// Encodes the given alpha data via specified compression method 'method'.
// The pre-processing (quantization) is performed if 'quality' is less than 100.
// For such cases, the encoding is lossy. The valid range is [0, 100] for
// 'quality' and [0, 1] for 'method':
//   'method = 0' - No compression;
//   'method = 1' - Use lossless coder on the alpha plane only
// 'filter' values [0, 4] correspond to prediction modes none, horizontal,
// vertical & gradient filters. The prediction mode 4 will try all the
// prediction modes 0 to 3 and pick the best one.
// 'effort_level': specifies how much effort must be spent to try and reduce
//  the compressed output size. In range 0 (quick) to 6 (slow).
//
// 'output' corresponds to the buffer containing compressed alpha data.
//          This buffer is allocated by this method and caller should call
//          WebPSafeFree(*output) when done.
// 'output_size' corresponds to size of this compressed alpha buffer.
//
// Returns 1 on successfully encoding the alpha and
//         0 if either:
//           invalid quality or method, or
//           memory allocation for the compressed data fails.
