AV1 RT: Adjust thrs for var-based partition. Add TX size search

This increases threshold for 32x32->16x16 split and adds tx size search
for speed 6. Overall perf impact is very small, but I see good BDRate
gain (overall 4%, max 9%) for speed 6. For speed7 the speed up is 11%
with BDRate loss of 0.22%.
