make rdmult adaptive for intra in quantizer RDO

This intends to correct the tendency that VP8 aggressively favors rate
on intra coded frames. Experiments tested different numbers in [0, 1]
and found 9/16 overall provided about 2-4% gains for all-intra coded
clips based on vpx-ssim metric. The impact on regular encoded clips
is much smaller but positive overall. Overall impact on psnr is also
positive even though very small.
