/**
 * @brief Functions for finding best partition for a block.
 *
 * The partition search operates in two stages. The first pass uses kmeans clustering to group
 * texels into an ideal partitioning for the requested partition count, and then compares that
 * against the 1024 partitionings generated by the ASTC partition hash function. The generated
 * partitions are then ranked by the number of texels in the wrong partition, compared to the ideal
 * clustering. All 1024 partitions are tested for similarity and ranked, apart from duplicates and
 * partitionings that actually generate fewer than the requested partition count, but only the top
 * N candidates are actually put through a more detailed search. N is determined by the compressor
 * quality preset.
 *
 * For the detailed search, each candidate is checked against two possible encoding methods:
 *
 *   - The best partitioning assuming different chroma colors (RGB + RGB or RGB + delta endpoints).
 *   - The best partitioning assuming same chroma colors (RGB + scale endpoints).
 *
 * This is implemented by computing the compute mean color and dominant direction for each
 * partition. This defines two lines, both of which go through the mean color value.
 *
 * - One line has a direction defined by the dominant direction; this is used to assess the error
 *   from using an uncorrelated color representation.
 * - The other line goes through (0,0,0,1) and is used to assess the error from using a same chroma
 *   (RGB + scale) color representation.
 *
 * The best candidate is selected by computing the squared-errors that result from using these
 * lines for endpoint selection.
