// Computes the number of frame threads to be used based on the following
// heuristic:
//   * If |thread_count| == 1, return 0.
//   * If |thread_count| <= |tile_count| * 4, return 0.
//   * Otherwise, return the largest value of i which satisfies the following
//     condition: i + i * tile_columns <= thread_count. This ensures that there
//     are at least |tile_columns| worker threads for each frame thread.
//   * This function will never return 1 or a value > |thread_count|.
//
//  This heuristic is based empirical performance data. The in-frame threading
//  model (combination of tile multithreading, superblock row multithreading and
//  post filter multithreading) performs better than the frame parallel model
//  until we reach the threshold of |thread_count| > |tile_count| *
//  kFrameParallelThresholdMultiplier.
//
//  It is a function of |tile_count| since tile threading and superblock row
//  multithreading will scale only as a factor of |tile_count|. The threshold 4
//  is arrived at based on empirical data. The general idea is that superblock
//  row multithreading plateaus at 4 * |tile_count| because in most practical
//  cases there aren't more than that many superblock rows and columns available
//  to work on in parallel.
