This allows us to increment the position at the band-level only as
we go from one band to the next; more importantly, that allows us to
use an add instead of multiply instruction, and omit the instruction
altogether if the band doesn't change from one coef to the next, thus
being slightly faster (probably more noticeable on systems where a
multiply is expensive, like arm).

This commit brought back the shortcut implementation of 8x8/16x16
inverse 2D-DCT. When the eob <= 10, it skips the inverse transform
operations on row 4:7/4:15 in the first round. For bus_cif at 1000
kbps, this provides about 2% speed-up at speed 0.

This commit enables a special handle for the 8x8 inverse 2D-DCT,
where only DC coefficient is quantized to be non-zero. For bus_cif
at 2000 kbps, it provides about 1% speed-up at speed 0.

Speed feature experiment to set an upper and lower
partition size limit based on what has been seen
in spatial neighbors.

This seems to gives quite reasonable speed gains in local
(10-15%) and when used with speed 0 the losses are small
(0.25% derf, 0.35% stdhd). However, for now I am only
enabling it on speed 1 as there may be clashes with the existing
temporal partition selection in speed 2.

Using a tighter min / max around the range derived from the
neighbors increases speed further but at the cost of a
bigger quality loss. However,  I think this spatial method could
be combined with data from either the last frame or a variance
method (or both) to refine the range of minimum and maximum
partition size. I.e. consider the min and max from spatial and
temporal neighbors and the variance recommendation.

Used 3 * standard_deviation in internal threshold calculation
instead of fit curve. This actually approached the algorithm
better.
For comparison, similar tests were done:
The overall psnr loss is less than before.
1. derf set:
when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 0.329%;
when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 0.970%;
2. stdhd set:
when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 0.922%;
when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 1.307%;

Similar speedup is achieved. For example,
clip            bitrate  static-thresh psnr    time
akiyo(cif)       500        0          48.952  5.077s(50f)
akiyo            500        500        48.866  4.169s(50f)

parkjoy(1080p)   4000       0          30.388  78.20s(30f)
parkjoy          4000       500        30.367  70.85s(30f)

This option exists in VP8, and it was rewritten in VP9 to support
skipping on different partition levels. After prediction is done,
we can check if the residuals in the partition block will be all
quantized to 0. If this is true, the skip flag is set, and only
prediction data are needed in reconstruction. Based on DCT's energy
conservation property, the skipping check can be estimated in
spatial domain.

The prediction error is calculated and compared to a threshold.
The threshold is determined by the dequant values, and also
adjusted by partition sizes. To be precise, the DC and AC parts
for Y, U, and V planes are checked to decide skipping or not.

Test showed that
1. derf set:
when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 0.666%;
when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 1.162%;
2. stdhd set:
when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 1.249%;
when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 1.668%;

For different clips, encoding speedup range is between several
percentage and 20+% when static-thresh <= 500. For example,
clip            bitrate  static-thresh psnr    time
akiyo(cif)       500        0          48.923  5.635s(50f)
akiyo            500        500        48.863  4.402s(50f)

parkjoy(1080p)   4000       0          30.380  77.54s(30f)
parkjoy          4000       500        30.384  69.59s(30f)

sunflower(1080p) 4000       0          44.461  85.2s(30f)
sunflower        4000       500        44.418  78.1s(30f)

Higher static-thresh values give larger speedup with larger
quality loss.

Optional change in diamond search to continue in the best move
direction until that move turns worse.

This is still WIP since the exact way the new method is to be used is
under investigation. One option is to make it an option in diamond
search and use it only when motion is large.

Overall slightly positive on derfraw300 +0.02%, stdhdraw +0.13%,
but works a lot better for high motion sequences (ex. football : +1%).

Stack the rate-distortion statistics in the sub8x8 rd loop. This allows
the encoder to skip the forward transform, quantization, and coeff cost
estimation, in the sub8x8 rd optimization search, if the motion
vector(s) are of integer pixel value, and have been tested in the
previous prediction filter type rd loops of the same block.

This gives about 2% speed-up for bus_cif at 2000 kpbs, for speed 0.
Its efficacy depends how frequently the motion search will select an
integer motion vector.
