For 1 pass vbr speed >= 6: when REFERENCE_PARTITION is selected,
avoid doing the full nonrd_pickmode based partition.
No change in overall metrics or speed.
Reduces encode times on scene cuts by 10-20%.

For speed 6 real-time mode: use adapt_partition
on ARF frame instead of REFERENCE_PARTITION (which is slower).
This requires enabling compute_source_sad_onepass for no-show_frames.

Speedup of ~3-5% on some clips that heavily use ARF,
small loss (~0.2%) in quality on ytlive set.

Change-Id: Ib50acc97df06458244a6ac55d2bd882c30012536

Add stats for past ARF usage, and use it to disable
ARF usage based on some conditions.

Overall improvement on ytlive set, reduces the regression
on the problem clips for this feature.

Only affects when sf->use_altref_onepass is enabled
(currently off by default).

Change-Id: I66267f227ea132dc86acb730e9882f85bead2cdb

Only when USE_ALT_REF_ONE_PASS is enabled (off by default).
Force fixed partition to 64x64 when is_src_alt_ref_frame is true,
and don't force early exit for some modes in nonrd_pickmode
for ARF noshow frames.

Small gain ~0.2% on ytlive metrics for speed 6.
Neutral speed difference.

Change-Id: I27eb6622d0453c09a06ccdc3b16368762474d11d

Enable adapt_partition for vbr mode for speed 6.
This allows the usage of the pickmode-based partition
(used in speed 5), but only selectively for superblocks
with high source sad, otherwise the faster variance based
partition scheme is used.

For speed 6 on ytlive set: avgPSNR/SSIM metrics up by ~0.6%,
several clips up by ~1.5%. Small/negligible decrease in speed.

Change-Id: I12f3efef6b3e059391de330fdbe5a44c2587f1f8

For speeds < 7, increase threshold that controls the split
of 16x16->8x8 blocks, for resolutions 720p and higher.

Minor change for speed 5 (since it uses reference partition scheme
which only uses variance partition as first step).
For speed 6: ~0.5% increase in avgPSNR/SSIM metrics on ytlvie set.
No change in speed.

Change-Id: I5126580973201538d8ca26a9256b93c4d11d685b

This feature is used for the CBR RTC encoding mode
at speed >= 6. This change will exclude it for VBR mode.

For speed 6 live encoding (VBR):
avgPSNR/SSIM metrics on ytlive set up by ~1% (few clips up by 2/3%).
No change in speed.

Change-Id: I1a0dd94c334f7df309ab5a48d477d7e25355b798

When adapt_partition_source_sad is enabled (currently only at
speed 6 for resoln <= 360p): use lower subsize (8x8 instead of 16x16)
for nonrd_select_partition on 32X32 blocks.

And force avoiding rectangular partition checks in
nonrd_pick_partition for speed >= 6.

Small increase ~0.5 in metrics for speed 6 on rtc_derf,
no change in speed.

When the superblock partition is based on the nonrd-pickmode,
we need to avoid the denoising. Current condition was based on
the speed level. This change is to make the condition at the
superblock level, as the switch in partitioning may be done at
sb level based on source_sad (e.g., in speed 6).

Move the source_sad feature to speed 6 (from speed 7), and
add speed feature to switch from the variance-based partition
to reference_partition (which uses nonrd-pickmode for bsize selection)
if source_sad is high.

Currently used only for speed 6 for resoln <= 360p.
About 4-5% improvement on 360p in RTC set.
Some speed slowdown, but still ~30% faster than speed 5.

In the content_state for a superblock is set to HighSad,
use that to bias some decisions in variance partition and
nonrd pickmde: use int_pro_motion for sad computation in
choose_partitioning, and set large_block in pickmode based

This patch followed allow_exhaustive_searches feature modification and
continued to modify the encoder to achieve the determinism in the row
based multi-threaded encoding. While row-mt = 1 and using multiple
threads, the adaptive feature in encoder was disabled, which gave
BDRate gain(at speed 1, -0.6% ~ -0.7%; at speed 2, -0.46% ~ -0.59%),
but some encoder speed losses(7% ~ 10% at speed 1 and 3% ~ 6% at
speed 2). These speed losses were acceptable considering the speed
gains obtained from row-mt.

Change-Id: I60d87a25346ebc487a864b57d559f560b7e398bb

A previous patch turned on allow_exhaustive_searches feature only for
FC_GRAPHICS_ANIMATION content. This patch further modified the feature
by removing the exhaustive search limit, and made it no longer adaptive.
As a result, the 2 counts that recorded the number of motion searches
were removed, which helped achieve the determinism in the row based
multi-threading encoding. Tests showed that this patch didn't cause
the encoder much slower.

Used exhaustive_searches_thresh for this speed feature, and removed
allow_exhaustive_searches. Also, refactored the speed feature code
to follow the general speed feature setting style.

Temporal denoiser runs in non-rd pickmode, so it is only used
for speed >= 5. Regression exists for speed 5, due to use of
reference_partition (which use non-rd pickmode for partitioning).
Avoid denoising for now at speed 5.

The row mt sync read uses sync_range = 1, and wouldn't work if we want
to use a sync_range that is greater than 1. To make it work, this sync
read code is modified. Pass in col instead of col - 1 to make it
consistent with other row mt code in VP9, and then add 1 in "while"
codition.
