Revert "Prevent double application of min rate in two pass."

This reverts commit 416b7051d7f610ed6d62dff18af7776ec520fd9c.

Reason for revert: it causes visual quality drop as described in b/112953058.

Original change's description:
> Prevent double application of min rate in two pass.
>
> The initial allocation of bits in the two pass code to each frame
> should be within the min max limits on the command line. However,
> when forming an ARF group the cost of the ARF is shared by frames
> in that group such that the residual bits for a frame could drop below
> the min value. This change prevents the minimum being re-applied
> after the cost of the ARF has been deducted as this may otherwise
> cause low rate sections to overshoot their target.
>
> Test runs comparing to a baseline run with min and max section pct
> 0-2000% vs one closer to the YT use case (50-150%) suggest that
> this fix not only results in better rate control but also gives a better
> rd outcome.
>
> For example the HD set vs 0-2000% baseline (opsnr, ssim).
> Old code (50-150):  +0.751, +1.099
> New code(50-150): +0.241, -0.009
