Fix the setting to frames_till_gf_update_due, and
adjust the limit value.

Only when USE_ALT_REF_ONE_PASS is enabled (off by default).
Force fixed partition to 64x64 when is_src_alt_ref_frame is true,
and don't force early exit for some modes in nonrd_pickmode
for ARF noshow frames.
Small gain ~0.2% on ytlive metrics for speed 6.
Neutral speed difference.

In the new AUTO mode, restrict the minimum alt-ref interval and max column
tiles adaptively based on picture size, while not applying any rate control
constraints.
This mode aims to produce encodings that fit into levels corresponding to
the source picture size, with minimum compression quality lost. However, the
bitstream is not guaranteed to be level compatible, e.g., the average bitrate
may exceed level limit.

Scale 3x3 block instead of 16x16 block in each loop.
Benefits:
1. Reduced number of different phase_scaler from 16 to 3. Optimization code
will be smaller and faster.
2. The maximum phase_scaler drifting will be reduced from 5/16 to 1/24.
(The drifting is 1/(3*16) in each step.)

The intra mode rd penalty was implemented as a rate penalty.
Code was added to scale the penalty according to block size but
this was not done correctly for the SB level or sub 8x8.
The code did a weird double scaling in regard to bit depth that
has been removed. Given that it is a rate penalty the bit depth
should not matter.
This bug fix improves average metrics on our standard test
sets by about 0.1%

Neutral on rtc set for speed 8. Neutral on ytlive for speed 5.
Saves some computation cycles but no speed gain observed on Pixel.

Rev d147771 fixed the test failure. So remove the resolution condition

Enable adapt_partition for vbr mode for speed 6.
This allows the usage of the pickmode-based partition
(used in speed 5), but only selectively for superblocks
with high source sad, otherwise the faster variance based
partition scheme is used.
For speed 6 on ytlive set: avgPSNR/SSIM metrics up by ~0.6%,
several clips up by ~1.5%. Small/negligible decrease in speed.
Change-Id: I12f3efef6b3e059391de330fdbe5a44c2587f1f8
For SVC at speed >= 7: only use the improved mv search
on base spatial layer, if top layer resolution is above 640x360.
~2.3% speedup
Small/negligible loss in avgPSNR metrics on rtc set.
Change-Id: Iaef75a57ebf1c248931bc1aa28d20b7fecac1851
For speeds < 7, increase threshold that controls the split
of 16x16->8x8 blocks, for resolutions 720p and higher.
Minor change for speed 5 (since it uses reference partition scheme
which only uses variance partition as first step).
For speed 6: ~0.5% increase in avgPSNR/SSIM metrics on ytlvie set.
No change in speed.

About 4x faster when values are below the dequant threshold and 10x
faster if everything needs to be calculated.
Both numbers would improve if the division for dqcoeff could be
simplified.

This feature is used for the CBR RTC encoding mode
at speed >= 6. This change will exclude it for VBR mode.
For speed 6 live encoding (VBR):
avgPSNR/SSIM metrics on ytlive set up by ~1% (few clips up by 2/3%).

This should probably be handled before vp9_regular_quantize_b_4x4 even
gets called.
Fixes an assert resulting from removing skip_block from the quantize
functions.
BUG=webm:1459
Change-Id: I7f52b53f959b4654b3d4517ebda31a678f4d0fde
This condition is handled before this code is reached. The ssse3 version
of the function has always crashed when attempting to handle the
skip_block condition.
Add assert() and comments regarding the usage of skip_block.
Removing the parameter is a fairly involved process so leave it be for
the moment.

Despite abs_coeff being a positive value, all the other implementations
treat it as signed which simplifies restoring the sign.
HBD builds cast qcoeff to avoid a visual studio warning. Match
vp9_quantize.c style of casting the entire expression.

Having a very low "lag_in_frames" value could cause the encoder to create
incorrect / corrupt ARF groups including displayed frames that update the
ARF buffer and false overlay frames that are coded at low rate but are not
actually overlays of a real ARF frame.
This is linked to a reported unit test "slow down" where the chosen parameters
(lag of 3 frames) gave rise to such "broken" ARF group(s).

Some clips in nightly unit test exhibiting significant encoder slowdown which
appears to bisect to Change-Id: I692311a709ccdb6003e705103de9d05b59bf840a.
The above change allowed for emergency iterations of the recode loop and
adjustment of the Q range if there is a large rate miss.
This patch disables the above adaptation for cases of cpu_speed >= 3 or more
specifically where cpi->sf.recode_loop >= ALLOW_RECODE_KFARFGF.
For speeds >= 3 the code does not currently run a dummy bit pack operation
inside the recode loop. Without this dummy pack operation there is no up to
date estimate of the current frame's size to use as a basis for assessing the
requirement for a recode. In practice it was using the previous frames size (or 0
for the first frame) which could cause odd behavior.
If we require the emergency rate correction added in Change-Id: I6923.. for
the higher speed settings it will be necessary to enable the dummy pack
which will in turn hurt encode speed.
