Fixing a bug in obmc prediction in the rd loop
This bug made the rd loop use one-side obmc (compound of the current

vp9-real-time mode: Fix condition for allowing reference masking.
Add frame-level condition for reference masking: under external or
internal dynamic resize, allow for reference masking if none of
the references have been scaled.
Peviously, reference masking was turned off for the stream if dynamic
resize feature was enabled or an external resize event occurred.
reference_masking gives speed up with little/no loss in compression.
For speed 7 on rtc set: encoding time decreases by about 5-7%,
avgPSNR/SSIM goes down ~0.2%.

Using this we can eliminate large numbers of calls to predict intra,

Adds a wiener filter based restoration scheme in loop which can
be optionally selected instead of the bilateral filter.
The LMMSE filter generated per frame is a separable symmetric 7
tap filter. Three parameters for each of horizontal and vertical
filters are transmitted in the bitstream. The fourth parameter
is obtained assuming the sum is normalized to 1.
Also integerizes the bilateral filters, along with other
refactoring necessary in order to support the new switchable
restoration type framework.
derflr: -0.75% BDRATE
[A lot of videos still prefer bilateral, however since many frames
now use the simpler separable filter, the decoding speed is
much better].
Further experiments to follow, related to replacing the bilateral.
