Optional change in diamond search to continue in the best move
direction until that move turns worse.
This is still WIP since the exact way the new method is to be used is
under investigation. One option is to make it an option in diamond
search and use it only when motion is large.
Overall slightly positive on derfraw300 +0.02%, stdhdraw +0.13%,
but works a lot better for high motion sequences (ex. football : +1%).

Stack the rate-distortion statistics in the sub8x8 rd loop. This allows
the encoder to skip the forward transform, quantization, and coeff cost
estimation, in the sub8x8 rd optimization search, if the motion
vector(s) are of integer pixel value, and have been tested in the
previous prediction filter type rd loops of the same block.
This gives about 2% speed-up for bus_cif at 2000 kpbs, for speed 0.
Its efficacy depends how frequently the motion search will select an
integer motion vector.

This patch modifies the auto_mv_step_size speed feature to
use a combination of the maximum magnitude mv from the last
inter frame, and the maximum magnitude mv for the two reference
mvs with the same reference. For arf frames, the max mav step
for the resolution is used.
The bounds therefore are slightly tighter. The feature is made
a speed 1 feature.
Rebased.
Results (when this feature is turned on over speed 0):
derfraw300: -0.046% psnr, about 5+% speedup
(tested on football: goes from 4m30.760s to 4m17.410s).

This prevents a duplicate memcpy of a 128-byte struct every time
set_scale_factors() is called (which is a lot), thus leading to a
decrease from 3.7 MB to 1.85 MB of struct copying per 64x64 block
RD/partition loop.
Overall, this decreases encoding time of the first 50 frames of bus
@ 1500kbps (speed 0) from 1min5.9 to 1min4.9, i.e. about a 1.5%
overall speedup. We can likely get more gains by removing the copy
of the other struct (and replacing it with an indexing) as well.

This means we only do UV intra mode selection if we find any intra
mode to actually be useful at all; in addition, we only do UV intra
mode selection for the transform sizes that were selected, rather
than all sizes available in this partition.
First 50 frames of bus @ 1500kbps (speed 0) gains about 5% with this
change.

About 15% faster for bus (speed 0) first 50 frames @ 1500kbps, which
goes from 1min36 to 1min24. Results become slightly better (+0.2% on
derf/yt, +0.4% on hd), probably because of a bugfix for skipmode in
super_block_yrd(). Overall speed change (on derfraw300) is roughly
-13%. This can probably be improved further by caching best_yrd
between partition searches. Also, we might be able to get more
speedups by always doing PARTITION_NONE before PARTITIONS_SPLIT, not
just at the sb8x8 level.

Current partition checking starts from small sizes, and then goes up
to large sizes. This experiment uses the small partitions' motion
estimation result, which is already available, to speed up the
large partition's motion estimation. We can decide to skip some
patition checkings if they are unlikely choices. We could use the
motion vector(MV) result as current partition's prediction MV, limit
the search range and reference frame.
Current result at speed 1:
psnr loss: 1.19% for stdhd, 0.287% for derf.
speed gain: 14% for sunflower(hd), 11% for akiyo.
Further improvement will be done later.

Skip the inverse transform and reconstruction of inter-mode coded

This speed feature allows the encoder to largely remove the spatial
dependency between blocks inside a 64x64 superblock, thereby removing
the need to repeatedly encode superblocks per partition type in the
rate-distortion optimization loop.
A major challenge lies in the intra modes tested in the rate-distortion
optimization loop. The subsequent blocks do not have access to the
reconstructed boundary pixels without the intermediate coding steps.
This was resolved by using the original pixels for intra prediction
in the rd loop, followed by an appropriately designed distortion
modeling on the quantization parameters. Experiments also suggested
that the performance impact is more discernible at lower bit-rate/psnr
settings. Hence a quantizer dependent threshold is applied to deactivate
skip of block coding.
For bus_cif at 2000 kbps,
speed 0: runtime 269854ms -> 237774ms (12% speed-up) at 0.05dB
performance loss.
speed 1: runtime 65312ms -> 61536ms, (7% speed-up) at 0.04dB
performance loss.
This operation is currently turned on in settings of speed 1.

Adds a speed feature to eliminate full-rd computation if the modeled
rd or rd based on a different parameter in the same mode is already
a lot larger than the best rd yet.
Specifically, only search the sharp and smooth filters if the modeled
rd cost based on the regular filter is within a certain factor of the
best rd cost so far. Also, skip full-rd computation of non splitmv
inter modes if the modeled rd cost based on pred error is within the
same factor of the best rd cost so far.
Also adds some enhancements in the rd search for splitmv mode to
speed things up by early breakouts. Negligible impact on performance.
Resuts on derfraw300:
psnr: -0.013% with the splitmv enhancements, -0.24% with the rd
breakout feature on.
speedup: 6% with splitmv enhancements, 20% with also residual breakout
(tested on football sequence at 600 Kbps)
