Speed up BackwardReferencesHashChainDistanceOnly method by:
1.) Remove for loop for shortmax code path.
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.
Overall compression speedup observed is around 5% (+/- noise).

Enable bin-partition entropy based heuristic for merging histograms
for higher (q >= 90) qualities as well. Keep the old behavior at the
maximum quality level (q==100).
This speeds up the compression between Q=90-99 (method=4) by factor 5-7X
and with loss of 0.5-0.8% in the compression density.
Change-Id: I011182cb8ae5403c565a150362bc302630b3f330
The Maximum allowed limit is 11.
The Q=25 and below is not impacted as cache bits are forced to 0.
This saves 0.05% - 0.1% bytes for other quality with almost same compression
speed (+/- 2-3%, that's more of a noise).
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.

Updated VP8LGetBackwardReferences and HashChainFindCopy method with following:
- Remove the recursive CostModelBuild.
- Reuse the lz77 backward refs in CostModelBuild, instead of evaluating it
again (as it was done for recursion_level=0).
- 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'.
Following is the impact on the compression speed/density at default & max
quality, overall this speeds up compression by 5-15% (q=100 -> 75) with a tad
drop (0.02-0.03%) in compression density for the non-palette images.

We compact the palette by weighted distance, favoring the green channel.
Average gain on paletted file is ~0.5%, with gain up to 6-7% on some favorable cases.

This reduces the number of malloc()/free() calls substantially
with minimal increase in memory consumption (~2%).

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
buffer based on the input parameter cache_bits.
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.

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

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.
