Removes some unused code and speed features, and organizes the
interfaces for fractional mv step functions for use in new speed
features to come.

In the process a new speed feature - number of iterations per
step during the subpel search - is exposed.

No change when this parameter is set as the original value of 3.

Results:
subpel_iters_per_step = 3: baseline
subpel_iters_per_step = 2: psnr -0.067%, 1% speedup
subpel_iters_per_step = 1: psnr -0.331%, 3-4% speedup

Adds a few pattern searches to achieve various tradeoffs
between motion estimation complexity and performance.
The search framework is unified across these searches so that a
common pattern search function is used for all. Besides it will
be easier to experiment with various patterns or combinations
thereof at different scales in the future.

The new pattern search is multi-scale and is capable of using
different patterns at different scales.

The new hex search uses 8 points at the smallest scale
and 6 points at other scales.
Two other pattern searches - big-diamond and square are
also added. Big diamond uses 4 points at the smallest scale and
8 points in diamond shape at the larger scales.
Square is very similar conceptually to the default n-step search
but is somewhat faster since it keeps only one survivor across
all scales.

Psnr/speed-up results on derf300:

hex: -1.6% psnr%, 6-8% speed-up
big-diamond: -0.96% psnr, 4-5% speedup
square: -0.93% psnr, 4-5% speedup

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.

This patch modifies the auto_mv_step_size speed feature to
use a combination of the maximum magnitude mv from the last
inter frame, and the maximum magnitude mv for the two reference
mvs with the same reference. For arf frames, the max mav step
for the resolution is used.
The bounds therefore are slightly tighter. The feature is made
a speed 1 feature.

Rebased.

Results (when this feature is turned on over speed 0):

Current partition checking starts from small sizes, and then goes up
to large sizes. This experiment uses the small partitions' motion
estimation result, which is already available, to speed up the
large partition's motion estimation. We can decide to skip some
patition checkings if they are unlikely choices. We could use the
motion vector(MV) result as current partition's prediction MV, limit
the search range and reference frame.

Current result at speed 1:
psnr loss: 1.19% for stdhd, 0.287% for derf.
speed gain: 14% for sunflower(hd), 11% for akiyo.

Further improvement will be done later.

This speed feature allows the encoder to largely remove the spatial
dependency between blocks inside a 64x64 superblock, thereby removing
the need to repeatedly encode superblocks per partition type in the
rate-distortion optimization loop.

A major challenge lies in the intra modes tested in the rate-distortion
optimization loop. The subsequent blocks do not have access to the
reconstructed boundary pixels without the intermediate coding steps.
This was resolved by using the original pixels for intra prediction
in the rd loop, followed by an appropriately designed distortion
modeling on the quantization parameters. Experiments also suggested
that the performance impact is more discernible at lower bit-rate/psnr
settings. Hence a quantizer dependent threshold is applied to deactivate
skip of block coding.

For bus_cif at 2000 kbps,
speed 0: runtime 269854ms -> 237774ms (12% speed-up) at 0.05dB
         performance loss.

speed 1: runtime 65312ms  -> 61536ms, (7% speed-up) at 0.04dB
         performance loss.

This operation is currently turned on in settings of speed 1.

With sf->auto_mv_step_size on it is questionable
whether sf->reduce_first_step_size is worthwhile.

Adds a speed feature to eliminate full-rd computation if the modeled
rd or rd based on a different parameter in the same mode is already
a lot larger than the best rd yet.

Specifically, only search the sharp and smooth filters if the modeled
rd cost based on the  regular filter is within a certain factor of the
best rd cost so far. Also, skip full-rd computation of non splitmv
inter modes if the modeled rd cost based on pred error is within the
same factor of the best rd cost so far.

Also adds some enhancements in the rd search for splitmv mode to
speed things up by early breakouts. Negligible impact on performance.

Resuts on derfraw300:
psnr:    -0.013% with the splitmv enhancements, -0.24% with the rd
         breakout feature on.
speedup: 6% with splitmv enhancements, 20% with also residual breakout
         (tested on football sequence at 600 Kbps)

Skips mode searches for intra and compound inter modes depending
on the best mode so far and the reference frames. The various
heuristics to be used are selected by bits from a flag. The
previous direction based intra mode search pruning is also absorbed
in this framework.

Specifically the flags and their impact are:

1) FLAG_SKIP_INTRA_BESTINTER (skip intra mode search for oblique
directional modes and TM_PRED if the best so far is
an inter mode)
derfraw300: -0.15%, 10% speedup

2) FLAG_SKIP_INTRA_DIRMISMATCH (skip D27, D63, D117 and D153
mode search if the best so far is not one of the closest
hor/vert/diagonal directions.
derfraw300: -0.05%, about 9% speedup

3) FLAG_SKIP_COMP_BESTINTRA (skip compound prediction mode
search if the best so far is an intra mode)
derfraw300: -0.06%, about 7-8% speedup

4) FLAG_SKIP_COMP_REFMISMATCH (skip compound prediction search
if the best single ref inter mode does not have the same ref
as one of the two references being tested in the compound mode)
derfraw300: -0.56%, about 10% speedup

sf->unused_mode_skip_lvl. Tests modes as normal for all
sizes at or below the given level. At larger sizes it skips
all modes that were not chosen at any smaller size.
Hence setting BLOCK_SIZE_SB64X64 is in effect off.
Setting BLOCK_SIZE_AB4X4 will only consider modes that
were chosen for one or more 4x4 blocks at larger sizes.

sf->reference_masking.
Do a test encode of the NONE partition at one size and create
a reference frame mask based on the best rd choice. In the
full search only allow this reference frame.
Currently it is testing 64x64 and repeats this in the full search.
This does not work well with Jim's Partition code just now and
is disabled by default.
