Speed feature to skip split partition based on var

Adds a speed feature to disable split partition search based on a
given threshold on the source variance. A tighter threshold derived
from the threshold provided is used to also disable horizontal and
vertical partitions.

Results on derfraw300:
threshold = 16, psnr = -0.057%, speedup ~1% (football)
threshold = 32, psnr = -0.150%, speedup ~4-5% (football)
threshold = 64, psnr = -0.570%, speedup ~10-12% (football)

Results on stdhdraw250:
threshold = 32, psnr = -0.18%, speedup is somewhat more than derf
because of a larger number of smoother blocks at higher resolution.

Based on these results, a threshold of 32 is chosen for speed 1,
and a threshold of 64 is chosen for speeds 2 and above.
