VP9: turn on tile-columns and frame-parallel-mode by default
Most of the current decoders use tile-based multithreading. Also
most of the current decoders need frame_parallel_decoding_mode
turned on to enable multithreaded decoding. tile-columns is
limited by resolution, so setting to max (6) is fine.

Use variance metric for integral projection vector match
This commit replaces the SAD with variance as metric for the
integral projection vector match. It improves the search accuracy
in the presence of slight light change. The average speed -6
compression performance for rtc set is improved by 1.7%. No speed
changes are observed for the test clips.

Fix source frame border extension
This commit fixes an issue in source frame border extension. It
causes certain frame resolution such as 640x480 to have a portion
of the right/bottom extension filled by zeros, which misleads
motion search and degrades transform coding performance when large
block size is used.
This fix improves the speed 2 compression performance of a few
yt sequence, typically ranging from 1% - 2%, up to 5% at median
to low bit-rate.

Fix ssse3 quantize_fp functions while skip=1
In ssse3 functions, DEFINE_ARGS macro hard codes qcoeff and dqcoeff

Currently, skip=1 case is not used in the encoder. This patch fixed

Account for rate error in GF group Q calculation.
When GF group adaptive maxQ is enabled this patch accounts
somewhat for accumulated error in the rate control.
This improves accuracy quite a bit on many clips especially
when there is overshoot.
Examples when the overshoot and undershoot command line
parameters are set to 100:
Hall @ 1200 overshoot is reduced from 67-24%.
Akiyo @ 400 undershoot is reduced from 28%-15%.
Setting a lower value for undershoot or overshoot still
reduces the error further.
Impact on metrics is mixed with some gains in average psnr
but generally a little lower (e.g. 0.5%) on overall and ssim.
The GF group adaptation is still off by default in this patch.
Compared to with the head, enabling this mode now gives
big average psnr gains on the YT sets (e.g. YT_HD >11.2%),
a drop in overall PSNR (YT-HD 3.9%) and a smaller drop or
neutral for SSIM.

Integral projection based motion estimation
This commit introduces a new block match motion estimation
using integral projection measurement. The 2-D block and the nearby
region is projected onto the horizontal and vertical 1-D vectors,
respectively. It then runs vector match, instead of block match,
over the two separate 1-D vectors to locate the motion compensated
reference block.
This process is run per 64x64 block to align the reference before
choosing partitioning in speed 6. The overall CPU cycle cost due
to this additional 64x64 block match (SSE2 version) takes around 2%
at low bit-rate rtc speed 6. When strong motion activities exist in
the video sequence, it substantially improves the partition
selection accuracy, thereby achieving better compression performance
and lower CPU cycles.
The experiments were tested in RTC speed -6 setting:

Fix an encoder/decode mismatch bug
This commit prevent the encoder to update last_frame_type when a frame
is dropped in the encoder. Prior to this fix, if there is a dropped
frame immediatedly after a key frame, decoder would have the value of
last_frame_type as key frame, different from encoder as the dropped
frame in encoder would have updated the value to an inter frame. This
leads to different probability update in encoder and decoder, thereby
encoder/decoder mismatch.
