This is to conform to man/gif2webp.1
Earlier, one needed to give both '-kmin 0' and '-kmax 0' for this to
work.
Also, suppress further warnings for kmin = 0 and/or kmax = 0 case.

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 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.

Specifically:
- Merge OptimizeAndEncodeFrame with WebPFrameCacheAddFrame: they use the same
if-else structure.
- Move maintenance of 'prev_canvas' and 'curr_canvas' to util.
- Move ReduceTransparency() and FlattenPixels() calls to SetFrame(): This is in
preparation for the next patch: which will try try lossless encoding for
each frame, even when '-lossy' option is given.
- Make most methods static inside util.
No changes to output expected.

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

quite rarely, it gives a different output
then without the HINT, but that's often for
a smaller size (tested with default -m and -m 6)

helps during lossless compression.
10% average saving, but that's mostly on what was previously
'difficult' cases, where the gain is ~30-50% actually.
Non-difficult cases are mostly unchanged.
Tested over ~7k random web gifs.
