vp9-svc: Allow for setting frame drop thresholds per layer.
Add encoder control to set the frame drop thresholds per
spatial layer, and add a frame drop mode: 0 = per-layer drop,
and 1 = constrained drop mode (a drop on a given layer forces
drops to all upper layers).
Default is mode 0 (per-layer dropping).
Implementation for mode 1 will come in subsequent change.
If the control is not used, then the spatial layer frame
drop thresholds (water mark) are all equal and set to the value
given by the encoder config (oxcf->drop_frames_water_mark).
Even on x86_64, emms has to be called if the x87 state has
been clobbered - the calling code (either within libvpx or
in a caller outside of libvpx) may be using the x87 instructions,
even though use of them isn't all that common on x86_64.

vp9 svc frame drop: enable adaptive rd for row mt.
adaptive_rd_threshold_mt is set to 1 when speed >= 7 for SVC.
QVGA in SVC uses speed 5 which set adaptive_rd_threshold_mt to 0.
If VGA or HD is dropped for the last super frame, the flag is still 0
when the encoder is destroyed. Thus memory won't be released.

vp9-svc: Improve frame dropper for spatial layers.
SVC frame dropper: modify the logic to allow for individual
spatial layers to drop. This removes the constraint that all
upper spatial layers must drop when a given spatial layer drops.
Add a flag to the pkt to indicate whether a spatial layer is
encoded or dropped. This is needed for applications that enable
this feature (frame dropping for SVC).
For a current spatial layer, if its previous spatial layer is
dropped, then disable certain features for that layer:
inter-layer prediction, base_mv, partition_reuse, copy partition.
Also add the constraint to never drop a spatial layer if its
base layer is a key frame.
Updates to sample encoder (vp9_spatial_svc_encoder) and the
SVC datarate unittests to properly handle frame dropping.
Bump up ABI version.

vp9-svc: Frame dropper for SVC.
If a given spatial layer decides to drop, due to the
buffer/overshoot conditions for that layer, then drop
that current spatial layer and all spatial layers above.
In the current implementation the svc frame counter
(and hence the pattern for the non-flexible SVC case)
are updated on frame drops.
Also add last spatial layer encoded to the pkt.
This is useful for RTC applications that enable
frame dropping for SVC.
Update to the SVC datarate tests:
enabled frame dropper on all SVC datarate tests, and
made a fix to properly set the temporal_layer_id, which
works now even on frame drops.
Reason for revert:
this should be investigated further to ensure the memset is really
necessary outside of the static analysis pass.

Fix a bug when middle and top spatial layer are skip encoded

Issue is that pending_frame_count in the packing may
be incremented on middle layer, even though that layer is skipped
(not encoded and hence zero size). Fix is to add size check.

Change to KF frame boost calculation.
This change is targeted mainly at higher resolutions where typically
the average error per MB is much smaller. hence this patch replaces
a fixed error per MB factor with a tiered value.
It also adds in a fixed offset value that acts as a minimum return score.
Note also minor fix to debug stats output.
The results are overall beneficial (-ve) on our test sets, most notably for
higher definition formats (see below - overall psnr, ssim, psnr hvs)
The most notable negative case is pierseaside 2K which appears to be worse by
8-10% (which has a big impact on the overall gain for the NF 2K set). Closer
inspection reveals that the drop does not relate to the key frame boost
per se as in both cases the key frame substantially undershoots its target. Rather
this is a side effect relating to the initial Q range allowed for the key frame and
a poor initial complexity estimate. This will hopefully be improved in a later
patch.
