vp9: fix memory alloc for adaptive_rd_thresh_row_mt.
When the feature is enabled and the memory is not available, allocate
it. There was a case where speed feature changed in the middle of stream
but the number of tiles stayed the same, memory was not re-allocated.
Another case is where speed for base layer is different than that of
higher quality layers (same resolution). Removed the speed constraints
forcing base layer using same speed setting.
Thus the memory for adaptive_rd_thresh_row_mt stayed NULL but the
feature was enabled.

vp9-svc: Fixes for cyclic refresh for SVC.
Add metrics that are being updated per-frame to
the layer struct, so each layer using the cyclic
refresh has the correct update. This is more consistent
for the rate control and refresh rate.
Some improvement in screen content clips.
Neutral for SVC on rtc set.

vp9-svc: Fix to updated SET_SVC_REF_FRAME_CONFIG control
Add flag to separate two cases of bypass (flexible) SVC mode:
usage of using the SET_SVC_REF_FRAME_CONFIG vs passing in the
frame_flags in the vpx_encode (only used for temporal layers).

vp9: Allow for overshoot detection for non-screen CBR mode.
For CBR real-time mode: refactor usage of speed feature to
handle overshoot on slide/scene change. Add 2 modes to indicate
how slide/scene change is processed for re-setting Q/rate control.
Keep the speed setting to 1 for speed >= 5, otherwise set to 0.
Video content and screen content are now handled in similar way,
though with different thresholds.
Some fixes to thresholds and reset: correct the reset of the buffer
level to optimal level for each temporal layer, if scene change
frame will be encoded at max_q.
Also increase the min_thresh for video mode (non-screen content):
this is to avoid scene change detection on cases like large
lighting changes, cameras focus. And increase in min_thresh
makes it more robust to sudden increase in noise level.

vp9-svc: Fix for scene detection for SVC
For spatial layers: use the correct mi_cols/rows in the
scene detection. The scene detection for spatial layers
is only called once per superframe, but we were using wrong
mi_cols/rows (those for base spatial were being used).
Also increase frame_since_key threshold to account for spatial
layers.

loop_filter_rows_mt: use sb_rows to limit workers
Previously if the number of tiles decreased within a clip and there were
fewer super block rows than workers the mi_row calculation would cause
rows to be skipped. The num_workers stored is the max allocated amount,
use sb_rows to limit the active ones if the row count is smaller as
additional threads will provide no benefit.

vp9: Disable re_encode_overshoot feature for speed >= 6.
For real-time screen content mode: for speed >= 6 disable
the re_encode_overshoot feature. This means for speed >= 6
the Q and rate control is reset on slide changes based on
the scene/slide detection and the current Q (and not on a
first pass encoded frame at current Q).
This reduces encode time on slide changes, but may be less
accurate in deciding when to reset/max-out the Q.

Compression change is neutral. Encoding speed can be a little faster
