Improves constant qual, constrained qual turned on
Adds modeled functions to decide the qp for altref frames in constant q
mode similar to other functions in use in bitrate mode.
Also turns on the constrained quality mode (end-usage=2) option which
was turned off before. Basic testing shows the mode works in principle,
to cap bitrate to the target-bitrate specified, while allowing lower
bitrate depending on the cq-level specified. The mode will need to be
improved over time.
Results for constant quality vs bitrate control mode:
derfraw300/fullderfraw: +3.0% at constant quality over bitrate control.
fullstdhdraw: +4.341%
stdhdraw250: +5.361%

Remove redundant mv_pred use for sub8x8 blocks
The sub8x8 blocks has its own motion vector reference scheme. The
mv_pred is only used blocks of sizes 8x8 and above, to find the
starting point for motion search.
This change does not change any coding behavior. It makes the
encoding process slightly faster. (0.5% speed-up for local test on
speed 1.)

Fix x86inc.asm to build PIC code correctly
Current x86inc.asm didn't handle 32bit PIC build properly.
TEXTRELs were seen in the library built. The PIC macros from
libvpx's x86_abi_support.asm was used to fix this problem.
The assembly code was modified to use the macros.
Notes: We need this fix in for decoder building. Functions in
encoder will be fixed later.

Fix failure to copy data files if content changes
Jenkins was failing to detect the case where an existing
file is recreated with new content. In this case, thinking
that the file already existed, Jenkins did not re-copy the
file as it should have.
By adding the file test-data.sha1 as a dependendency to
the LIBVPX_TEST_DATA build target the files will be
recopied if the MD5 of an existing file changes.
This could be further improved to only copy files that
have changed rather than copying the whole set as done in
this patch.
(Thanks to jzern@ who diagnozed ithe problem and suggested
this fix).
The commit added reset of pred_mv at the beginning of each SB64x64
partition mv search, also limited the usage of pred_mv only when
search on the largest partition is already done. This is to fix
a crash at speed 1/2 encoder where an invalid mv is used in mv
search.

Adaptive motion search control
This commit enables adaptive constraint on motion search range for
smaller partitions, given the motion vectors of collocated larger
partition as a candidate initial search point.
It makes speed 0 runtime of bus at CIF and 2000 kbps goes from
167s down to 162s (3% speed-up), at 0.01dB performance gains. In
the settings of speed 1, this makes the runtime goes from 33687 ms
to 32142 ms (4.5% speed-up), at 0.03dB performance gains.
Compression performance wise, it gains at speed 1:
derf 0.118%
yt 0.237%

Stop partition checking when distortion is small
If the current obtained distortion is very small, which happens
for static image case, we pick the current partition type without
further split checking.
This won't affect regular videos. For static videos, we got 10%~12%

others. Overall it was even.

Modify encode breakout for static frames
Thank Paul for the suggestions. While turning on static-thresh
for static-image videos, a big jump on bitrate was seen. In this
patch, we detected static frames in the video using first-pass

encode breakout threshold to limit the skipping.
More modification need be done to break incorrect partition

Modified mode skip functionality.
A previous speed feature skipped modes not used in earlier
partitions but this not longer worked as intended following
changes to the partition coding order and in conjunction
with some other speed features (Especially speed 2 and above).
This modified mode skip feature sets a mask after the first X
modes have been tested in each partition depending on the
reference frame of the current best case.
This patch also makes some changes to the order modes are
