Increases compression density by 0.005 % for the 1000 images, but small

Speedup method StoreImageToBitMask by replacing the code to find histogram

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).

AnalyzeSubtractGreen constitutes about 8-10% of the comression CPU cycles.
Statistically, subtract-green is proved to be useful for most of the
non-palette compression. So instead of evaluating the entropy (by calling
AnalyzeSubtractGreen) apply subtract-green transform for the low-effort
compression.
This changes speeds up the compression at m=0 by 8-10% (with very slight loss
of 0.07% in the compression density).

Remove handling for WEBP_HINT_GRAPH w.r.t use_palette flag.

- 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 the logic to limit the Histogram size to a constant, instead of
computing the same based on the Histogram size (that's variable size based on
the cache bits) for the maximum possible cache bits. The actual cache bits may
be lower than the maximum.
Note: The constant 2600 is 16MB/Sizeof(HistogramSize(MAX_COLOR_CACHE_BITS)).
The compression density remains the same with this change, with little faster
compression speed.
Change-Id: I3149894962852e9dad2501b9aa16bb847a20fd86
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.

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

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.

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).
