Encoding time of first 50 frames of bus @ 1500kbps (speed 0) goes from
3min15.0 to 3min10.9, i.e. 2.1% faster overall.

This commit enables configurable reference buffer pointer for intra
predictor. This allows later removal of spatial dependency between
blocks inside a 64x64 superblock in the rate-distortion optimization
loop.

Use vpx_memset for updating the partition contexts. Thanks to Noah
for pointing out the need of refactoring in this part.

what is on and off at different speed settings.

comment out some unused parameters and adjust the format to avoid:

Using consistent function and variable names.

The aligned array in parameter list caused win32 build to report
c2719 error. This commit fixed the issue by make the parameter
type a pointer instead of an array.

Each frame we reset all adaptive thresholds to MAX
rather than base. As modes are picked their thresholds
drop down.

Renamed cpi->sf.first_step to cpi->sf.reduce_first_step_size
and changed its meaning such that it is a delta applied to
reduce the default first step size (>> x) in the motion search
rather than an absolute value.

The default first step size is already changed according to the image
dimensions (smaller for smaller images). cpi->sf.reduce_first_step_size
now applies a further correction from the default.

Make the base test be:
!(fatal || abort_) removing some redundancy in the encode tests

Change-Id: I8ffaf33fcf9a3030b38ea3e8eb94704cdc2fc920

Remove vp9_intra4x4_predict(). Use the common intra prediction
function for all block sizes.
