Make partition decisions using machine learning models. The goal is to
achieve better coding quality than the variance-based parititioning
without much encoding speed loss.
To enable this experiment, use --enable-ml-var-partition for config.
When eanbled, the variance-based partitioning is replaced by this ML
based partitioing for speed 6 and above in real time mode(except low
resolution or high bit-depth).
Current coding gains(average PSNR):
speed 6 speed 7 speed 8
rtc 2.04% 2.65% 3.90%
ytlivehr 3.11% 4.53% 11.57%
hdres(rtc mode) 5.10%
Further testing and tuning is needed to see if the speed and quality
tradeoff is reasonable.

When the superblock partition is based on the nonrd-pickmode,
we need to avoid the denoising. Current condition was based on
the speed level. This change is to make the condition at the
superblock level, as the switch in partitioning may be done at
sb level based on source_sad (e.g., in speed 6).

A previous patch turned on allow_exhaustive_searches feature only for
FC_GRAPHICS_ANIMATION content. This patch further modified the feature
by removing the exhaustive search limit, and made it no longer adaptive.
As a result, the 2 counts that recorded the number of motion searches
were removed, which helped achieve the determinism in the row based
multi-threading encoding. Tests showed that this patch didn't cause
the encoder much slower.
Used exhaustive_searches_thresh for this speed feature, and removed
allow_exhaustive_searches. Also, refactored the speed feature code
to follow the general speed feature setting style.

Refactor to split the 1 passs source sad computation into scene

superblock based source sad computation (used in non-rd CBR mode).
This allows the source sad computation for CBR mode to be

The sum of tx bloxk eobs is needed in the machine learning based partition
early termination. The eobs are first accumulated during tx search, and
then the value associated with the best tx_size is copied to ctx for later
use.
After the sum of eobs are calculated correctly, re-enabled
ml_partition_search_early_termination speed feature.
Re-did the quality/speed test to check the impact of the fix.
1. Borg test BDRATE result:
4k set: PSNR: +0.183%; SSIM: +0.100%;
hdres set: PSNR: +0.168%; SSIM: +0.256%;

2.Average speed gain result:

shift the bsse[] member of the macroblock struct to the front to avoid
an incorrect offset (0) to the upper half of bsse[0] which leads to a
negative resulting in a crash. restrict this to visual studio versions
before 2015 (the bug was observed with 2013, fixed in 2015) to avoid any
potential cache impact on other platforms.

This patch implements the row-based multi-threading within tiles in
the encoding pass, and substantially speeds up the multi-threaded
encoder in VP9.
Speed tests at speed 1 on STDHD(using 4 tiles) set show that the
average speedups of the encoding pass(second pass in the 2-pass
encoding) is 7% while using 2 threads, 16% while using 4 threads,
85% while using 8 threads, and 116% while using 16 threads.

Previously Tx domain rd was used in all cases above speed 0.
Coefficient optimization was only enabled for best and speed 0.
This patch selectively sets these features at other speed settings
based on block complexity.
For the Netflix and HD sets in particular the quality gains are
large compared to the speed hit. At speed 1 the average psnr
gain in the NF set is > 2.5% with one clip coming in at 18%
and some points almost 30%. Average gains for the lower
resolution test sets are around 1%.
The gains are biggest at low Q so some further optimization
may be possible.

1. Skip golden non-zeromv and newmv-last for bsize >= 16x16 if the
temporal variance obtained from choose_partitioning is very low.
2. Skip horz and vert INTRA mode for speed 8.
This change works best on the clips with little noise and with some
motion (e.g. gips_motion which has > 5% speed up). PSNR drop is 1.78%
on rtc test set, no obvious visual quality regression found.

Skip intra-mode and some inter-modes (newmv, nearmv, nearestmv) for
golden frame if the variance got from choose_partitioning is very low.
Only for 1 pass real-time CBR mode and bsize >= 32x32, it has ~2.5%
speed up with less than 0.1% PSNR drop for rtc test set. Don't see
visual regression.

If a superblock contains alot of "skin" then force split
of 64x64 partition, and make some adjustments in mode selection.
This helps to reduce artifacts on moving face/skin areas at low bitrates.

Small encoding time increase < 1%.

This change alters the nature and use of exhaustive motion search.
Firstly any exhaustive search is preceded by a normal step search.
The exhaustive search is only carried out if the distortion resulting
from the step search is above a threshold value.
Secondly the simple +/- 64 exhaustive search is replaced by a
multi stage mesh based search where each stage has a range
and step/interval size. Subsequent stages use the best position from
the previous stage as the center of the search but use a reduced range
and interval size.
For example:
stage 1: Range +/- 64 interval 4
stage 2: Range +/- 32 interval 2
stage 3: Range +/- 15 interval 1
This process, especially when it follows on from a normal step
search, has shown itself to be almost as effective as a full range
exhaustive search with step 1 but greatly lowers the computational
complexity such that it can be used in some cases for speeds 0-2.
This patch also removes a double exhaustive search for sub 8x8 blocks
which also contained a bug (the two searches used different distortion
metrics).
For best quality in my test animation sequence this patch has almost
no impact on quality but improves encode speed by more than 5X.
Restricted use in good quality speeds 0-2 yields significant quality gains
on the animation test of 0.2 - 0.5 db with only a small impact on encode
speed. On most clips though the quality gain and speed impact are small.

This commit allows the encoder to account for additional chroma
plane costs in the mode decision process, if the current block
potentially contains significant color change. It improves the
visual quality at very low bit-rates.
The compression performance of dark720p is improved by 12.39% in
speed 6. For jimred at 150 kbps, the PSNR of V component (red)
increased by 0.2 dB, at the expense of about 5% increase in
encoding time. Note that for sequences where the chroma components
are fairly consistent, the encoding time increase is negligible.
On average the rtc set compression performance is improved by
1.172% in PSNR and 1.920% in SSIM.

This commit removes the cyclic aq mode dependency on
in_static_area and reworks the corresponding cut-off thresholds.
It improves the compression performance of speed -5 by 1.47% in
PSNR and 2.07% in SSIM, and the compression performance of speed
-6 by 3.10% in PSNR and 5.25% in SSIM. Speed wise, about 1% faster
in both settings at high bit-rates.

Adds various high bitdepth transform functions and tests.
Much of the changes are related to using typedefs tran_low_t
and tran_high_t for the final transform cofficients and intermediate
stages of the transform computation respectively rather than fixed
types int16_t/int. When vp9_highbitdepth configure flag is off,
these map tp int16_t/int32_t, but when the flag is on, they map
to int32_t/int64_t to make space for needed extra precision.
