Adjust the motion decay component to account for image size.
This has very little impact for smaller image sizes.
Average bdrate results for our HD test sets:-
Hdres set: opsnr +0,92%, Fast SSIM +1.6%
Netflix hd set: opsnr + 1.5%, Fast SSIM +3.1%
There are a couple of notable -ve clips such as cyclist and sunflower
which seem to be better with a shorter interval but also a few very big
wins such as Jets >12% psnr 22% Fast SSIM and from the Netflix
Netflix set PierSeaside 9.7% psnr and 18.2% Fast SSIM.

Change only affects 1 pass vbr mode, speed >=5.
Increase min_thresh, decrease boost, and set a min/max
value for gf_interval.

Trap the case where we end up with a very short arf group just before
a key frame. Such a group often has poor quality and may cause pulsing.
For example if the KF is 17 frames away we are better doing two mid-size
groups of 9 and 8 than a group of 15 followed by a group of 2.
This becomes more and more important when coding with a short forced
kf interval though it may not impact our standard tests much.

Avoid copy-block when denoising is at LowLow level (i.e., no denoising is done).
Instead, don't enter denoiser at all, and when level goes back up over kLowLow
do a reset in denoiser.
Change-Id: I0544adf58f4dd51ecc4a4607fcb0353bfbbb7a59
This make it more likely clean/low-noise content will
be set as LowLow, and hence no denoising will be done.
Also set early exit on denoising for small blocks.

Some cleanup and bugfix: pass mi_row/mi_col (not mv_col/mv_row)
to build_inter_predictors. This only affects case where
the frame is resized, but since denoising is not done on resized
frames, the fix has not effect currently.

Change only affects 1 pass, vbr, speed = 5 (real-time mode).
Some improvement for high motion content.
AvgPSNR/SSIM metrics for ytlive set all up, on average ~2%,
some clips (high motion ones) up 4/5%.
Encoder speed down: on mynintendo_x1.1280_720.y4m: 47fps -> 44fps.

The mv is clamped in dec_find_mv_refs() to a smaller region
than the clamp in dec_find_best_ref_mvs(). See clamp_mv_ref
and clamp_mv2.

In multi-thread case, the encoder may crash if using encoder option
tile-rows > 0. To prevent that, force tile-rows=0 in this situation.
This is a workaround for WebM issue 1095:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webm/issues/detail?id=1095
The further fix can be done by adding synchronizations after a tile
row is encoded. But this will hurt multi-threaded encoder performance.
So, it is recommended to use tile-rows=0 while encoding with threads
> 1.

Allow the encode loop to select from a wider range of Q values
when encoding normal (non arf or kf) frames.
This change is targeted at improving psycho-visual quality in some
easy sections that are currently not getting enough bits.
This is likely to be a little worse from a metrics perspective and may also
have a small impact on encode speed in cases where extra recode
iterations are triggered.
Change-Id: I667eebf33c753bcbcf8b93596467369e5708b889
Adds a second threshold for recodes even on frames where
recode is normally disabled if there is a big rate miss.
