    Account for rate error in GF group Q calculation. · 8d7f53f0

    When GF group adaptive maxQ is enabled this patch accounts
    somewhat for accumulated error in the rate control.
    
    This improves accuracy quite a bit on many clips especially
    when there is  overshoot.
    
    Examples when the overshoot and undershoot command line
    parameters are set to 100:
    
    Hall @ 1200 overshoot is reduced from 67-24%.
    Akiyo @ 400 undershoot is reduced from 28%-15%.
    
    Setting a lower value for undershoot or overshoot still
    reduces the error further.
    
    Impact on metrics is mixed with some gains in average psnr
    but generally a little lower (e.g. 0.5%) on overall and ssim.
    
    The GF group adaptation is still off by default in this patch.
    Compared to with the head, enabling this mode now gives
    big average psnr gains on the YT sets (e.g. YT_HD >11.2%),
    a drop in overall PSNR (YT-HD 3.9%) and a smaller drop or
    neutral for SSIM.
