Add ALLOW_RECODE_FIRST speed mode.
This patch is to address concerns that changes to allow
recodes on the first frame in each ARF group do not give a
good enough speed quality trade off for speed 2. Though the
average impact on encode speed is 1-2%, for some hard clips
it is > 5% rise. For speed 1 this is less an issue and for Speed 0
the previous patch actually improves speed.
Current commit is just an API template for the rest of the code, and
I will add inner logic later.
Altref frames generate a lot of bitrate and at the same time
other frames refer to them a lot, so it makes sense to apply
special compensation-based adaptive quantization scheme for altref
frames. E.g., for blocks that are good predictors for the future
apply rate-control chosen quantizer while for bad predictors apply
worse one.

In the future this option will activate adaptive quantization special
for altref frames. Encoder will create the adaptive quantization map
on the basis of lookahead buffers similarity which is the estimate of
the future motion compensation performance.

Remove halfpix specialization
This function only exists as a shortcut to subpixel variance with
predefined offsets. xoffset = 4 for horizontal, yoffset = 4 for vertical
and both for "hv"
Removing this allows the existing optimizations for the variance
functions to be called. Instead of having only sse2 optimizations, this
gives sse2, ssse3, msa and neon.

vp8: fix decoder crash with invalid leading keyframes
decoding the same invalid keyframe twice would result in a crash as the
second time through the decoder would be assumed to have been
initialized as there was no resolution change. in this case the
resolution was itself invalid (0x6), but vp8_peek_si() was only failing
in the case of 0x0.
invalid-vp80-00-comprehensive-018.ivf.2kf_0x6.ivf tests this case by
duplicating the first keyframe and additionally adds a valid one to
ensure decoding can resume without error.

Fix another motion vector out of range bug
This patch fixed a motion vector out of range bug:
vpxenc: ../libvpx/vp9/encoder/vp9_mcomp.c:69:
mv_cost: Assertion `mv->col >= -((1 << (11 + 1 + 2)) - 1) &&
mv->col < ((1 << (11 + 1 + 2)) - 1)' failed.
For blocks that returned without having full-pixel search, the original
MV limits were not restored, which caused the failure. Moved the set
MV limit function down to fix the bug.
_beginthreadex does not align the stack on 16-byte boundary as expected
by gcc.
On x86 targets, the force_align_arg_pointer attribute may be applied to
individual function definitions, generating an alternate prologue and
epilogue that realigns the run-time stack if necessary. This supports
mixing legacy codes that run with a 4-byte aligned stack with modern
codes that keep a 16-byte stack for SSE compatibility.

Don't expand to Q register for 4x4 intrapred
The code was expanding to Q registers so that vqrshn could be used, for
vector quad round shift and narrow. If 4 values are added together,
there is a shift by 2. If 8 values, a shift by 3. Since this accounts
for any possibility of overflow, we can skip the narrowing shift.
This allows keeping the values in D registers and casting the 16 bit
value to 8 bits.
