Add adaptation option for VBR.
Allow min and maxQ to creep when the undershoot
or overshoot exceeds thresholds controlled by the
command line under_shoot_pct and over_shoot_pct
values.
Default is 100%,100% which ~disables adaptation.
Derf results for example undershoot% / overshoot%:-
Head:- Mean abs (%rate error) = 14.4%
This check in:-
25%/25% - Mean abs (%rate error) = 6.7%
PSNR hit -1% SSIM -0.1%
5% / 5% - Mean abs (%rate error) = 2.2%
PSNR hit -3.3% SSIM - 1.1%
Most of the remaining error and most of the quality hit is
at extreme data rates. The adaptation code still has an
exception for material that is in effect static so that we
don't over adjust and over spend on YT slide show type
content.

Subpel search cleanups and enhancements
- Some fixes to surface fit.
- Returns variance function as cost rather than sad in the
pattern search and diamond search functions. Only
vp9_pattern_search_sad function used in bigdia search
uses sad as integer 1-away costs.
- Deploys SUBPEL_TREE_PRUNED_MORE for speed 4+.
Results:
derf [Speed 3]: About +0.036% in coding efficiency without any
discernible speed loss.
derf [Speed 4]: About 2-3% faster at -0.199% loss in coding efficiency.
derf [Speed 5]: About 3-4% faster at -0.149% loss in coding efficiency.

Allow mode search breakout at very low prediction errors
In model_rd_for_sb function, the spatial domain SSE and variance
are checked to see if transform coefficients are quantized to 0.
Besides that, this patch adds another set of thresholds that are
much more strict. These thresholds are used to conduct a partition
block level check to measure if all its TX blocks are skippable
for YUV planes. If it is true, x->skip is set for this partition
block, and thus its mode search is terminated.
This speeds up the encoding at very low prediction error case,
such as screen sharing application. This patch covers what
rd_encode_breakout_test() does, so that function is removed.
Borg test at speed 3 shows:
For stdhd set, psnr: +0.008%, ssim: +0.014%;
For derf set, psnr: +0.018%, ssim: +0.025%.
No noticeable speed change.

vp8: Suppress denoising with respect to old reference frames.
If the GOLDEN or ALTREF frame was last updated > x frames in the past,
don't use them for denoising (only consider LAST). Using an old reference
frame for denoising, e.g., if it is a long-term reference or the last key frame,
can cause some visible artifacts, in particular in the aggressive denoising mode.

Fix src frame buffer copy and extend
For input source with size that is not multiple of 8, the size is
rounded to 8 and saved in width or height, the original source sizes
are saved in crop_width and crop_height. This commit corrects the
computation of bottom and right extension amounts to use the orignal
sizes, hence crop_width and crop_height.
In addition, this commit also adds the missed initialization for
uv_crop_width and uv_crop_height.

experimental : partition using 1/8 x 1/8 image
The concept:
There's too much noise in source pixels for variance and at low bitrate
the reconstructed looks nothing like the source so we have problems
getting good partitionings with either. This skirts the issue by using
a box blur scaled down version for variance calculations. To compare
against source_var_ moved keyframe to be rd based like source_var.
