vp9: Add feature to copy partition from the last frame.
Add feature to copy partition from the last frame.
The copy is only done under certain conditions that SAD is below threshold.
Feature is currently disabled, until threshold is tuned.
Feature will be initially used for Speed 8 (ARM).
Under extreme case of always copying partition for speed 8:
Encode time is reduced by 5.4% on rtc_derf and 7.8% on rtc.
Overall PSNR reduced by 2.1 on rtc_derf and 0.968 on rtc.

Simplify address arithmetic in vp9_optimize_b
Simplify address arithmetic on token_costs to reduce the number of generated
instructions that are used for address arithmetic inside routine
vp9_optimize_b. It also helps improve instruction scheduling depending on
compiler and optimization level.
Measured a 9.3% reduction in retired instructions and 5.3% reduction in
execution time for this routine with GCC v4.8.4 and optimization flags -O3,
and a reduction of up to 11.6% in execution time with other compilers.
No change in behavior.
TEST=Verified that encoded files match bit for bit, with and without this
change.

vp8 : use threading mutex's for tsan only.
To avoid decode performance hit of 2% when running on hyperthreaded
cores.
This patch only uses the mutex's when we are running tsan.
This is safe because 32 bit operations like read and store are atomic
on all the platforms we care about. Tsan warns about race situations,
but in this case either situation ( read occurs before write or write
before read) the worst case is that we go around one extra time in the
loop. So the ordering doesn't really matter.
That said a few other things have been tried :
for instance as per here:
webrtc/base/atomicops.h#52
In this patch they use:
__atomic_load_n(i, __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE);
__atomic_store_n(i, value, __ATOMIC_RELEASE);
This code works on gcc, clang ( replacing protected write and read), and
avoids tsan errors. Incurring no penalty in performance. In C11 its
replaced by straight atomic operands.
However there is no equivalent in the visual studio's we support as
int32 on all windows platforms is already atomic. To avoid tsan like
warnings on windows we'd need to use interlocked exchange and the
end result doesn't gain us any thing.
