SSE2 version is 2.1x faster
This is used to transfer the alpha plane to green channel before lossless compression.

if ALPHA_LOSSLESS_COMPRESSION produces a too big file (very rare!),
we fall-back to no-compression automatically.

there's still some malloc/free in the external example
This is an encoder API change because of the introduction
of WebPMemoryWriterClear() for symmetry reasons.
The MemoryWriter object should probably go in examples/ instead
of being in the main lib, though.
mux_types.h stil contain some inlined free()/malloc() that are
harder to remove (we need to put them in the libwebputils lib
and make sure link is ok). Left as a TODO for now.
Also: WebPDecodeRGB*() function are still returning a pointer
that needs to be free()'d. We should call WebPSafeFree() on
these, but it means exposing the whole mechanism. TODO(later).

Disable costly 'BackwardReferencesTraceBackwards' for encoding Alpha plane.
Increase the threshold for triggering 'BackwardReferencesTraceBackwards' to
quality 25 and above. Also lower the Alpha quality (at method 3) to be
lesser than this threshold (25).

This is required for WebP lossy+Alpha images, where Alpha channel is taking
60-70% of the compression (CPU) cycles.
Also evaluated on 1000 PNG corpus and overall compression speed
is 15-40% better for lossy (PNG+Alpha) compression.
The pure lossless compression numbers are almost same (or little
better) with this change.

new option: 'cwebp -mt ...'
new config flag: config.thread_level
(allowed thread_level are 0 or 1 for now. Maybe more later...)
If -mt is activated (and WEBP_USE_THREAD is used for compile), the alpha-compression
will be done in parallel to RGB coding for lossy. Can save quite a bit of latency...
Has no effect for lossless encoding.

* Extend AuxStats with new fields
it's slightly ABI-incompatible, but i guess it's ok for 0.1.99+
I expect to add more stats later, possibly (predictor stats, etc.)
* Have cwebp report the features used by lossless
compression (either for alpha or full lossless coding)
* Print the PSNR for alpha (useful in case of -alpha_q)
* clean-up alpha.c signatures
+ misc cleanup (added const '* const ptr', etc.)

Evaluated the impact of this change over 1000 image corpus.
The compression density is up (on average) by 1.2% and encoding time has
gone down considerably from 716 ms (per file) to 146 ms (per file)
(4.9X improvement in encoding time).

VP8-lossy will now avoid writing an ALPH chunk if the
alpha values are trivial.
+ changed DumpPicture() accordingly in cwebp
+ prevented the -d option to be active with lossless
(DumpPicture wouldn't work).

Take picture and percent value storage location instead of VP8Encoder.
This will allow reuse by the lossless encoder.
Change-Id: Ic49dbc800cc3e2df60d20f4ebac277f68ed6031b
we vary linearly lossless-method between 0 and 6,
and lossless-quality between 50 and 100, so that encoding
speed can go from 'quite fast' to 'rather slow'.
Impact on size is moderate, but visible.

This saves ~26 bytes of headers.

now, we only use 2 bits for the filtering method, and 2 bits
for the compression method.
There's two additional bits which are INFORMATIVE, to specify
whether the source has been pre-processed (level reduction)
during compression. This can be used at decompression time
for some post-processing (see DequantizeLevels()).

Compression method (C): 2 bits
: The compression method used:
* `0`: No compression.
* `1`: Backward reference counts encoded with arithmetic encoder.
Filtering method (F): 2 bits
: The filtering method used:
* `0`: None.
* `1`: Horizontal filter.
* `2`: Vertical filter.
* `3`: Gradient filter.
Pre-processing (P): 2 bits
: These INFORMATIVE bits are used to signal the pre-processing that has
been performed during compression. The decoder can use this information to
e.g. dither the values or smooth the gradients prior to display.
* `0`: no pre-processing
* `1`: level reduction
Decoders are not required to use this information in any specified way.
Reserved (Rsv): 2 bits
: SHOULD be `0`.
Alpha bitstream: _Chunk Size_ - `1` bytes
: Encoded alpha bitstream.
This optional chunk contains encoded alpha data for a single tile.
Either **ALL or NONE** of the tiles must contain this chunk.
The alpha channel data is losslessly stored as raw data (when
compression method is '0') or compressed using the lossless format
(when the compression method is '1').

* Method #1 is now calling the lossless encoder on the alpha plane.
Format is not final, it's just a first draft. We need ad-hoc functions.
* removed now useless utils/alpha.*
* added utils/quant_levels.h instead
* removed the TCoder code altogether

.. where only 2 filtering modes are potentially
tried, instead of all of them. This is fast than the exhaustive 'best'
mode, and not much worse.
Options for cwebp are:
-alpha_filter none
-alpha_filter fast (<- default)
-alpha_filter best (<- slow)

Add predictive filtering option for Alpha plane.
Valid range for filter option is [0, 5] corresponding to prediction
methods none, horizontal, vertical, gradient & paeth filter.
The prediction method 5 will try all the prediction methods (0 to 4)
and pick the prediction method that gives best compression.
