Disable costly TraceBackwards heuristic for computing the backward references
for low_effort (method=0) compression.
The TraceBackwards heuristic is already disabled for lower (q < 25) quality
range. Following is the compression data for 1000 image corpus for q >= 25.
This speeds up compression (q >= 25) by a factor of 2.5-3X with slight loss of
compression density (0.7% for lower quality range and 1.2% for higher qualities).

- Lower the threshold parameters for HashChainFindCopy.
For 1000 image PNG corpus (m=0), this change yields speedup of 15-20% at
lower quality range (0.25% drop in compression density) and about 10%
for higher quality range without any drop in the compression density.
Following is the compression stats (before/after) for method = 0:

Update BackwardRefsWithLocalCache to do in-place update of backward

No impact on the compression density or compression speed.

Use the refs_lz77 computed (with cache_bits=0) in the method 'CalculateBestCacheSize'
to regenerate the LZ77 references corresponding to the optimum cache_bits and avoid
calling costly 'BackwardReferencesLz77' one extra time.
This change leaves the compression density unchanged and speeds up compression
by 10-15%.
Change-Id: I5a92e11788d3c3f656aa7e1fba54fb5d96ee0027
- The optimal cache bits is evaluated inside the method 'VP8LGetBackwardReferences'.
- The input cache_bits to 'VP8LGetBackwardReferences' sets the maximum cache
bits to use (passing 0 implies disabling the local color cache).
- The local color cache is disabled for lowerf (<= 25) quality levels (as before).
- Enabled local color cache for palette images as well. This saves additional
0.017% bytes with a slight (2-3%) improvement in the compression speed.
- Removed 'use_2d_locality' parameter from method VP8LGetBackwardReferences, as
this option is not an option now (after we freeze the lossless bit-stream).
Change-Id: I33430401e465474fa1be899f330387cd2b466280
Updated BackwardReferencesRle method by utilizing the local color cache.
Also changed the name of method BackwardReferencesHashChain to
BackwardReferencesLz77 to reflect the LZ77 coding.
For the 1000 image corpus, this change saves 0.2% bytes
(at default settings) and is 2-5% faster to encode.

Optimize backwardreferences (about 0.1% byte savings) with almost same
compression speed (3% faster on defaut compression settings).
1.) Simplified iteration logic for HashChainFindCopy.
- Remapped the iter_max constant.
2.) Simplified main for loop for BackwardReferencesHashChain
- Removed 'if' conditions for corner cases in the main loop.
- Refactored the method(AddSingleLiteral) for adding one pixel.

Speed up BackwardReferencesHashChainDistanceOnly method by:
1.) Remove for loop for shortmax code path.
2.) Execute the shortmax code path after regular call to
HashChainFindCopy, only if HashChainFindCopy() returns length > 2 (MIN_LENGTH).
3.) Also for shortmax, call method HashChainFindOffset (for length = 2),
instead of expensive method HashChainFindCopy().
4.) Handling first pixel (i==0) outside main loop and removing one if
condition (i > 0) per pixel.
5.) Handle the last pixel outside the main 'for' loop.
Overall compression speedup observed is around 5% (+/- noise).

The method VP8LCalculateEstimateForCacheSize is not evaluating the all possible
range for cache_bits.
Also added a small penality for choosing the larger cache-size. This is done to
strike a balance between additional memory/CPU cost (with larger cache-size) and
byte savings from smaller WebP lossless files.
This change saves about 0.07% bytes and speeds up compression by 8% (default
settings). There's small speedup at Q=50 along with byte savings as well.
Compression at Quality=25 is not effected by this change.
Change-Id: Id8f87dee6b5bccb2baa6dbdee479ee9cda8f4f77
Instead of calling HashChainFindMethod, call a new (subset) method
HashChainFindOffset to get the offset/distance for a given length.

Updated VP8LGetBackwardReferences and HashChainFindCopy method with following:
- Remove the recursive CostModelBuild.
- Reuse the lz77 backward refs in CostModelBuild, instead of evaluating it
again (as it was done for recursion_level=0).
- Consolidated the Match-length logic inside FindMatchLength method.
- Removed the logic for altering best_length/val based on the 2D distance.
The additional 162 value (+= 9 * 9 + 9 * 9 - y * y - x * x) can't change the
best_val eval computation to choose a different curr_length, as best_val was
set to 'curr_length << 16'.
Following is the impact on the compression speed/density at default & max
quality, overall this speeds up compression by 5-15% (q=100 -> 75) with a tad
drop (0.02-0.03%) in compression density for the non-palette images.

Non-photo source produce far less literal reference and their
buffer is usually much smaller than the picture size if its compresses
well. Hence, use a block-base allocation (and recycling) to avoid
pre-allocating a buffer with maximal size.
This can reduce memory consumption up to 50% for non-photographic
content. Encode speed is also a little better (1-2%)

Reduce calls to Malloc (WebPSafeMalloc/WebPSafeCalloc) for:
- Building HashChain data-structure used in creating the backward references.
- Creating Backward references for LZ77 or RLE coding.
- Creating Huffman tree for encoding the image.
For the above mentioned code-paths, allocate memory once and re-use it
subsequently.
Reduce the foorprint of VP8LHistogram struct by changing the Struct
field 'literal_' from an array of constant size to dynamically allocated
buffer based on the input parameter cache_bits.
Initialize BitWriter buffer corresponding to 16bpp (2*W*H).
There are some hard-files that are compressed at 12 bpp or more. The
realloc is costly and can be avoided for most of the WebP lossless
images by allocating some extra memory at the encoder initializaiton.

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).

Optimize 'VP8LCalculateEstimateForCacheSize' for lower quality ranges (Q < 50).
The entropy is generally lower for higher cache_bits, so start searching from
higher cache_bits and settle for a local minima, instead of evaluating all
values.
This speeds up the lossless encoding at lower qualities by 10-15%.
