the minimum size condition size is applied transparently (no warning, no error)
like previous minimum section size condition (1 KB) which still applies.
Previous version was requiring a fairly large initial amount of input data
before starting to create compression jobs.
This new version starts the process much sooner.
It was reading beyond the end of the input buffer because no errors were
detected. Once that was fixed, it wasn't making forward progress because
no errors were detected and it was waiting for input.
There is a large buffering effect when using zstdmt in MT mode.
Consequently, data is read first, pushed to workers,
and only later will the compressed result come out.
That means there is no longer immediate correlation
between amount of data read, and amount of data written.
This patch disables the displaying of % compression
when multi-threading is enabled.
It adds the displaying of total size when it can be determined
(it usually can be determined for files, but not for stdin)
so the user has a sense of "how far from the end" the compression compressed is.
There is no modification to decompression side,
since decompression is only single-threaded for now.

In some extraordinary circumstances,
*Length field can be generated from reading a partially uninitialized memory segment.
Data is correctly identified as corrupted later on,
but the read taints some later pointer arithmetic operation.
