    Turn on the use of upsampled refs for ext-refs · b9d0d3f4

    Without this patch, the experiment of ext-refs showed almost no coding
    gains compared to the baseline. This is because when ext-refs is on, the
    use of upsampled reference is off.
    
    With this patch, the ext-refs experiment works with the upsampled
    references and shows coding gains in Overall PSNR as follows, with ~5%
    slow down for encoding time:
    
    lowres: Avg - -0.965;  BDRate - -0.844
    derflr: Avg - -0.847;  BDRate - -0.669
    
    Note that the previous patch a912c6ec
    that "Make LAST_FRAME always point to the newly coded frame in ext-refs"
    made ext-refs work with the upsampled refereces.
