change the threshold of DC check for encode breakout
Previously, the DC check is to make sure there is no code-able
DC shift for quantizer Q0, which has been verified rather
conservative. This commit changes the criteria to have two
components, DC and AC, to address the conservativeness. First,
it checks if all AC energy is enough to contribute a single
non-zero quantized AC coefficient. Second, for DC, the decision
to skip further considers two possible scenarios: 1. There is
no code-able 2nd order DC coefficient at all; 2 The residue is
relatively flat, but the uniform DC change is very small, i.e.
less than 1/2 gray level per pixel.
Comparing to previous criteria, the new criteria is about 10%
to 15% faster in encoding time with a very small quality loss.
(threshold ~1000 and quality range 33db-45db)
It should be noted that this commit enables "automatic" static
threshold for encodebreakout if a non-zero small value is passed
in to encoder.

fix last frame buffer copy logic regression
Commit 0ce3901 introduced a change in the frame buffer copy logic where
the NEW frame could be copied to the ARF or GF buffer through the
copy_buffer_to_{arf,gf}==1 flags, if the LAST frame was not being
refreshed. This is not correct. The intent of the
copy_buffer_to_{arf,gf}==1 flag is to copy the LAST buffer. To copy the
NEW buffer, the refresh_{alt_ref,golden}_frame flag should be used.
The original buffer copy logic is fairly convoluted. For example:
if (cm->refresh_last_frame)
{
vp8_swap_yv12_buffer(&cm->last_frame, &cm->new_frame);
cm->frame_to_show = &cm->last_frame;
}
else
{
cm->frame_to_show = &cm->new_frame;
}
...
if (cm->copy_buffer_to_arf)
{
if (cm->copy_buffer_to_arf == 1)
{
if (cm->refresh_last_frame)
vp8_yv12_copy_frame_ptr(&cm->new_frame, &cm->alt_ref_frame);
else
vp8_yv12_copy_frame_ptr(&cm->last_frame, &cm->alt_ref_frame);
}
else if (cm->copy_buffer_to_arf == 2)
vp8_yv12_copy_frame_ptr(&cm->golden_frame, &cm->alt_ref_frame);
}
Effectively, if refresh_last_frame, then new and last are swapped, so
when "new" is copied to ARF, it's equivalent to copying LAST to ARF. If
not refresh_last_frame, then LAST is copied to ARF. So LAST is copied to
ARF in both cases.
Commit 0ce3901 removed the first buffer swap but kept the
refresh_last_frame?new:last behavior, changing the sense since the first
swap wasn't done to the more readable refresh_last_frame?last:new, but
this logic is not correct when !refresh_last_frame.
This commit restores the correct behavior from v0.9.1 and prior. This
case is missing from the test vector set.
