rtc: Fixes to rate control for CBR mode
For 1 pass CBR mode: constrain the active_best for
gf/arf refresh frames on the gf_cbr_boost_pct flag,
as this logic was intended only for boosted gf/arf
frames. Also move the QP adjustmemnt to separate
function and fix the conditions for the
adjustment/clamping.
Neutral/negligible change in bdrate for speed >= 6 rtc.
Change helps to reduce excessive overshoot in some cases.
