rtc speed 6 and 7 encoding by 0.14% and 0.19%
respectively.

When golden reference frame is refreshed, the next frame has both
its last and golden reference frames point to the same reference
frame in real-time coding mode. Experiments suggest that using
two separate reference frames for frames right after golden refresh
frame does not provide further compression performance advantage.
This commit hence retains the current encoder implementation and
shuts off the mode search over golden reference frame in this case.
It makes the encoder run slightly faster at no coding performance
change.
