Instead of using source variance, this patch uses variance of the
frame difference between the source and the current frame to make
fixed size partition decisions. Also disables adjusting partitioning
if variance based or fixed size partitioning is used.

The latter change improves the speed substantially for speed 6, so
that speed 7 is now less than 3x the speed of speed 6. But speed
6 is 48% better in psnr on the rtc set compared to speed 7.

As compared to speed 5,
speed 6 is -37% in psnr at about 2.5x the speed,
speed 7 is -55% in psnr at about 7x the speed.

There was a bug in the previous code that if GOLDEN was better than
LAST neither would be used. LAST would get turned off due to superior
GOLDEN quality then all GOLDEN modes would get skipped.

As Yunqing suggested, this commit makes non-RD mode decision always run
sub-pixel motion search in NEWMV mode. The compression performance
gains becomes fairly significant after we enabled sub-pixel accuracy
motion compensated prediction to calculate SAD cost.

For test sequences pedestrian_area at 1080p and vidyo1 at 720p, the
runtime goes slower by 5%. For rtc test set, the compression performance
is improved by 21.20%.

This commit builds the actual prediction block in sub-pixel accuracy
and uses which to calculate SAD for non-RD mode decision. In the trail
run on pedestrian_area at 1080p, rtc speed -7 runtime goes from
23495 ms -> 25107 ms (7% slower). The compression performance is
improved by 20.57% for rtc test set.

Adds a method for determining a fixed size partition based on
variance of a 64x64 SB. This method is added to rtc speed 6.
Also fixes a bug in rtc_use_partition() and includes some
refactoring related to partitioning search, and some cosmetics.

Currently compared to speed 5, the coding efficiency of speed 6
is -19% and that of speed 7 is -55%, in cbr mode.

Skip coefficient cost update in non-RD mode decision setting. Allow
periodical mode and motion vector cost update. Currently every other

This commit makes a refactoring of the rtc_use_partition. It allows
the encoder to take a preferred block size for non-RD mode decision.
The boundary blocks are handled such that smaller block sizes that
fit in the boundary size will be used instread.

In rtc mode, the coding performance of speed -6 for pedestrian_1080p
goes from
158980 b/f, 38.934 dB, 22721 ms to
159008 b/f, 40.064 dB, 23721 ms.

For rtc set, the speed -6 compression performance is improved by
26%. Still about 2dB behind speed -5 at this point.

This commit enables the use of DC, vertical, and horizontal intra
prediction mode in rtc non-RD mode decision. When the best cost value
of inter modes is above a given threshold, the encoder runs the
above three intra modes and selects the one that has minimum
prediction residual in terms of SAD.

This together with recent changes on non-RD mode decision and coding
control improves compression performance of speed -6 by
derf  91%
yt    61%
hd    46%
stdhd 52%

In terms of encoding speed, it is about 3 times faster than speed -5.
