distance between levels is slightly increased
to compensate for level 1 speed improvements
and the will to have stronger level 19
extending the range of speed to cover.
merging of repcode search into btsearch introduced a small compression ratio regressio at max level :
1.3.2 : 52728769
after repMerge patch : 52760789 (+32020)
A few minor changes have produced this difference.
They can be hard to spot.
This patch buys back about half of the difference,
by no longer inserting position at hc3 when a long match is found there.
It feels strangely counter-intuitive, but works :
after this patch : 52742555 (-18234)
UTIL_getFileSize() used to return zero on failure.
This made it impossible to distinguish a failure from a genuine empty file.
Both cases where coalesced.
Adding UTIL_FILESIZE_UNKNOWN constant has many consequences on user code,
since in many places, the `0` was assumed to mean "error".
This is no longer the case, and the error code must be actively checked.
ZSTD_estimateCCtx() is now a "simple" function,
taking int compressionLevel as single argument.
ZSTD_estimateCCtx_advanced() takes a CParams argument,
which is both more complete and more complex to generate.
