Combined non-rd motion searchs into a single function
This commit combined the full pel and sub pel motion search into a
single function to avoid code duplication. The commit does not change
encoder outputs.

Re-design quantization process for 32x32 transform block
This commit enables a new quantization process for 32x32 2D-DCT
transform coefficient blocks. It improves the compression
performance of speed 5 by 1.4%. The overall compression gains of
speed 5 due to the new quantization scheme is 4.7%. It also includes
the SSSE3 implementation of the 32x32 quantization process.

Fix decoder handling of intra-only frames
This patch fixes bug 633:
https://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=633
The first decoded frame does not have to be a keyframe,
it could be an inter-frame that is coded intra-only.
This patch fixes the handling of intra-only frames.
A test vector has also been added that encodes 3
intra-only frames at the start of the clip. The
test vector was generated using the code in the
following patch:

Vp9 denoiser MC bugfix
In the previous version, only certain buffers in the macroblockd were saved and
the restored. In this version, all of the buffers are saved and restored. The
code was then rolled into a loop for readability.
Also contains a tiny fix for when the -DOUTPUT_YUV_DENOISED flag is used.
Prepare for frame parallel decoding, the reference count buffers
need to be protected by mutex. Move vp9_thread.* to common
folder so that those buffers could use cross-platform mutex
from vp9_thread.*.

Cleanup motion search speed features.
* Replace max_step_search_steps with constant MAX_MVSEARCH_STEPS
* Fold (reduce_first_step_size + speed > 5) into reduce_first_step_size
replacing uses of reduce_first_step_size that don't add the speed
check with zero.

Split vp9_rdopt into vp9_rdopt and vp9_rd.
vp9_rdopt is for making rd optimal mode decisions. vp9_rd is for all
other rd related routines. Anything used outside of making an rd optimal
decision belongs in rd.

Fix rd threshold overflow issue
Moved the threshold adjustment before reference flag checking,
which could set the threshold to INT_MAX for disabled reference

VP9 denoiser implemented FILTER_BLOCK case
Renamed updating_running_avg() to filter(). Extended function with the rest of

VP8 into functions so they can be tweaked more easily.

VP9 denoising enabled by noise_sensitivity param
As in VP8.
Currently, this parameter is set with the VP8E_SET_NOISE_SENSITIVITY flag.
The flag was not renamed so that we don't break the interface for webrtc. This
should probably be changed at some point in the future.
Added a speed feature controlling a motion search parameter
This commit added a speed feature to control the step_param used in

Re-design quantization process
This commit re-designs the quantization process for transform
coefficient blocks of size 4x4 to 16x16. It improves compression

The average runtime of the 8x8 block quantization is reduced

Elevate NEWMV mode checking threshold in real time
The current threshold is knid of low, and in many cases NEWMV

Enable encode breakout in real time
For real time speed 7, once encode breakout is on(i.e. encoding

psnr loss of 0.162%, but ssim gain of 0.287%. The average speedup
on RTC set is 6%, and for some clips, the speedup can be 10+%.
