Rework partition search skip scheme

This commit enables the encoder to skip split partition search if
the bigger block size has all non-zero quantized coefficients in low
frequency area and the total rate cost is below a certain threshold.
It logarithmatically scales the rate threshold according to the
current block size. For speed 3, the compression performance loss:
derf  -0.093%
stdhd -0.066%

Local experiments show 4% - 20% encoding speed-up for speed 3.
