This commit enables a fast path computational flow for forward
transformation. It checks the sse and variance of prediction
residuals and decides if the quantized coefficients are all
zero, dc only, or more. It then selects the corresponding coding
path in the forward transformation and quantization stage.

It is currently enabled in rtc coding mode. Will do it for rd
coding mode next.

In speed -6, the runtime for pedestrian_area 1080p at 1000 kbps
goes down from 14234 ms to 13704 ms, i.e., about 4% speed-up.
Overall coding performance for rtc set is changed by -0.18%.

Fixes a bug in original patch:
(https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/#/c/70163/8)
that was reverted due to a nightly test failure.

This patch did not address all the assembly issues 
some of the vp8 assembly counts on 5 arguments being passed in to this function:   

one example : vp8_sad8x16_wmt

Please address or split this into vp9 and vp8 patches.

vp9_block_error_sse2 can only handle 16 bytes at a time but
the function requires to handle a sequence of 32 bytes at a time
so each 16 bytes is handled in a different register.
With AVX2 optimization the 32 bytes can be handled in one register instead
of two in the SSE2
The vp9_block_error was optimized by 85%.
The user level was optimized by 1.2%

As a side-effect, the max_sad check is removed from the
C-implementation of VP8, for consistency with VP9, and to
ensure that the SAD tests common to VP8/VP9 pass.
That will make the VP8 C implementation of sad a little slower
but given that is rarely used in practice, the impact will be
minimal.

The scanning order has the first 12 coefficients of the 8x8 2D-DCT
sitting in the top left 4x4 block. Hence the partial inverse 8x8
2D-DCT allows to handle cases with eob below 12.

The overall runtime of the inverse 8x8 2D-DCT unit is reduced from
166 cycles (using SSE2) to 150 cycles (using SSSE3).

This commit enables ssse3 assembly implementation of the 8x8
inverse 2D-DCT with only first 10 coefficients non-zero. The
average runtime for this unit goes down from 198 cycles to 129
cycles (34.8% faster).

This commit enables SSSE3 version full inverse 8x8 2D-DCT and
reconstruction. It makes the runtime of vp9_idct8x8_64_add down
from 256 cycles (SSE2) to 246 cycles.

Assembly implementation of ssse3 8x8 forward 2D-DCT. The current
version is turned on only for x86_64. The average unit runtime
goes from 157 cycles down to 136 cycles, i.e., about 12.8% faster.
This translates into about 1.5% speed-up for pedestrian_area 1080p
at speed 2.

Calculate the difference variance between last source frame and
current source frame. The variance is calculated at 16x16 block
level. The variances are compared to several thresholds to decide
final partition sizes.

An adaptive strategy is implemented to decide using
SOURCE_VAR_BASED_PARTITION or FIXED_PARTITION based on motions
in the video. The switching test is done once every
search_type_check_frequency frames.

The selection of source_var_thresh needs to be investigated
further later.

RTC set Borg test showed 0.424% overall psnr gain, and 0.357%
ssim gain. For clips with large enough static area, the
encoding speedup is around 2% to 15%.

2 functions were optimized for avx2 by using full 256 bit register
In order to handle 32 elements in parallel instead of only 16 in parallel:
1. vp9_sad32x32x4d
2. vp9_sad64x64x4d

The function level gain is 66% and the user level gain is ~1%.

the goal of this change is to convert rtcd.sh to perl as directly as
possible to allow for simple comparison. future changes can make it more
perl-like.
