This commit replaces zrun_zbin_boost, a method of biasing non-zero
coefficients following runs of zero-coefficients to be rounded towards
zero, with an explicit skip-block choice in the RD loop.
The logic is basically that if individual coefficients should be rounded
towards zero (from a RD point of view), the trellis/optimize loop should
take care of it. If whole blocks should be zero (from a RD point of
view), a single RD check is much more efficient than a complete
serialization of the quantization loop.
Quality change: derf +0.5% psnr, +1.6% ssim; yt +0.6% psnr, +1.1% ssim.
SIMD for quantize will follow in a separate patch. Results for other
test sets pending.

Change vp9_block_error() to return a 64bit error variable, change all
callers to expect a 64bit return value (this will prevent overflows,
which we basically don't check for at all right now). Remove duplicate
block_error() function, which fixed that through truncation. Remove
old (incompatible) mmx/sse2 block_error SIMD versions and replace with
a new one that returns a 64bit value.
Encoding time of first 50 frames of bus @ 1500kbps goes from 3min29 to
3min23, i.e. a 3% overall speedup.
