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.

RGBToU/V calls expects two extra precision bits, they were only
given one by SUM2H and SUM2H macros.
For rounding coherency, also changed SUM1 macro.

otherwise make sure that all frames are marked as a fragment. there's
still some work to do with validation if fragments are expected to cover
the entire canvas.

this avoids local-minima that look bad, even if the distortion
looks low (e.g. gradients, sky,...). Mostly visible in the q=50-80 range.
Output size is mostly unchanged.

Earlier we were only testing for bit_pos == LBITS. But this is not
sufficient,
as bit_pos can jump from < LBITS to > LBITS.
This was resulting in some bit-stream truncation errors not being
caught.
Note: Not a security bug though, as br->pos wasn't incremented in such
cases
and so we weren't reading beyond the buffer.

* raise U/V quantization bias to more neutral values
* also raise the non-zero AC bias for Y1/Y2 matrices
(we need all the precision we can for U/V leves, which are often empty)
This will increase quality in the higher range (q >= 90) mostly.
Files size is exacted to raise a little (5-7%). and SSIM accordingly of course.

kLevelsFromDelta[sharpness][delta] is an inverse look-up table
that tells the minimum filtering strength needed to trigger the
filtering of a step with amplitude 'delta'. We use this table
in various situations:
a) when computing the initial (/global) filtering
strength for each segment. We look at the quantization
step and deduce the proper filtering strength needed
to result this quantization noise (talking the -f option
into account).
b) during intra16 calculation, when a block ends up
very empty (only DC coeffs are non-zero, all ACs have
vanished). We'll rely on the in-loop filtering to
restore the smoothness (if the source was gradient-like
smooth. That's why we look at the distortion too before
triggering the filtering).
Step b) goes _in addition_ to a), potentially raising
the filtering strength if blockiness is likely.

Earlier "f = f->next_" was executing for both inner and outer loop, thus
skipping validation of some frames.

-> helps debanding (sky, gradients, etc.)
This dithering can only be triggered when using -preset photo
or -pre 2 (as a preprocessing). Everything is unchanged otherwise.
Note that this change is likely to make the perceived PSNR/SSIM drop
since we're altering the input internally.

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)

The convergence algo is noticeably faster and more accurate.
Try it with: 'cwebp -size xxxxx -pass 8 ...' or 'cwebp -psnr 39 -pass 8 ...'
for instance
Allow full-looping with TokenBuffer case, and make the non-TokenBuffer
case match too.
In case Partition0 is likely to overflow, retry encoding with harder
limits on max_i4_header_bits_.
This CL should make -partition_limit option somewhat useless,
since the fix made automatically (albeit in a non-optimal way yet).

When -mt is used, the analysis pass will be split in two
and each halves performed in parallel. This gives a 5%-9% speed-up.
This was a good occasion to revamp the iterator and analysis-loop
code. As a result, the default (non-mt) behaviour is a tad (~1%) faster.

-pass 2 can be useful sometimes. More passes usually don't help more.
This change is a step toward being able to re-code the whole picture
with varying parameter (when token buffer is used).

That's ~3k of stack size instead of heap.
But it allows having several iterators work in parallel.

The C-version gets ~7-8% slower in order to match the SSE2
output exactly. The old (now off-by-1) code is kept under
the WEBP_YUV_USE_TABLE flag for reference.
(note that calc rounding precision is slightly better ~= +0.02dB)
on ARM-neon, we somehow recover the ~4% speed that was lost by mimicking
the initial C-version (see https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/#/c/41610)
