Even at high quality setting, the U/V quantizer step is limited
to 4 which can lead to banding on gradient.
This option allows to selectively apply some randomness to
potentially flattened-out U/V blocks and attenuate the banding.
This option is off by default in 'dwebp', but set to -dither 50
by default in 'vwebp'.
Note: depending on the number of blocks selectively dithered,
we can have up to a 10% slow-down in decoding speed it seems.

method 1 grouping: [parse + reconstruction] // [filtering + output]
method 2 grouping: [parse] // [reconstruction+filtering + output]
Depending on some heuristics (see VP8ThreadMethod()), we
can pick one of the other when -mt flag (or option.use_threads)
is selected.
Conservatively, we always use method #2 for now until the heuristic
is refined (so, timing should be the same the before this patch)
+ replace 'use_threads' by 'mt_method'
+ define MIN_WIDTH_FOR_THREADS constant
+ fix comment alignment

Mostly visible for large images.
Reconstruction+filtering is now done in parallel to bitstream-parsing.

Needs more memory but allows for future parallelization.
Noticeably faster on ARM, slightly faster on x86
also: remove dec->filter_row_ unnecessary field

rather than symlink the webm/vpx terms, use the same header as libvpx to
reference in-tree files
based on the discussion in:
https://codereview.chromium.org/12771026/

(cherry picked from commit d640614d54)
This applies to images with optional chunks (e.g. images with ALPH
chunk,
ICCP chunk etc). Before this, the incremental decoding used to work like
non-incremental decoding for such files, that is, no rows were decoded
until
all data was available.
The change is in 2 parts:
- During optional chunk parsing, don't wait for the full VP8/VP8L chunk.
- Remap 'alpha_data' pointer whenever a new buffer is allocated/used in
WebPIAppend() and WebPIUpdate().

- precompute filtering strength once for all at the beginning
instead of per-macroblock
- reduce size of VP8MB struct from 8 bytes to 4.
- removed VP8StoreBlock() accordingly

The new modes are
MODE_rgbA
MODE_bgrA
MODE_Argb
MODE_rgbA_4444
It's binary incompatible, since the enums changed.
While at it, i removed the now unneeded KeepAlpha methods.
-> Saved ~12k of code!
* made explicit mention that alpha_plane is persistent,
so we have access to the full alpha plane data at all time.
Incremental decoding of alpha was planned for, but not
implemented. So better not dragged this constaint for now
and make the code easier until we revisit that.

Previously, it used to assume any raw bitstream is a VP8 one.
Also,
- Factor out VP8CheckSignature() & VP8LCheckSignature().
- Use a local var for *data_ptr in ParseVP8Header() for
readability.
Change-Id: I0fa8aa177dad7865e00c8898f7e7ce76a9db19d5
* each with their own decoder instances.
* Refactor the incremental buffer-update code a lot.
* remove br_offset_ for VP8LDecoder along the way
* make VP8GetHeaders() be used only for VP8, not VP8L bitstream
* remove VP8LInitDecoder()
* rename VP8LBitReaderResize() to VP8LBitReaderSetBuffer()

- remove some unused functions
- move global arrays from data to read only section
- explicitly cast malloc returns; not specifically necessary, but helps
show intent
- miscellaneous formatting

alpha information is not to be found at RIFF chunks level, not
in the VP8 bitstream (that was a tmp hack)

Extend WebP decode functionality to extract Alpha data (support ALPH
chunk) and decode the Alpha plane using Alpha (utils/alpha) core-lib.
Change-Id: I6f0ee1b189c13caba3c1dd9b681383bfd00aa212
- Move common defines to dec/webpi.h
- Regularize naming and parameters of various "CheckAndSkip" functions.
Also they return VP8StatusCode for clarity.
- Move WebP header/chunk parsing functions to webpi.h
- Fix a bug in static function GetFeatures()

Gathers all DSP-related function (and SSE2 implementations).
Clean-up some unwanted symbolic dependencies so that webp_encode,
webp_decode and webp_dsp are truly independent libraries.
+ opportunistic clean-up:
* remove unneeded VP8DspInitTables(), now integrated in VP8DspInit()
* make consistent use of VP8GetCPUInfo() in the various DspInit() funcs
* change OUT macro to DST
