Just before a forced key frame we often get a foreshortened
arf/gf group. In such a case, we do not want to update
rc->last_boosted_qindex, which is used to define the Q range
for the forced key frame itself.

This gives a small average metrics gain for the YT and YT-HD sets
(eg. YT SSIM +0.141%).

Incorporate segment delta-q into estimated bits.
This generally improves the rate control under cyclic refresh (aq=3) mode.

In rare cases, the interaction between rate correction factor and Q
choices may cause severe oscillating frame sizes that are way off
target bandwidth. This commit adds tracking of rate control results
for last two frames, and use the information to prevent oscillating
Q choices.

Prepare for the introduction of frame-size change
logic into the recode loop.

Separated the speed dependent features into
separate static and dynamic parts, the latter being
those features that are dependent on the frame size.

Allow min and maxQ to creep when the undershoot
or overshoot exceeds thresholds controlled by the
command line under_shoot_pct and over_shoot_pct
values.

Default is 100%,100% which ~disables adaptation.

Derf results for example undershoot% / overshoot%:-

Head:- Mean abs (%rate error) = 14.4%

This check in:-
25%/25% - Mean abs (%rate error) = 6.7%
                  PSNR hit -1% SSIM -0.1%

5% / 5%  - Mean abs (%rate error) = 2.2%
                 PSNR hit -3.3% SSIM - 1.1%

Most of the remaining error and most of the quality hit is
at extreme data rates. The adaptation code still has an
exception for material that is in effect static so that we
don't over adjust and over spend on YT slide show type
content.

Substantial restructuring of the way we estimate
the rate of decay in prediction quality and determine
the arf interval and amount of boost used.

Also other changes to support moving to a lower first pass
Q which exposes some new features and allows us to better
distinguish genuinely static blocks from low motion or noisy
blocks.

Net gains now visible on all the test sets with std-hd PSNR up
1.87%. There are still some bad outlier cases but most of these
are low motion or slide show type content where the metrics
are already high at any given rate. The best + case is up by
more than 10%.

All changes are for spatial svc only.
1. Enable encoding hidden frames in each layer and use alt reference idex to reference the hidden frame in each layer
2. Use golden reference idx for spatial reference
3. For those layers that don't have hidden frames (caused by lack of frame buffers), reference a hidden frame in lower layers
4. Add "auto-alt-refs" in svc options

This patch implements a mechanism for inserting a second
arf at the mid position of arf groups.

It is currently disabled by default using the flag multi_arf_enabled.

Results are currently down somewhat in initial testing if
multi-arf is enabled. Most of the loss is attributable to the
fact that code to preserve the previous golden frame
(in the arf buffer) in cases where we are coding an overlay
frame, is currently disabled in the multi-arf case.

Add code to monitor over and under spend and
apply limited correction to the data rate of subsequent
frames. To prevent the problem of starvation or overspend
on individual frames (especially near the end of a clip) the
maximum adjustment on a single frame is limited to a %
of its un-modified allocation.

Removes certain cases of feedback of active_worst_quality,
and removes it from the RATE_CONTROL structure. Now active
worst quality is expected to be computed locally in the
q picking function during the encode.
Making temporal filter strength depend on avg_frame_qindex
rather than on active_worst_quality actually improves
performance esp. for yt.
derf: +0.038%
yt: +0.359%

Inlcudes a number cleanups:
1. Moves the one-pass pre-encode parameter setting functions
to vp9_ratectrl.c
2. Deprecates per_frame_bandwidth in RATE_CONTROL structure
3. Removes target_bandwidth in cpi structure since it is not used.
4. Various renaming of functions

There is no bit-stream change in 2-pass, one-pass cbr and one-pass
vbr modes.

Various cleanups and refactoring.
Removes feedback of active worst qaulity and uses last_q
instead to make the interface cleaner. Active worst quality
is now decided only once for a frame being coded in the
beginning based on last_q and other stats. Also, adds other
cleaups on last_q to store also the last_q for altref frames,
and reduces the altref interval a little.

The output does change a little.
derfraw300: +0.224% (global psnr)
