vp9: Modify logic for flat blocks in nonrd-pickmode.
For real-time screen content mode: when slide change
is detected, for spatially flat blocks (source_variance = 0) on
the re-encoded frame, skip inter modes (so force intra) if
non-zero temporal variance is detected for the coding block.
Add flag to keep track of re-encoded frame at max Q.
Reduces artifacts on slide change.

Add prune_ref_frame_for_rect_partitions feature
Add a speed feature to prune reference frames for rectangular
partitions. Rectangular partition RD search happens after square
partition RD search. With this feature, we keep record of the ref
frames picked by square partitions, and only consider those ref
frames during rect partition RD search.
With this feature on, the computation cost of rect partition RD
search is greatly reduced, so we can afford to skip rect partition
RD search less aggressively.
Overall, both compression and encoding speed are improved. Only
speed 0 is affected.
This commit adds a command line argument "--row-mt". Passing "--row-mt=1" will
set the row_mt flag in the decoder context. This flag will be used to
determine whether row-wise multi-threading path is to be taken when the
row-wise multi-threading functions are added.

Fixed "MAX" boost for static kf sections.
Apply a fixed maximum boost for static key frame

Fix issue with short static KF groups.
Where a KF group is very short but static make sure
it is coded as a single GF group. Previously there was a

Improved coding on slide show content.
This patch adds in detection of slide show content and allows
for coding of long GF only groups up to a length of 240 frames rather
than coding a large number of shorter ARF groups that gradually
lower the Q.
In test samples this patch gave rise to a substantial improvement in
overall psnr and a drop in data rate. In some cases the average psnr
fell, however, with the boost and minQ values set as they are.
This is to be expected because average psnr is dominated by the
best frames in the sequence and previously a relatively poor key frame
could be followed by progressively better alt refs. For example a key
frame at q7.5 but subsequent alt refs improving it to lossless.
For slides displayed for several seconds, savings of >= 20% (or
commensurate quality gains) are likely.
This patch allows for long GF groups in static sections before and after
complex transitions (e.g. fades) with one or more normal ARF groups
during the transition. However, it enforces a single "normal" length
GF group after the transition before any extended group is allowed.
The reason for this is that the ARF that spans the transition my not have
a very high quality and hence may not be a good GF for the long static
section that follows.

Use existing control to enable intra_only frame.
Intra only is only applied to base spatial layer, and only

Added svc datarate unittest for inserting intra_only frame
as sync frame. Added svc end to end tests to check mismatch.
