Immediately following a key frame the trailing second reference
error in the first pass stats will be based on a reference frame from
the prior key frame group and will thus usually be much larger.
This fix eliminates that effect (which typically triggers a short arf
group immediately after a key frame). It also changes the accounting
for the first frame in each new arf group.
This change gives large gains on a couple of clips that contain mid
sequence key frames (e.g. 6% on 1080P tennis). Overall there was
a net gain in PSNR and PSNR-HVS ~(0.05- 0.4%) and mixed results for
SSIM (+/- 0.2%).
