Updated the near-lossless level mapping and make it correlated to lossy
quality i.e 100 => minimum loss (in-fact no-loss) and the visual-quality loss
increases with decrease in near-lossless level (quality) till value 0.
The new mapping implies following (PSNR) loss-metric:
-near_lossless 100: No-loss (bit-stream same as -lossless).
-near_lossless 80: Very very high PSNR (around 54dB).
-near_lossless 60: Very high PSNR (around 48dB).
-near_lossless 40: High PSNR (around 42dB).
-near_lossless 20: Moderate PSNR (around 36dB).
-near_lossless 0: Low PSNR (around 30dB).

Enable the WebP near-lossless feature by pre-processing the image to smoothen
the pixels.
On a 1000 PNG image corpus, for which WebP lossless (default settings) gets
25% compression gains, following is the performance of near-lossless feature
at various '-near_lossless' levels:
-near_lossless 90: 30% (very very high PSNR 54-60dB)
-near_lossless 75: 38% (very high PSNR 48-54dB)
-near_lossless 50: 45% (high PSNR 42-48dB)
-near_lossless 25: 48% (moderate PSNR 36-42dB)
-near_lossless 10: 50% (PSNR 30-36dB)
WebP near-lossless is specifically useful for discrete-tone images like
line-art, icons etc.

This is because, FlattenSimilarBlocks() replaces some opaque pixels by
transparent ones. This results in an equivalent output only if blending
is turned on for the current frame.

Snapping odd offsets in GIF to even offsets in WebP was causing extra row/column
being disposed in such cases.
Code is rewritten to maintain previous and current canvas (it used to maintain
previous canvas and current frame earlier). And we recompute change rectangles
as those from GIF may no longer apply.
Also, this renders methods like ReduceTransparency() and ConvertToKeyFrame()
redundant, as internally maintained current canvas is always independent of
previous canvases.
Disposal method choice: we pick the disposal method that results in the smallest
change rectangle.

For some GIF images, the first frame is missing the corresponding
graphic control extension. For such cases, we were never calling
GetBackgroundColor(), and default background color value (white) was being used
incorrectly.
So, we call GetBackgroundColor() when we encounter the first image
descriptor instead, to make sure that it is always called.

We store the raw RGB samples decoded from JPEG, and avoid precision loss.
Note that this may increase the encoding time reported by
cwebp -v, since RGB->YUV now occur during WebPEncode call
(in case of lossy), instead of ReadJPEG().
This also increases the memory use, since we're carying the
source ARGB samples around.

previously, the final canvas size was adjusted tightly from the
animation frames. Now, it can be specified separately (to be larger, in particular).
calling WebPMuxSetCanvasSize(mux, 0, 0) triggers the 'adjust tightly' behaviour.
This can be useful after calling WebPMuxCreate() if further image addition
is expected.
-> Fixed gif2webp accordingly.
also: made WebPMuxAssemble() more robust by systematically zero-ing WebPData.
Change-Id: Ib4f7eac372cf9dbf6e25cd686a77960e386a0b7f
Similarly to Chrome, we then use the first sub-rectangle
to set the canvas size.
Also: add check for too-large GIF dimensions (>MAX_CANVAS_SIZE)

new options:
dwebp -alpha_dither
vwebp -noalphadither
When the source was marked as quantized, we use a threshold-averaging
filter to smooth the decoded alpha plane.
Note: this option forces the decoding of alpha data in one pass, and
might slow the decoding a bit.
The new field in WebPDecoderOptions struct is 'alpha_dithering_strength'
(0 by default, means: off). Max strength value is '100'.

Needed to add 'volatile' and some casts.
Relevant excerpt from the 'man longjmp':
===============
The values of automatic variables are unspecified after a call to longjmp() if they meet all the following criteria:
· they are local to the function that made the corresponding setjmp(3) call;
· their values are changed between the calls to setjmp(3) and longjmp(); and
· they are not declared as volatile.

there's still some malloc/free in the external example
This is an encoder API change because of the introduction
of WebPMemoryWriterClear() for symmetry reasons.
The MemoryWriter object should probably go in examples/ instead
of being in the main lib, though.
mux_types.h stil contain some inlined free()/malloc() that are
harder to remove (we need to put them in the libwebputils lib
and make sure link is ok). Left as a TODO for now.
Also: WebPDecodeRGB*() function are still returning a pointer
that needs to be free()'d. We should call WebPSafeFree() on
these, but it means exposing the whole mechanism. TODO(later).

* allow reading from stdin for dwebp / vwebp

Change-Id: I8df0f3a246cc325925d6b6f668ba060f7dd81d68
These are presets for lossless coding, similar to zlib.
The shortcut for lossless coding is now, e.g.:
cwebp -z 5 in.png -o out_lossless.webp
There are 10 possible values for -z parameter:
0 (fastest, lowest compression)
to 9 (slowest, best compression)
A reasonable tradeoff is -z 6, e.g.
-z 9 can be quite slow, so use with care.
This -z option is just a shortcut for some pre-defined
'-lossless -m xx -q yy' combinations.

This is to discourage generation of animated WebP images with ICC
profile, as
the real-world use-case for such images is rare at best.

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.
Change-Id: I6f5eeb609aeffc159d0252a40a5734162f7e4e7d
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.

This bounds the maximum number of frames that need to be decoded to
