rtc: Reduce thresholds for palette mode in nonrd
For screen content in nonrd_pickmode:
reduce the sse and source_variance thresholds to force
more palette mode testing.
This had good bdrate gains with small increase in
encode time. For speed 10 rtc_screen:
2% bdrate gain in ovr-psnr, ~0.7% IC avg. increase.
Several clips (buganizer, web_browsing) have ~4% bdrate gains.
Also observed reduction in some visual artifacts in
buganizer and web_browsing clips.
