This patch sets up a quad_tree structure (pc_tree) for holding all of
pick_mode_context data we use at any square block size during encoding
or picking modes. That includes contexts for 2 horizontal and 2 vertical
splits, one none, and pointers to 4 sub pc_tree nodes corresponding
to split. It also includes a pointer to the current chosen partitioning.
This replaces code that held an index for every level in the pick
modes array including: sb_index, mb_index,
b_index, ab_index.
These were used as stateful indexes that pointed to the current pick mode
contexts you had at each level stored in the following arrays
array ab4x4_context[][][],
sb8x4_context[][][], sb4x8_context[][][], sb8x8_context[][][],
sb8x16_context[][][], sb16x8_context[][][], mb_context[][], sb32x16[][],
sb16x32[], sb32_context[], sb32x64_context[], sb64x32_context[],
sb64_context
and the partitioning that had been stored in the following:
b_partitioning, mb_partitioning, sb_partitioning, and sb64_partitioning.
Prior to this patch before doing an encode you had to set the appropriate
index for your block size ( switch statement), update it ( up to 3
lookups for the index array value) and then make your call into a recursive
function at which point you'd have to call get_context which then
had to do a switch statement based on the blocksize, and then up to 3
lookups based upon the block size to find the context to use.
With the new code the context for the block size is passed around directly
avoiding the extraneous switch statements and multi dimensional array
look ups that were listed above. At any level in the search all of the
contexts are local to the pc_tree you are working on (in?).
In addition in most places code that used to call sub functions and
then check if the block size was 4x4 and index was > 0 and return
now don't preferring instead to call the right none function on the inside.

There is no need to initialize source/dst frame buffers at frame
level. These will be done at block coding stage. This commit hence
removes the redundant operations.

This commit compares the current original frame to the previous
original frame at 64x64 block level and decides if the entire
block belongs to background area. If it is in the background area,
skip non-RD partition search and copy the partition types of the
collocated block in the previous frame.
For vidyo1 in the rtc set, this makes the speed -5 coding speed
about 8% faster. The overall compression performance is down by
1.37% for rtc set.

Delete code relating to the old VP8_TUNE_SSIM flag
as this code does not currently work and is largely made
redundant in VP9 by the various AQ modes.

With a more approriate one vp9_setup_src_planes() as only src buffer
pointers need to be initialized here.

Calculate the difference variance between last source frame and
current source frame. The variance is calculated at 16x16 block
level. The variances are compared to several thresholds to decide
final partition sizes.
An adaptive strategy is implemented to decide using
SOURCE_VAR_BASED_PARTITION or FIXED_PARTITION based on motions
in the video. The switching test is done once every
search_type_check_frequency frames.
The selection of source_var_thresh needs to be investigated
further later.
RTC set Borg test showed 0.424% overall psnr gain, and 0.357%
ssim gain. For clips with large enough static area, the
encoding speedup is around 2% to 15%.

This commit allows the non-RD mode decision flow to select
prediction filter type in NEWMV mode. It provides 8.14% compression
performance gains in both settings of AQ=0 and 3. The current speed
impact is about 5% to 10% slower.

Copy up to a certain bsize, otherwise set to a fixed bsize.
This helsp to reduce artifact near moving boundary caused by full partition
copy without checking motion of super-block.
This artifact can occur at speeds 3,4 in real-time mode.

Turns off the DISABLE_RC_LONG_TERM_MEM macro and makes other changes
in the way the bits are updated, to make 2-pass rate control track
target bitrates closer.
