码控-mbtree_propagate_cost()

/* Estimate the total amount of influence on future quality that could be had if we
 * were to improve the reference samples used to inter predict any given macroblock. 
 * 
 * 若我们提升宏块的质量，则会对未来的质量照成多大的提升。
 * 该函数以行为单位来调用，以宏块为单位进行计算，所以参数以向量的形式输入:
 *		propagate_in[i]表示宏块有多少信息是参考别人的
 *		intra_costs[i]表示宏块的帧内预测satd
 *		inter_costs[i]表示宏块的帧间预测satd
 *		inv_qscales[i]表示用于将satd转化为bits的参数
 *		fps_factor[i] 表示当前计算的一行宏块（所在帧的duration）与（所在mb_tree帧组的平均duration）的比值
 *		len表示一行宏块的个数
 *
 *		dst[i]		  存放计算后的propagate_amount
 *
