For 1 pass CBR mode: increase waiting time after key frame
before we start sampling rate control behavior for determining
resize. This change need to disable one internal resize(DownUp)
temporally since it requires a longer clip to do so.

This reverts commit f1342a7b07.
This breaks 32-bit builds:
runtime error: load of misaligned address 0xf72fdd48 for type 'const
__m128i' (vector of 2 'long long' values), which requires 16 byte
alignment
+ _mm_set1_epi64x is incompatible with some versions of visual studio

This function now has an AVX intrinsics version which is about 80%
faster compared to the C implementation. This provides a 2-4% total
speed-up for encode, depending on encoding parameters. The function
utilizes 3 properties of the cost function lookup table, constructed
in 'cal_nmvjointsadcost' and 'cal_nmvsadcosts'.
For the joint cost:
- mvjointsadcost[1] == mvjointsadcost[2] == mvjointsadcost[3]
For the component costs:
- For all i: mvsadcost[0][i] == mvsadcost[1][i]
(equal per component cost)
- For all i: mvsadcost[0][i] == mvsadcost[0][-i]
(Cost function is even)
These must hold, otherwise the AVX version of the function cannot be used.

Change is only for real-time mode, speed > 5, and non-screen content mode.
Bias is based on block size and motion vector level (motion above some threshold).
Helps to improves stability in background from lightning changes.
PSNR/SSIM metrics on RTC set almost no change/neutral (within +/- 0.1).

Source noise level estimate is also useful for
setting variance encoder parameters (variance thresholds,
qp-delta, mode selection, etc), so allow it to be used also
if denoising is not on.

Bug relating to issue:- http://b/25090786
base_frame_target is supposed to track the idealized bit
allocation based on error score and not the actual bits
allocated to each frame.
The clamping of this value based on the VBR min and max pct values
was causing a bug where in some cases the loop that adjusts the
active max quantizer for each GF group was running out of bits at
the end of a KF group. This caused a spike in Q and some ugly artifacts.
A second change makes sure that the calculation of the active
Q range for a group DOES, however, take account of clamping.

A new version of vp9_highbd_error_8bit is now available which is
optimized with AVX assembly. AVX itself does not buy us too much, but
the non-destructive 3 operand format encoding of the 128bit SSEn integer
instructions helps to eliminate move instructions. The Sandy Bridge
micro-architecture cannot eliminate move instructions in the processor
front end, so AVX will help on these machines.
Further 2 optimizations are applied:
1. The common case of computing block error on 4x4 blocks is optimized
as a special case.
2. All arithmetic is speculatively done on 32 bits only. At the end of
the loop, the code detects if overflow might have happened and if so,
the whole computation is re-executed using higher precision arithmetic.
This case however is extremely rare in real use, so we can achieve a
large net gain here.
The optimizations rely on the fact that the coefficients are in the
range [-(2^15-1), 2^15-1], and that the quantized coefficients always
have the same sign as the input coefficients (in the worst case they are
0). These are the same assumptions that the old SSE2 assembly code for
the non high bitdepth configuration relied on. The unit tests have been
updated to take this constraint into consideration when generating test
input data.

Added optimization of the 8 bit assembly quantizer routines. This makes
these functions up to 100% faster, depending on encoding parameters.
This patch maskes the encoder faster in both the high bitdepth and 8bit
configurations. In the high bitdepth configuration, it effects profile 0
only.
Based on my profiling using 1080p input the net gain is between 1-3% for
the 8 bit config, and around 2.5-4.5% for the high bitdepth config,
depending on target bitrate. The difference between the 8 bit and high
bitdepth configurations for the same encoder run is reduced by 1% in all
cases I have profiled.

Adjust the qp threshold and consec_zeromv threshold for
limiting cyclic refresh. Also increase the refresh period
when the limit amount is significant, and some code-cleanup.
