Documentation says: "if kmin == 0, then key-frame insertion is disabled;
and if kmax == 0, then all frames will be key-frames."
Reading this, you'd expect that if kmax == 0, then with any kmin <= 0
all frames will be key-frames. But actually the kmin <= 0 test is caught
first and you get the opposite (no keyframes but the first). You'd have
instead to set kmax == 0 and any value kmin > 0, which is absolutely
counter-intuitive (reversing order).
Moreover kmax == 1 has no valid kmin (kmin == 1 conflicts with the
`kmax > kmin` rule and kmin == 0 conflicts with `kmin >= kmax / 2 + 1`).
So it should be considered an exception too.
Instead I propose this new logic:
- kmax == 1 means that all frames are keyframes (you are explicitly
requesting a keyframe every 1 frame at most, i.e. all frames).
- kmax == 0 means no keyframes (you ask for a keyframe every 0 frames,
i.e. never).
This is more "logical" language-wise, and also does not involve any
conflicts about what if both kmax and kmin are 0, since now a single
property value is meaningful for the 2 exceptional cases.

it actually disables the disposal / blending method
and just displays the raw delta values.
Useful for debugging.

The options are now:
-duration d -> set the whole animation to duration 'd'
-duration d,s -> set only frame 's' to duration 'd'
-duration d,s,e -> set only interval [s,d] to duration 'd'
+ style fix
Change-Id: I72e95282d520146f76696666f44280ad9506affa
this will force a constant duration for an interval of frames
in an animation.
Notes:
a) '-duration [...]' can be repeated as many times as needed.
b) intervals are taken into account in option order. If they overlap, values will be overwritten.
c) 'start' and 'end' can be omitted, but not the duration value.
d) 'end' can be equal to '0', in which case it means 'last frame'
e) single-image files are untouched (ie. not turned into an animation file).
Some example usage:
webpmux -duration 150 in.webp -o out.webp
webpmux -duration 33,10,0 in.webp -o out.webp
webpmux -duration 200,2 -duration 150,0,50 in.webp -o out.webp

This is to prevent users shooting in the foot using -psnr or
-size alone and not getting the expected result.

Rename the flag to exact instead of the opposite cleanup_alpha. Add the flag to
WebPConfig. Do the cleanup in the webp encoder library rather than the cwebp
binary, this will be needed for the next stage: smarter alpha cleanup for
better compression which cannot be done as a preprocessing due to depending on
predictor choices in the encoder.

Updated the near-lossless level mapping and make it correlated to lossy
quality i.e 100 => minimum loss (in-fact no-loss) and the visual-quality loss
increases with decrease in near-lossless level (quality) till value 0.
The new mapping implies following (PSNR) loss-metric:
-near_lossless 100: No-loss (bit-stream same as -lossless).
-near_lossless 80: Very very high PSNR (around 54dB).
-near_lossless 60: Very high PSNR (around 48dB).
-near_lossless 40: High PSNR (around 42dB).
-near_lossless 20: Moderate PSNR (around 36dB).
-near_lossless 0: Low PSNR (around 30dB).

Enable the WebP near-lossless feature by pre-processing the image to smoothen
the pixels.
On a 1000 PNG image corpus, for which WebP lossless (default settings) gets
25% compression gains, following is the performance of near-lossless feature
at various '-near_lossless' levels:
-near_lossless 90: 30% (very very high PSNR 54-60dB)
-near_lossless 75: 38% (very high PSNR 48-54dB)
-near_lossless 50: 45% (high PSNR 42-48dB)
-near_lossless 25: 48% (moderate PSNR 36-42dB)
-near_lossless 10: 50% (PSNR 30-36dB)
WebP near-lossless is specifically useful for discrete-tone images like
line-art, icons etc.

This compresses the uimage using lossless compression and controlable
decimating pre-process.

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'.

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.

this enables webpmux to accept input files starting with '-' when using

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.
