Reduced bias in picking loop filter level

The bias in picklpf intended to bias toward less greedy in getting
best frame level psnr while maximize overall quality for a clip.
This commit reduced the bias for frames using 8x8 transform to
achieve better compression overall.

The change improve compression by ~.15% consistently on most of the
HD clips tested.
