TextureSynthesis Save

The algorithms are:

1. Full neighbourhood search algorithm of Scott Draves and Alexei Efros + Thomas Leung and Li-Yi Wei + Marc Levoy is probably the simplest texture synthesis algorithm imaginable.
2. K-coherent neighbourhood search of Michael Ashikhmin and Xin Tong + Jingdan Zhangz + Ligang Liu + Xi Wangz + Baining Guo + Heung-Yeung Shum takes computational burden from the synthesis to the analysis part and therefore is better suited for synthesizing large textures.
3. Resynthesis algorithm of P. F. Harrison is scale-invariant, fast, supports constraints and practically never produces completely unsatisfactory results.

Note that my implementations are not completely true to the original papers.
