42d61b6def update the spec for the lossy-alpha compression methods.
No further experiments are to be expected, so this is quite the
final format so far, pending supplemental feedbacks.

c975c44ea5 Alpha flag fix for lossless.
- Make sure alpha flag is set in case of a lossless file with VP8X chunk.
  The semantic of ALPHA_FLAG changes with this: it means the images
  contain alpha (rather than ALPH chunk in particular).
- Update the mux container spec to add 1-line description of alpha
  flag.
- Rename "HasLosslessImages()" to "MuxHasLosslessImages()", and other
  similar function renames.
- Rename FeatureFlags to WebPFeatureFlags
- Elaborated a comment for a special case.
- A misc comment fix.

638528cd1e bitstream update for lossy alpha compression
now, we only use 2 bits for the filtering method, and 2 bits
for the compression method.
There's two additional bits which are INFORMATIVE, to specify
whether the source has been pre-processed (level reduction)
during compression. This can be used at decompression time
for some post-processing (see DequantizeLevels()).

New relevant spec excerpt:

     0                   1                   2                   3
     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    |                      ChunkHeader('ALPH')                      |
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    |Rsv| P | F | C |     Alpha Bitstream...                        |
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Compression method (C): 2 bits

: The compression method used:

  * `0`: No compression.
  * `1`: Backward reference counts encoded with arithmetic encoder.

Filtering method (F): 2 bits

: The filtering method used:

  * `0`: None.
  * `1`: Horizontal filter.
  * `2`: Vertical filter.
  * `3`: Gradient filter.

Pre-processing (P): 2 bits

: These INFORMATIVE bits are used to signal the pre-processing that has
been performed during compression. The decoder can use this information to
e.g. dither the values or smooth the gradients prior to display.

  * `0`: no pre-processing
  * `1`: level reduction

Decoders are not required to use this information in any specified way.

Reserved (Rsv): 2 bits

: SHOULD be `0`.

Alpha bitstream: _Chunk Size_ - `1` bytes

: Encoded alpha bitstream.

This optional chunk contains encoded alpha data for a single tile.
Either **ALL or NONE** of the tiles must contain this chunk.

The alpha channel data is losslessly stored as raw data (when
compression method is '0') or compressed using the lossless format
(when the compression method is '1').

5249e94a22 doc: tile/alpha corrections
- the tile chunk size does not include the alpha or vp8 chunks that
  follow
- remove 'experimental' note from alpha section
- drop an unused term from the terminology section

e9a7d145e7 Reformat container doc
- split the doc into sections for simple and extended format and move
  example layouts to the end.
- use ASCII tables to describe chunk formats
- attempt to consistently use MUST/SHOULD, etc.
- remove bold from most terms, but add them to definition lists which
  allow for the styling to be changed.

c398f59536 MUX API Updates
- Add alpha support in mux.
- Remove WebPMuxAddNamedData() and WebPMuxGetNamedData() APIs. Add WebPMuxSetImage(), WebPmuxGetImage() and WebPMuxDeleteImage() APIs instead.
- Refactor code using WebPImage struct.
- Corresponding changes in webpmux binary.
- WebPMuxSetImage()/AddFrame()/AddTile() can now work with data which starts from "RIFF...". This simplifies reading a single-image webp file and adding it as an image/frame/tile in mux.

f3bf4c769f Added Mux Container Spec & README for MUX-API.
Added the Mux Container Spec (RIFF structure) for the features supported
(Color Profile, XMP Metadata, Animation & Tiling) via WebP Mux. Also
added README file with example psudo code for using the Mux API(s) and a
short description on webpmux (comand line tool, planned to be pushed out
in subsequent Git change).
