Skip the partition search for the frame with no motion
This patch allows the encoder to skip the partition search for the
frame if it is an inter frame and only zero motion vectors have
been detected in the first pass. The partition size is directly
assigned according to the difference variance.
Borg tests show overall little performance changes in term of PSNR
(derf -0.027%, yt 0.152%, hd 0.078%, stdhd 0%). The worst case of
PSNR loss is -0.514% from yt. The best PSNR gain is 4.293% from yt.
The second pass encoding speedup for slideshow clips is 15%-40%.

Enable real-time version reference motion vector search
This commit enables a fast reference motion vector search scheme.
It checks the nearest top and left neighboring blocks to decide the
most probable predicted motion vector. If it finds the two have
the same motion vectors, it then skip finding exterior range for
the second most probable motion vector, and correspondingly skips
the check for NEARMV.

Make non-RD intra mode search txfm size dependent
This commit fixes the potential issue in the non-RD mode decision
flow that only checks part of the block to estimate the cost. It
was due to the use of fixed transform size, in replacing the
largest transform block size. This commit enables per transform
block cost estimation of the intra prediction mode in the non-RD
mode decision.

Fix test on maximum downscaling limits
There is a normative scaling range of (x1/2, x16)

The code used a maximum downscaling limit of x1/5
for historic reasons related to the scalable
coding work. Since the downsampling in this

using a separate non-normative scaler.

Experiment for mid group second arf.
This patch implements a mechanism for inserting a second

It is currently disabled by default using the flag multi_arf_enabled.
Results are currently down somewhat in initial testing if

fact that code to preserve the previous golden frame
(in the arf buffer) in cases where we are coding an overlay
frame, is currently disabled in the multi-arf case.

Allocate buffers based on correct chroma format
The encoder currently allocates frame buffers before
it establishes what the chroma sub-sampling factor is,
always allocating based on the 4:4:4 format.
This patch detects the chroma format as early as
possible allowing the encoder to allocate buffers of
the correct size.
Future patches will change the encoder to allocate
frame buffers on demand to further reduce the memory
profile of the encoder and rationalize the buffer
management in the encoder and decoder.

Add superframe support for frame parallel decoding.
A superframe is a bunch of frames that bundled as one frame. It is mostly
used to combine one or more non-displayable frames and one displayable frame.
For frame parallel decoding, libvpx decoder will only support decoding one
normal frame or a super frame with superframe index.
If an application pass a superframe without superframe index or a chunk
of displayable frames without superframe index to libvpx decoder, libvpx
will not decode it in frame parallel mode. But libvpx decoder still could
decode it in serial mode.
