This requires moving VPX_NO_RETURN before function declarations because

declarations.

Disallow skipping transform and quantization
The encoder has a feature to skip transform and quantization based
on model rd analysis. It could happen that the model
based analysis lets the encoder skips transform and quantization, while
a bad prediction occurs, leading to bad reconstructed blocks, which
are intrusive and apparently coding errors.
We add a speed feature to guard the skipping feature.
Due to the risk of bad perceptual quality, we disallow such skipping
by default.
On hdres test set, speed 2, the coding performance difference is 0.025%,
speed difference is 1.2%, which can be considered non significant.

L2E: properly init two pass rc parameters
Two pass rc parameters are only initialized in the second pass
in vp9 normal two pass encoding.
However, the simple_encode API queries the keyframe group, arf group,
and number of coding frames without going throught the two pass
route.
Since recent libvpx rc changes, parameters in the TWO_PASS
struct have a great influence on the determination of the above
information.
We therefore need to properly init two pass rc parameters in
the simple_encode related environment.

Further normalization of Vizier parameters.
Further changes to normalize the Vizier command line parameters.
The intent is that the default behavior for any given parameter
is signaled by the value 1.0 (expressed on the command line as a
rational).
The final values used in the two pass code are obtained by multiplying
the passed in factors by a default values if use_vizier_rc_params is 1.
Where use_vizier_rc_params is 0 the values are explicitly set to
the defaults.
This patch also changes the default value of each parameter to 1.0
even if not set explicitly. This should ensure safe /default behavior
if the user sets use_vizier_rc_params to 1 but does not set all the
the individual parameters.
Add command line options for three rd parameters.
They are controlled by --use_vizier_rc_params, together with
other rc parameters.
If not set from command line, current default values will be used.
If pass --use-vizier-rc-params=1, the rc parameters are overwittern
by pass in values. It --use-vizier-rc-params=0, the rc parameters
remain the default values.
