Changes to the breakout behavior for partition selection.
The biggest impact is on speed 0 where encode speed in
some cases more than doubles with typically less than 1%
impact on quality.

If high bit depth configuration is enabled, but encoding in profile 0,
the code now falls back on optimized SSE2 assembler to compute the
block errors, similar to when high bit depth is not enabled.

The artifact occurs periodically when VP9 denoiser is on and
refresh_golden_frame happen. When refresh_golden_frame happen,
we should copy the frame buffer instead of swapping the pointers.

Small code cleanup. consec_zeromv refresh threshold
does not need to be computed for every super-block.
No change in behavior.

Use the existing VP9_SET_SVC control to set the
first spatial layer to encode.
Since we loop over all spatial layers inside the encoder, the
setting of spatial_layer_id via VP9_SET_SVC has no relevance.
Use it instead to set the first_spatial_layer_to_encode,
which allows an application to skip encoding lower layer(s).
Change only affects the 1 pass CBR SVC.

The resolution check fixs the issue which resets resize_pending
unnecessarily and causes not-bitexact with previous one-step version.

Temporary fix to denoiser when dynamic resizing is on.
-Reallocate denoiser buffers on resized frame.
-Force golden update on resized frame.
-Don't denoise resized frame, and copy source into denoised buffers.

For screen-content mode, with frame dropper off, put a limit
on how low encoder buffer can go.
Under hard slide changes, the buffer level can go too low and then
take long time to come back up (in particular when frame-dropping
is not used), which will affect the active_worst and target frame size.

Dynamic resizing now support two-steps scaling: first go down to
3/4 and then 1/2. This feature is under a flag which controls the
switch between two-steps scaling and one-step scaling (1/2 only).

The loopfilter masks are now built in the decode loop.
This is done so we can eventually reduce the number of
MODE_INFO structs required by the decoder.
The encoder builds the masks for the entire frame prior
to calling the loopfilter.

In the decoder, map this to the output variable vpx_image_t.r_w/h.
This is intended as an improved version of VP9D_GET_DISPLAY_SIZE,
which doesn't work with parallel frame decoding. In the encoder,
map this to a codec control func (VP9E_SET_RENDER_SIZE) that takes
a w/h pair argument in a int[2] (identical to VP9D_GET_DISPLAY_SIZE).
Also add render_size to the encoder_param_get_to_decoder unit test.
See issue 1030.

The name "display_*" (or "d_*") is used for non-compatible information
(that is, the cropped frame dimensions in pixels, as opposed to the
intended screen rendering surface size). Therefore, continuing to use
display_* would be confusing to end users. Instead, rename the field
to render_*, so that struct vpx_image can include it.

Use the existing QP condition on limiting cyclic refresh, and add
addiitonal condition that block has been encoded with zero/small motion
x frames in row (where x is at least several times the refresh period).
Additional condition only affect non-screen content mode.
This helps to improve visual stability for noisy input, where on steady
background areas the application of delta_qp may lead to encoding the noise.
Also added a change to use the true skip (after encoding) to update the
last QP.

Limit transform size for intra to 16x16, for non-screen content mode.
Little/no change in speed or metrics.
32x32 intra block is rarley selected in RTC (non-screen content) case,
but some visual improvement can be seen in some example,
e.g., captured_video_dark_whd.yuv.

Reallocation of mi buffer fails if change size on the first frame and

Reference frame masking logic may skip checking zeromv-last mode.
Fix to avoid this and make sure zero-last is always checked.
No noticeable change in speed, and PSNR/SSIM metrics on RTC set overall
neutral (very small gain ~0.02).
Small visual improvement on few RTC clips.

Add SVC codec control to set the frame flags and buffer indices
for each spatial layer of the current (super)frame to be encoded.
This allows the application to set (and change on the fly) the
reference frame configuration for spatial layers.
Added an example layer pattern (spatial and temporal layers)
in vp9_spatial_svc_encoder for the bypass_mode using new control.

In decoder, export (eventually) into vpx_image_t.range field. In

For 1 pass CBR spatial-SVC:
Add cyclic refresh parameters to the svc-layer context.
This allows cyclic refresh (aq-mode=3) to be applied to
the whole super-frame (all spatial layers).
This gives a performance improvement for spatial layer encoding.
Addd the aq_mode mode on/off setting as command line option.

The normative (convolve8) filter is optimized/faster than

Access scaled reference frame in the sub8x8 rate-distortion
optimization loop only when the current test mode is an inter mode.
This prevents an ioc warning triggered by sending intra_frame index
to fetch scaled reference frame.

This commit allows the encoder to include sub8x8 inter mode with

If the encoder dynamic resize is triggered and change config()
is then called, it will reset the current (resized) codec width/height
back to the the config (unresized) width/height (which will then
prevent the resizing action from occurring in encoder_loop).
Avoid this by checking for a change in the config width/height
before resetting the cm->width/height.

For one pass CBR: only check for updating refresh_golden
if ext_refresh_frame_flags_pending is not set (i.e., == 0).
And move the resetting of ext_refresh_frame_flags_pending = 0
down to after the encode_loop (and account for dropped frames).
This is to prevent changing refresh_golden flga when the user
supplies the reference/update flags.

Switch to use the normative (convolve8) filter for source scaling,
only for 1/2x1/2 scaling for now. This is faster and has better
quality than either the vpx_scale_frame or the nonnormative scaler.

For 1 pass CBR mode under screen content mode:

Only test for using golden as reference for variance partition
selection if it is used as a reference for that frame.
For temporal layers, golden may not be a reference on a given frame,
even though it was for some previous frame. If it is not a reference
for current frame, don't check/use it for partition selection.
