add a -dither dithering option to the decoder

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.
