Security Critical: Yes

Description:
Source archive:

WebP is an image format that does both lossy and lossless compression of
digital photographic images. WebP consists of a codec based on VP8, that Google
open-sourced in May 2010 and a container based on RIFF. Webmasters, web
developers and browser developers can use WebP to compress, archive and
distribute digital images more efficiently.

Local changes:
 * Removed examples/, documentation and build related files, keeping only
   the contents of src/ less mux/ which is unused.
 * Merged COPYING/PATENTS to LICENSE
 * Revert VP8 encoder changes to avoid WebKit layout test conflicts
   (fast/canvas/canvas-toDataURL)
   WebKit bug tracking test update:
     https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93310
   Changes reverted:

     7107d54 further speed-up/cleanup of RecordCoeffs() and GetResidualCost()
