[theora] NHW Project - new -l7 quality setting

[Raphael Canut]

Hello all,

Just a quick message to let you know that I have added to the NHW Project a
-l7 high compression quality setting.

This setting is still experimental and can be improved, but actually (I am
certainly not objective) I find it competitive with x265 (HEVC), mainly
because it has a good neatness.

Update at: http://nhwcodec.blogspot.com/

You can also find sample 512x512 test bitmap images on the demo page.

Else I know that we can improve this setting, but I start to be short of
idea (still think to Chroma from Luma and efficient edge-preserving
denoising, but they are impressive research topics on their own)...

Any help, ideas are very welcome!

-To finish, again if you evaluate the NHW Project, keep in mind that we can
save 1.5Ko-2Ko per .nhw file.-

Many thanks!
Cheers,
Raphael
