Extend WebP Encode functionality to encode Alpha data and produce
bit-stream (RIFF+VP8X+ALPH+VP8) corresponding to WebP-Alpha.

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.

+ add a simple rescaling function: WebPPictureRescale() for encoding
+ clean-up the memory managment around the alpha plane
+ fix some includes path by using "../webp/xxx.h" instead of "webp/xxx.h"
New flags for 'cwebp':
-resize <width> <height>
-444 (no effect)
-422 (no effect)
-400

This is a (minor) bitstream change: if the 'color_space' bit is set to '1'
(which is normally an undefined/invalid behaviour), we add extra data at the
end of partition #0 (so-called 'extensions')
Namely, we add the size of the extension data as 3 bytes (little-endian),
followed by a set of bits telling which extensions we're incorporating.
The data then _preceeds_ this trailing tags.
This is all experimental, and you'll need to have
'#define WEBP_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES' in webp/types.h to enable this code
(at your own risk! :))
Still, this hack produces almost-valid WebP file for decoders that don't
check this color_space bit. In particular, previous 'dwebp' (and for instance
Chrome) will recognize this files and decode them, but without the alpha
of course. Other decoder will just see random extra stuff at the end of
partition #0.
To experiment with the alpha-channel, you need to compile on Unix platform
and use PNGs for input/output.
If 'alpha.png' is a source with alpha channel, then you can try (on Unix):
cwebp alpha.png -o alpha.webp
dwebp alpha.webp -o test.png
cwebp now has a '-noalpha' flag to ignore any alpha information from the
source, if present.
More hacking and experimenting welcome!

converts PNG & JPEG to WebP
This is an experimental early version, with lot of room
of later optimizations in both speed and quality.
Compile with the usual `./configure && make`
Command line example is examples/cwebp
Usage:
cwebp [options] -q quality input.png -o output.webp
where 'quality' is between 0 (poor) to 100 (very good).
Typical value is around 80.
More encoding options with 'cwebp -longhelp'
