- add option to completely disable
- add iparameter to software manual

Software changes with respect to the adoption from proposal JVET-O0455:
Control the maximum number of IBC merge candidates independently from
the maximum number of regular merge candidates.

Add a cfg option "FastIntraPass", and use it for turning on/off the fast algorithm of intra pass coding in RDO. In cfg files, the parameter FastIntraPass is set as 0 for RA and 1 for LDB/LDP.
