[x265] [PATCH] presets: Updating presets to improve coding efficiency and speed

Pradeep,
In presets.rst you put 2 rows in for limit-refs.  The 2nd one should be
limit-modes.

+| limit-modes          |    0      |     0     |    0     |   0    |  0
|    0   |  1   |   1    |    1     |    0    |

Also, I don't see limit-modes changed for slow, slower and veryslow.

Please double-check that everything matches our planned changes before we
commit this.

Tom

presets: Updating presets to improve  coding efficiency and speed.

This commit results in vast improvements in encoding speed and efficiency
for several presests. Most important features are increasing # references
for some presets and enabling limit-refs and limit-mode to limit impact on
speed.
