Improve: Scenecut Aware Frame Quantizer Selection

This patch does the following:
1)Reduce bits for frames before the scenecut
2)Refactor Scenecut Aware Frame Quantizer Selection
3)Add option "--qp-delta-nonref" to set offset for
non-referenced inter frames(optional).
4)Enables Scenecut Aware Frame Quantizer Selection
to run only with pass 2
