Evaluated the impact of this change over 1000 image corpus.
The compression density is up (on average) by 1.2% and encoding time has
gone down considerably from 716 ms (per file) to 146 ms (per file)
(4.9X improvement in encoding time).

Adds new methods WebPPictureARGBToYUVA() and WebPPictureYUVAToARGB()
Depending on the value of picture->use_argb_input,
the main call WebPEncode() will convert appropriately.
Note that both conversions are lossy, so it's recommended to:
* use YUVA input for lossy compression (picture->use_argb_input=0)
* use ARGB input for lossless compression (picture->use_argb_input=1)
Change-Id: I8269d607723ee8a1136b9f4999f7ff4e657bbb04
* add a real proper pointer for holding memory chunk pointer
(instead of using y and argb fields)
* polish the doc with details
* add a WebPPictureView() that extract a view from a picture
without any copy (kind of a fast-crop).
* properly snap the top-left corner for Crop/View. Previously,
the luma position was not snapped, and was off compared to the chroma.

This limit corresponds to default histo_bits=3 for images upto sizes 400x400.
Any image higher than this dimension will bump up the histo_bits to 4 internally.

Used when we don't code a Huffman Image.

deal with special cases of histo bits
Change-Id: I0c3f46cbf3b501e021c093e07253e7404c01ff4f
Updated histo_bits to 3 from 4 and changed the quality threshold for inner loop for HashChainFindCopy.
Impact: 0.5%-0.8% better bpp with 15%-20% hit on encoding throughput
at default encoding settings.

Ensure that the lossless bit-stream doesn't allow for such cases and
safe-gaurd decoder against indefinite recursion.

VP8-lossy will now avoid writing an ALPH chunk if the
alpha values are trivial.
+ changed DumpPicture() accordingly in cwebp
+ prevented the -d option to be active with lossless
(DumpPicture wouldn't work).

Change the lossless signature to 0x2f
Add 1 bit indicator for 'droppable (or trivial) alpha)'.
Add 3 bit lossless version (for future extension like yuv support).

Take picture and percent value storage location instead of VP8Encoder.
This will allow reuse by the lossless encoder.

we vary linearly lossless-method between 0 and 6,
and lossless-quality between 50 and 100, so that encoding
speed can go from 'quite fast' to 'rather slow'.
Impact on size is moderate, but visible.

This saves ~26 bytes of headers.
* introduce new VP8LDecodeAlphaImageStream() for decoding
* use VP8LEncodeStream() for encoding
* refactor code a bit

Change-Id: I23e599bebe335cfb5868e746e076c3358ef12e71
* RIFF header is omitted
* rename NewVP8LEncoder and DeleteVP8Encoder
* change the signature to take a "const WebPPicture*"
(it was non-const just because we were setting some error potentially)
* made the pic_ field const in VP8LEncoder too.
* trap the bitwriter::error_ too
* simplify some signatures to take WebPPicture* instead
of unneeded VP8LEncoder*
VP8LEncodeStream() will be called directly to compress alpha channel
header-less.

This is a border-case situation: the picture is not const, because
we're change its error status. But taking it non-const forces
the caller to carry a non-const picture all around the code just
in case (0.00001% of the time?) something bad happen.
This pretty much the same as making all objects non-const because
we'll eventually call delete or free() on them, which is quite a
non-const operation. Well... Better allow constness enforcement for
the remaining 99.9999% of the code.

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()).

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').

* Method #1 is now calling the lossless encoder on the alpha plane.
Format is not final, it's just a first draft. We need ad-hoc functions.
* removed now useless utils/alpha.*
* added utils/quant_levels.h instead
* removed the TCoder code altogether

The new method VP8LGetBackwardReferences hides internal

arrays can be passed directly as only their members are being modified.
this also reduces the allocation for bit_codes[] by taking the
sizeof(type)=2 rather than sizeof(ptr)=4/8 in one case.

VP8LHistogramSet is container for pointers to histograms that
we can shuffle around. Allocation is one big chunk of memory.
Downside is that we don't de-allocate memory on-the-go during
HistogramRefine().

confuse with "HistogramCombine"
+ made VP8LHistogramClear() static.
