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.

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 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)

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

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)

WebPDemuxPartial() returns NULL for both of the following cases:
- There was a parsing error.
- It doesn't have enough data to start parsing.
Now, one can differentiate between these two cases by checking the value
of 'state' returned by WebPDemuxPartial().

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().

This change speeds up the lossless & lossy (Alpha) encoding by 20%

At method=3, lossy (Alpha) compression speed (and density) remains
unchanged, as at that settings, the costly Backward Refs method is not

Specialize and simplify the alpha-decoding case, which is used when:
- no color-cache is use
- all red/blue/alpha values are the same (and hence their Huffman tree has
only 1 symbol. We don't need to consume any bits for reading these).
+ revamped the loop to use size_t and offsets instead of pointers.
~2-3% faster on Unix (gcc) but up to 25% faster lossy+alpha decoding
on Mac (llvm) and ARM.
