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.

When '-mixed' option is given, each frame would be heuristically chosen
to be
encoded using lossy or lossless compression.
The heuristic is based on the number of colors in the image:
- If num_colors <= 31, pick lossless compression
- If num_colors >= 194, pick lossy compression
- Otherwise, try both and pick the one that compresses better.

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.

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.

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.

We reduce transparency by turning some transparent pixels into
corresponding RGB values from previous canvas.
This improves compression by about 23%.

useful for testing. Not listed in the man or README, since
it's only useful for testing the incremental decoding
(e.g. measuring the timing difference compared to non-incremental)

We use the 'do not blend' option for creating independent frames.
We also mark the already independent frames as 'do not blend'.
This bounds the maximum number of frames that need to be decoded to
decode a given frame, thus leading to a much better decoding performance.

Earlier, all lossless images were assumed to contain alpha.
Now, we use the 'alpha_is_used' bit from the VP8L bitstream to determine
the
same.
Detecting an absence of alpha can sometimes lead to much more efficient
rendering, especially for animated images.
Related: refine mux code to read width/height/has_alpha information only
once
per frame/fragment. This avoid frequent calls to VP8(L)GetInfo().
