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.

Fix the threshold for forcing refresh of golden frame based
on high motion. The current comparison was incorrect and
prevented this (force update of gf on high motion) from being used.
For now keep this logic under a flag (and off for now) so as to
not change behavior, until further testing.

This is the identical change submitted for vp8 here:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/274107/
Tested this change on Mac OSX (10.10) and Linux
(Linux Mint 17 / Ubuntu 14.04) and in both cases:
- downloaded and compiled latest source for libvpx and ffmpeg
- confirmed ffmpeg would build sub-second frame rate webm files
via the previous patch
- confirmed ffmpeg would *not* build fps < 1 for vp9
- made this change, recompiled libvpn and ffmpeg
- confirmed ffmpeg would now create the same webm with
fps < 1
- confirmed the resulting file would play and was vp9 (e.g.
would not play in Firefox (Linux version complained it was
VP9 but mostly could play it) or older vlc, etc., but does
play just fine in Google Chrome and a newer version of vlc.
Sorry I didn't catch this last time - but this seems a solid
change and it's handy to be able to create frame rates
less than one second.

Add frame-level condition for reference masking: under external or
internal dynamic resize, allow for reference masking if none of
the references have been scaled.
Peviously, reference masking was turned off for the stream if dynamic
resize feature was enabled or an external resize event occurred.
reference_masking gives speed up with little/no loss in compression.
For speed 7 on rtc set: encoding time decreases by about 5-7%,
