The feature undergoes prior assumption that the recursive partition
size search from 4x4 to 64x64, hence utilizing information from small
blocks to determine early termination in large block rate-distortion
optimization search. The current codebase is now going from top down.
The previous function might go with not properly initialized values,
hence removed.

Tested on pedestrian_area_1080p at 4000 kbps running under speed 2.
No visible difference in runtime observed.

This patch sets frame types correctly in the new
vp9_get_second_pass_params() function called prior
to encode_frame_to_data_rate() function, so that the
latter function can just work with what is passed to
it. This will allow multiple vp9_get_second_pass_params()
to be created for various encode strategies without
messing with the core encode function.

There is no difference in derf and yt. stdhd/hd are pending.

In two pass encodes bits are allocated to each frame
according to a modified error score for the frame as a
fraction of the modified error score for the clip or section.

Previously a minimum rate per frame was reserved and
subtracted from the bits allocatable by the two pass code.
The vbr max section rate was enforced by clipping the
actual number of bits allocated.

In this patch the min and max vbr rates are enforced
instead by clipping the modified error scores for each frame
rather than the number of bits allocated.

Small gains for all test sets (psnr and SSIM) ranging from
~ +0.05 for YT psnr up to ~ +0.25 for Std-hd SSIM.

This commit takes a preliminary attempt to refine the motion search
control. It detects the SAD associated with mv predictor per reference
frame, and based on which to determine whether the encoder wants to
reduce the motion search range (if the predicted mv provides fairly
small SAD), or to skip the current reference frame (if there exists
another ref frame that gives much smaller SAD cost).

Before mv scaling it is required to calculate x_offset_q4/y_offset_q4
by calling set_scaled_offsets(). Now offset configuration can not be
missed because it happens just before scale_mv().
