Use normal rate_correction_factor for gf in CBR mode
I0c5f010 changed to allow update golden reference buffer in CBR mode,
this commit changes the use of rate_correction_factor for those frames
to be aligned with the new usage. This commit attempts to solve two
issues:
a. Initialization of rate correction factor for Golden Frame
Prior to this patch, even the regular inter frame has been update
the rate correction factor based on content and encoding results,
the first golden frame would still use the ininitialized value
that can be way off.
b. Allowing rate correction factor update to be slightly faster
Prior to this patch, when the rate correction factor is off, the
update to the factor is too slow, the factor could not get close
to a semi-correct value even after many frames.
The commit helps all clips in psnr/ssim metric, but especially to
a few clip in RTC set that rate correction was way off. For example
thaloundeskmtgvga gained about .5dB for both overall/average psnr.

Vidyo: Support for one-pass rc-enabled SVC encoder
Adds support for one-pass rc-enabled SVC encoder with callbacks for

- the callback function registration is implemented as an encoder
control function.
- if the callback function is not registered, the old way of
aggregating packets with superframe will take effect.
- one more control function “VP9E_GET_SVC_LAYER_ID” has been
implemented to get the temporal/spatial id from the encoder
within the callback. This can be used to get the ids to put on RTP

Add intra complexity and brightness weight to first pass.
The aim of this patch is to apply a positive weighting to
frames that have a significant number of blocks that are
of low spatial complexity and are dark. The rationale behind
this is that artifacts tend to be more visible in such frames.
In this patch the weight is only applied in regard to the distribution
of bits between frames. Hence if all the frames share similar
characteristics (as is the case for most of our short test clips) there
will be little or no net effect.
However, the effect can be seen on some longer form test content.
For example Tears of steel baseline test:
2323.09 Kbit/s opsnr 39.915 ssim 74.729
With this patch:-
2213.34 Kbit/s opsnr 39.963 ssim 74.808

The weighting may well need some further tuning along side changes
to the aq modes.

Allow update of golden refernce buffer in CBR mode
This commit changes to allow the usage of golden reference frame in
VP9 CBR mode to improve quality. VP9 supports potentially up to 8
reference buffers, it has reference buffers available for this
purpose. This was not possible in VP8 as golden and alt-ref buffers
were used for temporal scalability purpose in CBR mode in WebRTC.
For frames that update golden frame, there can be a quality boost.
The amount of allowed bitrate boost can be controlled via parameter
rc_max_inter_bitrate_pct. The inital value of the boost ratior is
currently based on over_shoot_pct. Further experiments will work
out the adaption of this boost value.

Relax maximum Q for extreme overshoot.
Added code to relax the active maximum Q in response
to extreme local overshoot to reduce bandwidth peaks.
The impact is small in metrics terms, but it this helps reduce
bandwidth spikes and overall overshoot in a number of
clips in our tests sets (especially the YT test set).
In particular this should help prevent very big spikes where a clip
is mainly easy but has a short hard section. In such a case a choice
of maximum Q for the clip as a whole may allow us to hit the overall
target rate but give some extreme spikes. The chunked encoding in YT
mitigates this problem but it can show up where a longer clip is
coded as a single chunk.
