The previous ext-refs experiment did not consider the cost of the 2nd
reference frame on mode decision in the compound mode. With the fix,
using Overall PSNR, compared to the previous ext-refs RD performance
before the bug fix, all against the baseline, the improvements are:
"ext-refs" before fix: lowres -5.665% midres: -4.833%
"ext-refs" after fix: lowres -5.776% midres: -5.000%
Improvement by the fix: lowres -0.111% midres: -0.167%
