Adds a few pattern searches to achieve various tradeoffs
between motion estimation complexity and performance.
The search framework is unified across these searches so that a
common pattern search function is used for all. Besides it will
be easier to experiment with various patterns or combinations
thereof at different scales in the future.
The new pattern search is multi-scale and is capable of using
different patterns at different scales.
The new hex search uses 8 points at the smallest scale
and 6 points at other scales.
Two other pattern searches - big-diamond and square are
also added. Big diamond uses 4 points at the smallest scale and
8 points in diamond shape at the larger scales.
Square is very similar conceptually to the default n-step search
but is somewhat faster since it keeps only one survivor across
all scales.
Psnr/speed-up results on derf300:
hex: -1.6% psnr%, 6-8% speed-up
big-diamond: -0.96% psnr, 4-5% speedup
square: -0.93% psnr, 4-5% speedup

There was no benefit having this function. For example, inside
read_switchable_filter_type switchable filter context was calculated twice.

This is in preparation for the SSE2 version of the high-precision
32x32 forward DCT which will share a lot of code with the existing
low precision version used for rate-distortion search.

Adds a speed feature to skip all intra modes other than
DC_PRED if the source variance is small. This feature is
made part of speed 1 and up.
Results on derf300: psnr -0.07%, speedup about 1-2%
Also uses the source variance to fine-tune the early
termination criteria when FLAG_EARLY_TERMINATE is on.
This feature is made part of speed 2 and up.
Results on derf300: psnr -0.52%, speedup about 5-7%

This changeset allows to remove vp9_switchable_interp and
vp9_switchable_interp_map arrays and make code much clear. Actually we
still have to use these mapping but only inside read_interp_filter_type and
write_interp_filter_type functions.

Removing assign_and_clamp_mv function, making implementation of clamp_mv
and clamp_mv2 more clear and consistent.

Adds a function to compute source variance for various
sb_types to be used for pruning mode and partition searches.
[The existing activity measure function is currently specialized
for only 16x16 MBs and needs to be updated].

If the partition is out of partition size range, we don't
need to process small partition information.

use_min_partition_size and use_max_partition_size are not used
currently, and could be added back if needed later.

The function name rd_pick_intra4x4mby_modes is confusing, so
I changed it to rd_pick_intra_sub_8x8_y_modes to better
reflect what the function does. Also added const qualifiers
to some of the input parameters and removed camel-case.

This commit removes redundant arguments passing in the function of
rd_pick_reference_frame. This resolves the clang warnings about
potential use of uninitialized values.

Refactor the frame buffer referencing in choose_partition and make
it consistent with other places. This means to prevent potential
issues when we extend reference frame buffer.
