Fork auto-alt-ref control

Temporarily fork the auto-alt-ref control meaning. When it is set
to be 1, use single layer ARF as baseline. The value 2 would enable
dual ARF system. Any number above it would trigger automatic multi-
layer ARFs.

We would gradually refactor and integrate dual ARF and multi-layer
ARF systems next, and eventually make auto-alt-ref directly control
the layer depth.
