This compresses the uimage using lossless compression and controlable
decimating pre-process.
Code is under WEBP_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURE while it's being experimented with.

new options:
dwebp -alpha_dither
vwebp -noalphadither
When the source was marked as quantized, we use a threshold-averaging
filter to smooth the decoded alpha plane.
Note: this option forces the decoding of alpha data in one pass, and
might slow the decoding a bit.
The new field in WebPDecoderOptions struct is 'alpha_dithering_strength'
(0 by default, means: off). Max strength value is '100'.

* allow reading from stdin for dwebp / vwebp
* allow writing to stdout for gif2webp

Example use: cat in.webp | dwebp -o - -- - > out.png

(as per general fashion for '--' option parsing)

These are presets for lossless coding, similar to zlib.
The shortcut for lossless coding is now, e.g.:
cwebp -z 5 in.png -o out_lossless.webp
There are 10 possible values for -z parameter:
0 (fastest, lowest compression)
to 9 (slowest, best compression)
A reasonable tradeoff is -z 6, e.g.
-z 9 can be quite slow, so use with care.
This -z option is just a shortcut for some pre-defined
'-lossless -m xx -q yy' combinations.
Change-Id: I6ae716456456aea065469c916c2d5ca4d6c6cf04
New API options: WebPDecoderOptions.flip and 'dwebp -flip ...'
it uses negative stride trick.
Also changed the decoder code to support user-supplied
buffers with negative stride, independently of the
WebPDecoderOptions.flip value.

this enables webpmux to accept input files starting with '-' when using
-get/-set/-strip; -info & -frame expect an input file as one of their
parameters so no changes are necessary there.

This is to discourage generation of animated WebP images with ICC
profile, as
the real-world use-case for such images is rare at best.
Output of ICC/XMP metadata is now controlled by the '-metadata' option.
Change-Id: I8e3e29878c32bf46cbc661f50661bac602603c43
Even at high quality setting, the U/V quantizer step is limited
to 4 which can lead to banding on gradient.
This option allows to selectively apply some randomness to
potentially flattened-out U/V blocks and attenuate the banding.
This option is off by default in 'dwebp', but set to -dither 50
by default in 'vwebp'.
Note: depending on the number of blocks selectively dithered,
we can have up to a 10% slow-down in decoding speed it seems.

When '-mixed' option is given, each frame would be heuristically chosen
to be
encoded using lossy or lossless compression.
The heuristic is based on the number of colors in the image:
- If num_colors <= 31, pick lossless compression
- If num_colors >= 194, pick lossy compression
- Otherwise, try both and pick the one that compresses better.
Change-Id: I908c73493ddc38e8db35b7b1959300569e6d3a97
-> helps debanding (sky, gradients, etc.)
This dithering can only be triggered when using -preset photo
or -pre 2 (as a preprocessing). Everything is unchanged otherwise.
Note that this change is likely to make the perceived PSNR/SSIM drop
since we're altering the input internally.
Change-Id: Id8d4326245d9b828141de162c94ba381b1fa5813
We use the 'do not blend' option for creating independent frames.
We also mark the already independent frames as 'do not blend'.
This bounds the maximum number of frames that need to be decoded to
decode a given frame, thus leading to a much better decoding performance.

new option: -blend_alpha 0xrrggbb
also: don't force picture.use_argb value for lossless. Instead,
delay the YUVA<->ARGB conversion till WebPEncode() is called.
This make the blending more accurate when source is ARGB
and lossy compression is used (YUVA).
This has an effect on cropping/rescaling. E.g. for PNG, these
are now done in ARGB colorspace instead of YUV when lossy compression
is used.

using token-buffer (that is: slightly more memory. O(output_size))
This change is ON by default. To return to previous behaviour, use
'cwebp -low_memory' or set config.low_memory to true.
Side-effect of this new mode: it forces 1 partition only (which was
default anyway), and makes some statistics about the bitstream
no longer available. cwebp will no longer report 'intra4-coeffs', etc.
This mode also doesn't work (yet) with multi-pass, and -low_memory
is currently forced for multi-pass.
also: reversed the flag: USE_TOKEN_BUFFER -> DISABLE_TOKEN_BUFFER
also: fixed the kAverageBytesPerMB estimate
Change-Id: I4ea80382038d6df4309663e0cb7bd88d9bca9cf1
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.

This option remaps internal parameters to better match

It will decode to raw (flat) YUV format, similar to what

LSIM stands for "local similarity": before matching
a compressed pixel to the source, we search around in the source
and minimise the squared error. So, this is close to PSNR calculation,
but mitigates some of its limitations (pure translation and noise for instance).
There's a new -print_lsim option to cwebp too.

For low-color images, it may be better to not use color-palettes.
Users should treat this as one another hint (as with Photo &
Picture) and another parameter for tuning the compression density.
The optimum compression can still be obtained by running (outer loop)
compression with all possible tunable parameters.

You can now use WebPDecBuffer, WebPBitstreamFeatures and WebPDecoderOptions
to have better control over the decoding process (and the speed/quality tradeoff).
WebPDecoderOptions allow to:
- turn fancy upsampler on/off
- turn in-loop filter on/off
- perform on-the-fly cropping
- perform on the-fly rescale
(and more to come. Not all features are implemented yet).
On-the-fly cropping and scaling allow to save quite some memory
(as the decoding operation will now scale with the output's size, not
the input's one). It saves some CPU too (since for instance,
in-loop filtering is partially turned off where it doesn't matter,
and some YUV->RGB conversion operations are ommitted too).
The scaler uses summed area, so is mainly meant to be used for
downscaling (like: for generating thumbnails or previews).
Incremental decoding works with these new options.
More doc to come soon.
dwebp is now using the new decoding interface, with the new flags:
-nofancy
-nofilter
-crop top left width height
-scale width height

For now, SSE2 functions are compiled a-minima: only on platforms
where __SSE2__ is defined. Let's later add some autoconf-based
config to enable/disable at will.
One can disable SSE2 at run-time by hooking-up VP8GetInfo.
There is a new option "-noasm" in cwebp for that.
Output should be binary the same between C and SSE2 version. If not,
that's a bug!
