When FlattenSimilarBlocks() was making some blocks transparent with
averaged RGB values, filtering in lossy compression was causing
blockiness just outside the edge of these blocks.
Disabling filtering for that particular case avoid these block
artifacts.
The total encoded size of the 6k GIF set remains roughly the same (in
fact, reduces a bit).

We pick a mapping with quality 0 mapping to max diff 32, to quality 100
mapping to max_diff 1.
For 6k GIF image set, this improves compression by:
4% at quality 0
0.05% at quality 75
Benefits the MovingThumbnailer test videos too.

This way we can ignore some noisy pixels and get tighter frame
rectangles.
Some results:
- Correctness:
Tested that anim_diff reports all images are identical for lossless, and
similar min_psnr value for lossy and mixed modes.
Also checked output images visually to make sure there weren't any
obvious kinks.
- Compression:
A very tiny improvement for 6000 image GIF set we have (0.03%) for lossy
and mixed mode. For some of these images, frames get dropped
automatically as they have a very small diff from previous frame.
10 images from test_video_frames_png show a clear improvement in
compression though. This CL leads to 7 out of 9 lossy WebPs getting
smaller -- for one of them, this leads to a higher quality being picked
(as that’s still < 150 KB).

Pass them along to internal 'pic' object, so that progress can be reported back
and user data can also be inspected.

We now get error string instead of printing it.
The verbose option is now only used to print info and warnings.

It was needed earlier for WebPAnimEncoder API when it was using structs
like WebPConfig, but it only uses pointers to those now.

Earlier, we stored a 1x1 frame for such frames. Now, we drop every such
frame and increase the duration of its previous frame instead.
Also, modify the anim_diff tool to handle animated images that are
equivalent, but have different number of frames.

When converting from video sources, the duration of current frame
is often unavailable until the next frame. So, we internally convert
timestamps to durations.

Some frames that were previously selected as key-frames were incorrectly
being reset to sub-frames.

SanitizeEncoderOptions() was changing kmin to 2 too, which resulted in a
bad state with kmin == kmax.

As 'curr_canvas_mod' is being modified during calls to IncreaseTransparency()
and FlattenSimilarBlocks(), GetSubRect() should get the sub-frame from
'curr_canvas_mod' as well.
Earlier, GetSubRect() was computed from 'curr_canvas', so modifying
'curr_canvas_mod' had no effect on encoding.

We set the parameters even if there is just one frame. This is to make sure
assembly is correct even if single frame animation is NOT converted to a full
frame later.

Given that we decided to only handle frame disposal for output WebP
internally,
only current and previous canvas need to be maintained.

A separate API to generate animated WebP images.
It will eventually replace the internal gif2webp_util methods.
Also: update makefiles.
