Optimize apply_temporal_filter function
This patch optimized apply_temporal_filter function. The diff^2 for each
pixel in the 16x16 block is calculated once beforehand, so that we don't
calculate it multiple times while evaluating a pixel's neighbors. This
would speed up the function.

Call tpl model build at the beginning of a GOP
The gop index 0 is default as kf / gf. The effective first coding

Call the tpl model build for the current GOP once at index 1

Correct a for loop in init_ref_frame_bufs.
The cm->ref_frame_map and pool->frame_bufs arrays are of different sizes
(REF_FRAMES and FRAME_BUFFERS, respectively), so init_ref_frame_bufs()
cannot iterate over these two arrays using the same for loop.
This "misinformation" may make scan-build warn about the ref_cnt_fb()
function's use of its 'bufs' argument (Dereference of null pointer) when
we pass pool->frame_bufs to ref_cnt_fb().
Rewriting the above code as:
if (buf_idx != INVALID_IDX) {
buf = &pool->frame_bufs[buf_idx];
not only is clearer but also avoids confusing scan-build.

Force even arf group length where possible.
This patch tweaks the calculation of the active maximum GF interval
and also the break out clause for the GF interval loop. The changes
force the maximum and where possible the break out value to be odd
which in turn will result in an even length ARF group if ARF coding is
selected (vs GF only coding).
The primary aim was to improve coding with multi layer arf groups.
For the single layer case there are small net gains in 3 out of 4 sets
(low,md, hd) and a small net drop for the NF2K set.
For multi-layer the gains (opsnr, ssim, psnr-hvs : -ve = better) were:-

Add ml_var_partition experiment
Make partition decisions using machine learning models. The goal is to
achieve better coding quality than the variance-based parititioning
without much encoding speed loss.
To enable this experiment, use --enable-ml-var-partition for config.
When eanbled, the variance-based partitioning is replaced by this ML
based partitioing for speed 6 and above in real time mode(except low
resolution or high bit-depth).
This is badly broken and may help somewhat for multi-layer but is hurting
massively in single layer encodes.
I ran this through this morning and while it often helps in SSIM it is badly down
for global PSNR and PSNR-HVS with some clips down by 35-40%. This is in line
with previous experiments where I have found that a bigger boost helps SSIM
but hurts PSNR and PSNR HVS.
I was also working on changes to the I factor that gave some improvements
in single layer though these were based upon the active Q mostly. I also have
looked at a bug for the first group where int_lbq is not properly defined and
will submit an interim patch for this while I look for a better solution.
In the meantime I think we should revert this.
The (Global PSNR, SSIM, PSNR-HVS) for the patch as is in my runs for
single layer vs a couple of days ago seem to be (-ve is better).

Adapt GOP size threshold to the allowed layer depth
Increase the total prediction error budget linearly with the
allowed ARF layer depth. This in general improves the compression
performance, but does hit corner cases on a few clips at very
low bit-rate range (corresponding to 26 - 28 dB range). To mitigate
such problem, we temporarily work around this problem by limiting
the first GOP size to be ~8 so as to not drain up the bit resource.

clips remain largely identical coding statistics.
