    Assign boost to GF bit allocation if past frame had no ARF. · 87fd66bb
    Ronald S. Bultje authored
    Modify the second-pass code to provide a full golden-frame (GF) bit
    allocation boost if the past GF group (GFG) had no alt-ref frame (ARF),
    even if the current GFG does contain and ARF.
    
    This mostly has no effect on clips, since switching ARFs on/off between
    GFGs is not very common. Has a positive effect on e.g. cheer (+0.45 SSIM
    at 600kbps) and football (+0.25 SSIM at 600kbps), particularly at high
    bitrates. Has a negative effect (-0.04 SSIM at 300kbps) at pamphlet,
    which appears only marginally related to this patch, and crew (-0.1 SSIM
    at 700kbps).
