Urvang Joshi ead4d47859 Add incremental support for extended format files
This applies to images with optional chunks (e.g. images with ALPH
chunk,
ICCP chunk etc). Before this, the incremental decoding used to work like
non-incremental decoding for such files, that is, no rows were decoded
until
all data was available.

The change is in 2 parts:
- During optional chunk parsing, don't wait for the full VP8/VP8L chunk.
- Remap 'alpha_data' pointer whenever a new buffer is allocated/used in
WebPIAppend() and WebPIUpdate().

- Next version:
* Add incremental decoding support for images containing ALPH and ICCP chunks.
- 3/20/13: version 0.3.0
This is a binary compatible release.
* 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
* alpha encoding can be done in parallel to lossy using 'cwebp -mt ...'
* color profile, metadata (XMP/EXIF) and animation support finalized in the
container.
* various NEON assembly additions
Tool updates / additions:
* gif2webp added
* vwebp given color profile & animation support
* cwebp can preserve color profile / metadata with '-metadata'
- 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
