Edge Aware Quad Tree Establishment.

This patch does the following:
1. Terminates recursion for quadtree establishment using edge information.
2. Adds modes for option "--rskip". Modes 0,1 for current usage and 2,3 for edge
 based recursion skip.
3. Adds option "edge-threshold" to decide recursion skip using CU edge density.
4. Re uses edge information when already available in encoder.

Edge Aware Quad Tree Establishment.

This patch does the following:
1. Terminates recursion for quadtree establishment using edge information.
2. Adds modes for option "--rskip". Modes 0,1 for current usage and 2,3 for edge
 based recursion skip.
3. Adds option "edge-threshold" to decide recursion skip using CU edge density.
4. Re uses edge information when already available in encoder.

+
+	This option determines early exit from CU depth recursion in modes 1, 2 and 3. When a skip CU is
+	found, additional heuristics (depending on RD level and rskip mode) are used to decide whether
+	to terminate recursion. The following table summarizes the behavior.
+	
+	+----------+------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
+	| RD Level | Rskip Mode |   Skip Recursion Heuristic                                     |
+	+==========+============+================================================================+
+	|   0 - 4  |      1     |   Neighbour costs.                                             |
+	+----------+------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
+	|   5 - 6  |      1     |   Comparison with inter2Nx2N.                                  |
+	+----------+------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
+	|   0 - 6  |      2     |   CU edge denstiy.                                             |
+	+----------+------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
+	|   0 - 6  |      3     |   CU edge denstiy with forceful skip for lower levels of CTU.  |
+	+----------+------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
+	
+	Provides minimal quality degradation at good performance gains for non-zero modes.
+	:option:`--rskip mode 0` means disabled. Default: 1, disabled when :option:`--tune grain` is used.
+
+.. option:: --edge-threshold <0..100>
+
+	Denotes the minimum expected edge-density percentage within the CU, below which the recursion is skipped.
+	Default: 5, requires :option:`--rskip mode 2|3` to be enabled.
 
 .. option:: --splitrd-skip, --no-splitrd-skip
