Paul Wilkins c389b37bb4 Substantial reworking of code for arf and kf groups.
Substantial restructuring of the way we estimate
the rate of decay in prediction quality and determine
the arf interval and amount of boost used.

Also other changes to support moving to a lower first pass
Q which exposes some new features and allows us to better
distinguish genuinely static blocks from low motion or noisy
blocks.

Net gains now visible on all the test sets with std-hd PSNR up
1.87%. There are still some bad outlier cases but most of these
are low motion or slide show type content where the metrics
are already high at any given rate. The best + case is up by
more than 10%.
