Tile based adaptive mode search in RD loop
Make the spatially adaptive mode search in rate-distortion

This patch allocated frame contexts outside VP9_COMMON. This allows
multiple threads to share the same copy of frame contexts, and
reduces the overhead. It also guarantees the correct update of
these contexts during bitstream packing. This patch doesn't change

Hybrid partition search for rtc coding mode
This commit re-designs the recursive partition search scheme in
rtc speed -5. It first checks if the current block is under cyclic
refresh mode. If so, apply recursive partition search. Otherwise,
perform sub-sampled pixel based partition selection. When the
pre-selection finds the partition size should be 32x32 or above,
use the partition size directly. Otherwise, apply partition search
at nearby levels around the preset partition size.
It is enabled in speed -5. The compression performance of rtc
speed -5 is improved by 9.4%. Speed wise, the run-time goes slower
from 1% to 10%.

Remove the dependency in token storing locations
Currently, the tokens for a tile are stored immediately after its
preceding tile, which causes a dependency. This is unnecessary
since we always allocate enough memory for tokens. Removing
the dependency allows token writing done in parallel. This patch

Alter adjustment of two pass GF/ARF boost with Q.
Delete gfboost_qadjust() and move Q based adjustment
into calc_frame_boost(). Also remove clamping. Making
the adjustment here means that it influences not just the
boost level but also the selection of the GF/ARF interval.
This change gives a small average gain in PSNR but
larger gains in SSIM, especially for harder std-hd set (1.5%)

This removes an unnecessary restriction that causes
a problem (noticed by AWG) when the forced key frame
interval is set to a very small value, such as 10. In this case
we were being forced to code minimal length GF groups.

[spatial svc]Another workaround to avoid using prev_mi
We encode a empty invisible frame in front of the base layer frame to
avoid using prev_mi. Since there's a restriction for reference frame
scaling factor, we have to make it smaller and smaller gradually until
its size is 16x16.
This change has introduced a significant quality regression on content
with forced key frames. (e.g. the YT and yt-hd set). It is most
noticeable in static content where the kf bits dominate. Here, despite
key frames being apparently coded at the same Q, there is a drop in all
metrics of ~20% (e.g clXR and BFa0).

Move the point at which input frames are scaled

higher resolution.
A following patch will implement a scheme for
