Denoiser quality

[GoogleCodeExporter]

On a sample video clip, see: 
/home/marpan/clips_denoise/tacaoma_small_camera_movement.yuv

the decoded video (at 500kbps, 30fps) with denoiser on seems to look worse than 
with denoiser off.

Parameters for encoding/decoding (2 temporal layers were used):

 ./vpxenc --lag-in-frames=0 --error-resilient=1 --target-bitrate=500 --kf-min-dist=3000 --kf-max-dist=3000 --cpu-used=-6 --fps=30000/1000 --static-thresh=1 --token-parts=1 --drop-frame=0 --end-usage=cbr --min-q=2 --max-q=56 --undershoot-pct=100 --overshoot-pct=15 --buf-sz=1000 --buf-initial-sz=500 --buf-optimal-sz=600 --max-intra-rate=900 --resize-allowed=0 --drop-frame=0 --passes=1 --rt --noise-sensitivity=1 --tune=psnr -w $w -h $h input.yuv -o out.webm &>vpx.log

./vpxdec out.webm --i420 --deblock --demacroblock-level=3 --mfqe -o out.yuv 
&>vpxdec.log

This clip has camera shaking. Some artifacts from denoising (i.e, on skin 
areas) also exist in some other clips (see issue 487) with stable camera.
