Explicitly constrain the upper limit of motion search range (in the
unit of full pixel) to be [-1023, +1023]. It is intended to control
the effective motion search range for 4K sequences.

Overall change (using dual buffer scheme for superblocks of both inter
and intra modes) reduces speed 2 runtime:
bluesky_1080p at 6000kbps:   263553ms -> 257441ms
riverbed_1080p at 8000kbps:  233230ms -> 225308ms.

The only case where they were intentionally pointing to different
structures was in mbgraph, and this didn't have the expected behavior
because both of these pointers are used interchangeably through the code

This should be similar to what x264 does with --aq-mode 1.
It works well with clips like parkjoy and touhou
(http://x264.nl/developers/Dark_Shikari/LosslessTouhou.mkv).
At low bitrates, the segmentation signaling overhead may negate the
benefits of this feature.

(PGW) Default changed to feature OFF to allow provisional merge.

Use b_mode_info to store the inter prediction mode of sub8x8 block,
in replacement of the use of partition_info. Remove redundant buffer
update for partition_info. For bus_cif at 2000 kbps, this seem to make
speed 0 about 1% faster.

Both first pass and mbgraph search use block size 16x16 for motion
estimation. This commit put a limit of motion vector range. The
effective range allows the entire 16x16 with required subpel
interpolation input to be completely outside image border, but
not any further away from image border.

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%

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.

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.

Adds a new end-usage option for constant quality encoding in vpx. This
first version implemented for VP9, encodes all regular inter frames
using the quality specified in the --cq-level= option, while encoding
all key frames and golden/altref frames at a quality better than that.

The current performance on derfraw300 is +0.910% up from bitrate control,
but achieved without multiple recode loops per frame.

The decision for qp for each altref/golden/key frame will be improved
in subsequent patches based on better use of stats from the first pass.
Further, the qp for regular inter frames may also be varied around the
provided cq-level.

mode_info_context was stored as a grid of MODE_INFO structs.
The grid now constists of a pointer to a MODE_INFO struct and
a "in the image" flag.  The MODE_INFO structs are now stored
as a stream, eliminating unnecessary copies and is a little
more cache friendly.

For the test clips used, the decoder performance improved
by ~4.3% (1080p) and ~9.7% (720p).

Patch Set 2: Re-encoded clips with latest. Now ~1.7% (1080p)
and 5.9% (720p).

This prevents a duplicate memcpy of a 128-byte struct every time
set_scale_factors() is called (which is a lot), thus leading to a
decrease from 3.7 MB to 1.85 MB of struct copying per 64x64 block
RD/partition loop.

Overall, this decreases encoding time of the first 50 frames of bus
@ 1500kbps (speed 0) from 1min5.9 to 1min4.9, i.e. about a 1.5%
overall speedup. We can likely get more gains by removing the copy
of the other struct (and replacing it with an indexing) as well.

Implements some of the helper functions more efficiently with
lookups rathers than branches. Modeling function is consolidated
to reduce some computations.

Also merged the two enums BLOCK_SIZE_TYPES and BlockSize into
one because there is no need to keep them separate (even though
the semantics are a little different).

No bitstream or output change.

About 0.5% speedup
