mjpeg: low quality + restart (and grayscale) = lower quality than libjpeg

[ami_stuff]

cjpeg -targa -quality 15 -progressive -restart 17 -grayscale test.tga >q15r17.jpg

cjpeg -targa -quality 5 -progressive -restart 17 -grayscale test.tga >q5r17.jpg

cjpeg -targa -quality 1 -progressive -restart 17 -grayscale test.tga >q1r17.jpg

Please decode attached samples with ffmpeg and djpeg. The output from djpeg looks less blocky
The problem is most visible with q1r17.jpg when we compare output from ffmpeg and djpeg.

This is related to restart option, for example there is no problem while decoding:

cjpeg -targa -quality 1 -progressive -restart 0 -grayscale test.tga >q1r0.jpg

with ffmpeg (ffmpeg and djpeg output matches).
