Add a speed feature to give the tighter search range
Add a speed feature to give the tighter partition search
range. Before partition search, calculate the histogram
of the partition sizes of the left, above and previous
co-located blocks of the current block. If the variance of
observed partition sizes is small enough, adjust the search
range around the mean partition size, which will be tigher.
The feature is currently turned on at speed 2. Experiments on
sample youtube clips show on average the runtime is reduced
by 3-7%.
For hard stdhd clips:
park_joy_1080p @ 15000kbps: 509251 ms -> 491953 ms (3.3%)
pedestrian_area_1080p @ 2000kbps: 223941 ms -> 214226 ms (4.3%)

derf: -0.112%
yt: -0.099%
hd: -0.090%
stdhd:-0.102%

Modify zero_mv bias condition to include check that "closest" reference is last_frame.
This is needed for temporal layers, where the last_frame is not always the closest reference.
Also, constain zeromv_count to be for last_frame reference.

get_ref_frame: fix test for valid buffer.
In the current implementation of the encoder,
frame buffers may come from the wider set of
12 such buffers, and is not restricted to the
8 allowed as reference frames. This is only
an implementation detail and does not affect
the constraint of having a total of 8 reference
buffers overall.

On Windows, a temporary file is created in the temp directory
that has write permissions.
