This commit enables forcing all coefficients zero per transformed
block, when its rate-distortion cost is lower than regular coeff
quantization.

The overall performance improvement (including its parent patch on
calculating rd cost per transformed block) at speed 1:
derf:  0.298%
yt:    0.452%
hd:    0.741%
stdhd: 0.006%

Change-Id: I66005fe0fd7af192c3eba32e02fd6d77952accb5

Adds modeled functions to decide the qp for altref frames in constant q
mode similar to other functions in use in bitrate mode.

Also turns on the constrained quality mode (end-usage=2) option which
was turned off before. Basic testing shows the mode works in principle,
to cap bitrate to the target-bitrate specified, while allowing lower
bitrate depending on the cq-level specified. The mode will need to be
improved over time.

Results for constant quality vs bitrate control mode:
derfraw300/fullderfraw: +3.0% at constant quality over bitrate control.
fullstdhdraw: +4.341%
stdhdraw250: +5.361%

This commit makes the rate-distortion optimization loop evaluate
the rd costs of regular quantization and all zero coeffs, per
transformed block. It improves speed 1 compression performance:

derf: 0.245%
yt:   0.515%

For a large partition that consists multiple transformed blocks,
this allows more flexibility to selectively force a portion of
them coded as all zero coeffs, as well be continued in the next
patches.

The sub8x8 blocks has its own motion vector reference scheme. The
mv_pred is only used blocks of sizes 8x8 and above, to find the
starting point for motion search.

This change does not change any coding behavior. It makes the
encoding process slightly faster. (0.5% speed-up for local test on
speed 1.)

The commit added reset of pred_mv at the beginning of each SB64x64
partition mv search, also limited the usage of pred_mv only when
search on the largest partition is already done. This is to fix
a crash at speed 1/2 encoder where an invalid mv is used in mv
search.

This commit enables adaptive constraint on motion search range for
smaller partitions, given the motion vectors of collocated larger
partition as a candidate initial search point.

It makes speed 0 runtime of bus at CIF and 2000 kbps goes from
167s down to 162s (3% speed-up), at 0.01dB performance gains. In
the settings of speed 1, this makes the runtime goes from 33687 ms
to 32142 ms (4.5% speed-up), at 0.03dB performance gains.

Compression performance wise, it gains at speed 1:
derf  0.118%
yt    0.237%
hd    0.203%
stdhd 0.438%

Mis-merge of the following change managed to break mode order

Removes this speed feature since it is very slow and unlikely
to be used in practice. This cleanup removes a bunch of unnecessary
complications in the outer encode loop.

Change-Id: I3c66ef1ca924fbfad7dadff297c9e7f652d308a1

Propose some changes to the speed 2 settings to improve quality.
In particular, turns off the adjust_thresholds_by_speed feature
which improves results by 6%. Also removes the code for
adjust_thresholds_by_speed since it conflicts with the adaptive
rd thresh feature.

Overall, with this change speed 2 is -15.2% from speed 0 settings,
on derf, which is significantly better than -21.6% down before.

mode_info_context was stored as a grid of MODE_INFO structs.
The grid now constists of pointers to MODE_INFO structs.  The
MODE_INFO structs are now stored as a stream (decoder only),
eliminating unnecessary copies and is a little more cache
friendly.

The c code implementation of 32x32 quantization does the zbin check
of all coefficients prior to the quant/dequant loop, hence removing
the redundant zbin check inside the loop. This only affects the
c code version. SSSE3 version does not separate the zbin check out.

If the current obtained distortion is very small, which happens
for static image case, we pick the current partition type without
further split checking.

This won't affect regular videos. For static videos, we got 10%~12%
encoding speed gain. PSNR was better for some clips, and worse for
others. Overall it was even.

Change-Id: If787a57bedf46fc595ca4f5ded2b0c0a69e9fdef

Thank Paul for the suggestions. While turning on static-thresh
for static-image videos, a big jump on bitrate was seen. In this
patch, we detected static frames in the video using first-pass
stats. For different cases, disable encode breakout or reduce
encode breakout threshold to limit the skipping.

More modification need be done to break incorrect partition
picking pattern for static frames while skipping happens.

A previous speed feature skipped modes not used in earlier
partitions but this not longer worked as intended following
changes to the partition coding order and in conjunction
with some other speed features (Especially speed 2 and above).

This modified mode skip feature sets a mask after the first X
modes have been tested in each partition depending on the
reference frame of the current best case.

This patch also makes some changes to the order modes are
tested to fit better with this skip functionality.

Initial testing suggests speed and rd hit count improvements
of up to 20% at speed 1. Quality results. (derf -1.9%, std hd  +0.23%).
