new option: -blend_alpha 0xrrggbb
also: don't force picture.use_argb value for lossless. Instead,
delay the YUVA<->ARGB conversion till WebPEncode() is called.
This make the blending more accurate when source is ARGB
and lossy compression is used (YUVA).
This has an effect on cropping/rescaling. E.g. for PNG, these
are now done in ARGB colorspace instead of YUV when lossy compression
is used.

using token-buffer (that is: slightly more memory. O(output_size))
This change is ON by default. To return to previous behaviour, use
'cwebp -low_memory' or set config.low_memory to true.
Side-effect of this new mode: it forces 1 partition only (which was
default anyway), and makes some statistics about the bitstream
no longer available. cwebp will no longer report 'intra4-coeffs', etc.
This mode also doesn't work (yet) with multi-pass, and -low_memory
is currently forced for multi-pass.
also: reversed the flag: USE_TOKEN_BUFFER -> DISABLE_TOKEN_BUFFER
also: fixed the kAverageBytesPerMB estimate
Change-Id: I4ea80382038d6df4309663e0cb7bd88d9bca9cf1
new option: 'cwebp -mt ...'
new config flag: config.thread_level
(allowed thread_level are 0 or 1 for now. Maybe more later...)
If -mt is activated (and WEBP_USE_THREAD is used for compile), the alpha-compression
will be done in parallel to RGB coding for lossy. Can save quite a bit of latency...
Has no effect for lossless encoding.

This option remaps internal parameters to better match
the expected compression curve of JPEG and produce output files
of similar size, but with better quality.

currently has no effect except to disable metadata extraction from the
input when the value is 'none'.

LSIM stands for "local similarity": before matching
a compressed pixel to the source, we search around in the source
and minimise the squared error. So, this is close to PSNR calculation,
but mitigates some of its limitations (pure translation and noise for instance).
There's a new -print_lsim option to cwebp too.

For low-color images, it may be better to not use color-palettes.
Users should treat this as one another hint (as with Photo &
Picture) and another parameter for tuning the compression density.
The optimum compression can still be obtained by running (outer loop)
compression with all possible tunable parameters.

These will report the 7x7-averaged PSNR or SSIM, using the
new internal function WebPPictureDistortion().
This is for information only. These flags have no encoding impact.

.. where only 2 filtering modes are potentially
tried, instead of all of them. This is fast than the exhaustive 'best'
mode, and not much worse.
Options for cwebp are:
-alpha_filter none
-alpha_filter fast (<- default)
-alpha_filter best (<- slow)

Add predictive filtering option for Alpha plane.
Valid range for filter option is [0, 5] corresponding to prediction
methods none, horizontal, vertical, gradient & paeth filter.
The prediction method 5 will try all the prediction methods (0 to 4)
and pick the prediction method that gives best compression.

Although it degrades quality, this option is useful to avoid the 512k
limit for partition #0.
If not enough to reach the lower bound of 4bits per macroblock header,
one should also limit the number of segments used (down to -segments 1)
See the man file for extra details.

You can now use WebPDecBuffer, WebPBitstreamFeatures and WebPDecoderOptions
to have better control over the decoding process (and the speed/quality tradeoff).
WebPDecoderOptions allow to:
- turn fancy upsampler on/off
- turn in-loop filter on/off
- perform on-the-fly cropping
- perform on the-fly rescale
(and more to come. Not all features are implemented yet).
On-the-fly cropping and scaling allow to save quite some memory
(as the decoding operation will now scale with the output's size, not
the input's one). It saves some CPU too (since for instance,
in-loop filtering is partially turned off where it doesn't matter,
and some YUV->RGB conversion operations are ommitted too).
The scaler uses summed area, so is mainly meant to be used for
downscaling (like: for generating thumbnails or previews).
Incremental decoding works with these new options.
More doc to come soon.
dwebp is now using the new decoding interface, with the new flags:
-nofancy
-nofilter
-crop top left width height
-scale width height

For now, SSE2 functions are compiled a-minima: only on platforms
where __SSE2__ is defined. Let's later add some autoconf-based
config to enable/disable at will.
One can disable SSE2 at run-time by hooking-up VP8GetInfo.
There is a new option "-noasm" in cwebp for that.
Output should be binary the same between C and SSE2 version. If not,
that's a bug!
