Speed up compilation times by moving each specialized search function
into its own function. This is faster because compilers can handle many
smaller functions much faster than one gigantic function. The previous
approach generated one giant function with `switch` statements and
inlining to select the implementation.
| Compiler | Flags | Dev Time (s) | PR Time (s) | Delta |
|----------|-------------------------------------|--------------|-------------|-------|
| gcc | -O3 | 16.5 | 5.6 | -66% |
| gcc | -O3 -g -fsanitize=address,undefined | 158.9 | 38.2 | -75% |
| clang | -O3 | 36.5 | 5.5 | -85% |
| clang | -O3 -g -fsanitize=address,undefined | 27.8 | 17.5 | -37% |
This also reduces the binary size because the search functions are no
longer inlined into the main body.
| Compiler | Dev libzstd.a Size (B) | PR libzstd.a Size (B) | Delta |

| gcc | 1563868 | 1308844 | -16% |
| clang | 1924372 | 1376020 | -28% |
Finally, the performance is not impacted significantly by this change,
in fact we generally see a small speed boost.

The compression strategy is unmodified in this PR, so the compressed size
should be exactly the same. I may have a follow up PR to slightly improve
the compression ratio, if it doesn't cost too much speed.
Fix underflow of `nbCompares` by switching to an `int` and comparing
`nbCompares > 0`. This is a minimal fix, because I don't want to change
the logic. These loops seem to be doing `nbCompares + 1` comparisons.
The bug was reported by Dan Carpenter and found by Smatch static
checker.

turns out, it's possible to constify MatchState* parameter
in some parts of the binary tree algorithm,
making it a pure read-only parameter,
as opposed to a mutable state.
This is supposed to be helpful for both maintenance and the compiler.
This PR fixes an incorrect comparison in figuring out `minChain` in
`ZSTD_dedicatedDictSearch_lazy_loadDictionary()`. This incorrect comparison
had been masked by the fact that `idx` was always 1, until @terrelln changed
that in #2726.

there is a fun little catch-22 with gcc: result from pmovmskb has to be cast to uint32_t to avoid a zero-extension
but must be uint16_t to get gcc to generate a rotate instruction..
* more casts
* fix casts
better work-around for the (bogus) warning: unary minus on unsigned
The repcode checks disallowed repcodes that are equal to `windowLow`.
This is slightly inefficient, but isn't a problem on its own. Together
with the next commit, it cause non-determinism.
