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).

- Verified (earlier) that there's low correlation between Red & Blue colors
(particularly after applying Cross-color transform). The Bin based histogram
merge, bins on three entropies viz literal, red & blue symbols. Removing
either of blue or red increases the compression density. So keeping the bins
for red & blue sybmols.
- Keeping the compact bins method as-is. This way it's simpler to read.

- Encode the same 'pic' again.

- 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).

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.

Enable bin-partition entropy based heuristic for merging histograms
for higher (q >= 90) qualities as well. Keep the old behavior at the

Change-Id: Icf972a98f298c89e140e37a627baf709134be9a0
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.

- Reuse the lz77 backward refs in CostModelBuild, instead of evaluating it

- 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'.

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 and re-structured VP8LGetHistoImageSymbols method, by using the bin-hash
for merging the Histograms more efficiently, instead of the randomized
heuristic of existing method HistogramCombine.
This change speeds up the Lossless encoding by 40-50% (for method=4 and Q > 50)
with 0.8% penalty in compression density. For lower method, the speed up is 25-30%,
with 0.4% penalty in the compression density.

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.

Speedup lossless encoder by 20-25% by optimizing:
- GetBestColorTransformForTile: Use techniques like binary search and
local minima search to reduce the search space.
- VP8LFastSLog2Slow & VP8LFastLog2Slow: Adding the correction factor for
log(1 + x) and increase the threshold for calling the approximate
version of log_2 (compared to costly call to log()).

Increase the initial buffer size for VP8L Bit Writer from 4bpp to 8bpp.
The resize buffer is expensive (requires realloc and copy) and this additional
memory (0.5 * W * H) doesn't add much overhead on the lossless encoder.
Change-Id: Ic1fe55cd7bc3d1afadc799e4c2c8786ec848ee66
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%.

* remove the sharpening for non luma-AC coeffs
* adjust the bias a little bit to compensate for this
Using the multiply-by-reciprocal doesn't always give the same result

this avoids local-minima that look bad, even if the distortion
looks low (e.g. gradients, sky,...). Mostly visible in the q=50-80 range.
Output size is mostly unchanged.

* raise U/V quantization bias to more neutral values
* also raise the non-zero AC bias for Y1/Y2 matrices
(we need all the precision we can for U/V leves, which are often empty)
This will increase quality in the higher range (q >= 90) mostly.
Files size is exacted to raise a little (5-7%). and SSIM accordingly of course.

kLevelsFromDelta[sharpness][delta] is an inverse look-up table
that tells the minimum filtering strength needed to trigger the
filtering of a step with amplitude 'delta'. We use this table
in various situations:
a) when computing the initial (/global) filtering
strength for each segment. We look at the quantization
step and deduce the proper filtering strength needed
to result this quantization noise (talking the -f option
into account).
b) during intra16 calculation, when a block ends up
very empty (only DC coeffs are non-zero, all ACs have
vanished). We'll rely on the in-loop filtering to
restore the smoothness (if the source was gradient-like
smooth. That's why we look at the distortion too before
triggering the filtering).
Step b) goes _in addition_ to a), potentially raising
the filtering strength if blockiness is likely.

-> helps debanding (sky, gradients, etc.)
This dithering can only be triggered when using -preset photo

Note that this change is likely to make the perceived PSNR/SSIM drop
since we're altering the input internally.

The convergence algo is noticeably faster and more accurate.
Try it with: 'cwebp -size xxxxx -pass 8 ...' or 'cwebp -psnr 39 -pass 8 ...'
for instance
Allow full-looping with TokenBuffer case, and make the non-TokenBuffer
case match too.
In case Partition0 is likely to overflow, retry encoding with harder
limits on max_i4_header_bits_.
This CL should make -partition_limit option somewhat useless,
since the fix made automatically (albeit in a non-optimal way yet).

When -mt is used, the analysis pass will be split in two

Saturation was done on input coeff, not quantized one.
This saturation is not absolutely needed: output of FTransformWHT
is in range [-16320, 16321]. At quality 100, max quantization steps is 8,
so the maximal range used by QuantizeBlock() is [-2040, 2040].
But there's some extra bias (mtx->bias_[] and mtx->sharpen_[]) so
it's better to leave this saturation check for now.

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
