theora - Nov 2018 - NHW Project - new -l11 very high compression quality setting

Hello,

I have added a new -l11 very high compression quality setting to the NHW
Project (and I still don't have touched the entropy coding schemes, and so
we can still save 2KB-2.5KB per .nhw compressed file).

This new quality setting is quite competitive because it still maintains a
good level of neatness, even at these very high compression ratios.For
example, I have compared this -l11 very high compression setting with x265
(HEVC) on rather good quality images, and I visually prefer the results of
the NHW Project because it has more neatness, even at these very high
compression ratios!!! The NHW Project is still at least 50x faster to
encode and at least 15x faster to decode than x265 (optimized HEVC), and is
still royalty-free!

Many thanks!
Cheers,
Raphael Canut
