Enable non-rd mode coding on key frame, for speed 6.
For key frame at speed 6: enable the non-rd mode selection in speed setting
and use the (non-rd) variance_based partition.
Adjust some logic/thresholds in variance partition selection for key frame only (no change to delta frames),
mainly to bias to selecting smaller prediction blocks, and also set max tx size of 16x16.
Loss in key frame quality (~0.6-0.7dB) compared to rd coding,
but speeds up key frame encoding by at least 6x.
Average PNSR/SSIM metrics over RTC clips go down by ~1-2% for speed 6.

Rework coeff probability model update for rtc coding
This commit reworks the ONE_LOOP_REDUCED coefficient probability
model update process. It allows model update for every coefficient
across the spectrum at a coarser resolution, instead of performing
precise update only for certain subset of probability models.
The overall runtime remains nearly same (<1% change) for speed -6.
The compression performance is improved by 7.5% in PSNR for speed
-5 and 4.57% for speed -6, respectively.

Remove rate component adjustment for AQ1
In AQ1 a rate adjustment was applied for blocks coded with a
deltaq. This tends to skew the partition selection and cause
rate overshoot.
For example, consider a 64x64 super block where some but not all
sub blocks are in a low q segment and some are in a high q segment.
The choice of Q when considering large partition and transform sizes
is defined by the lowest sub block segment id (currently this implies the
lowest Q). If some parts of the larger partition are very hard this will
cause a high rate component.
The correct behavior here is for the rd code to discard the large partition
choice and break down to sub blocks where some have low and some
have high Q. However the rate correction factor above mask the high
cost of coding at a larger partition size.
