skal 9bfbdd144f 1.5x-2x faster encoding for method 3 and up
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

- next version:
* WebPINewRGB/WebPINewYUVA accept being passed a NULL output buffer
and will perform auto-allocation.
* default filter option is now '-strong -f 60'
* encoding speed-up for lossy methods 3 to 6
- 10/30/12: version 0.2.1
* Various security related fixes
* cwebp.exe: fix import errors on Windows XP
* enable DLL builds for mingw targets
- 8/3/12: version 0.2.0
* Add support for ARGB -> YUVA conversion for lossless decoder
New functions: WebPINewYUVA, WebPIDecGetYUVA
* Add stats for lossless and alpha encoding
* Security related hardening: allocation and size checks
* Add PAM output support to dwebp
- 7/19/12: version 0.1.99
* This is a pre-release of 0.2.0, not an rc to allow for further
incompatible changes based on user feedback.
* Alpha channel encode/decode support.
* Lossless encoder/decoder.
* Add TIFF input support to cwebp.
Incompatible changes:
* The encode ABI has been modified to support alpha encoding.
* Deprecated function WebPINew() has been removed.
* Decode function signatures have changed to consistently use size_t over
int/uint32_t.
* decode_vp8.h is no longer installed system-wide.
* cwebp will encode the alpha channel if present.
- 9/19/11: version 0.1.3
* Advanced decoding APIs.
* On-the-fly cropping and rescaling of images.
* SSE2 instructions for decoding performance optimizations on x86 based platforms.
* Support Multi-threaded decoding.
* 40% improvement in Decoding performance.
* Add support for RGB565, RGBA4444 & ARGB image colorspace.
* Better handling of large picture encoding.
- 3/25/11: version 0.1.2
* Incremental decoding: picture can be decoded byte-by-byte if needs be.
* lot of bug-fixes, consolidation and stabilization
- 2/23/11: initial release of version 0.1, with the new encoder
- 9/30/10: initial release version with only the lightweight decoder
