It makes it more difficult to directly cast the result of a function,
requiring to store the result in an intermediate variable.
It does not necessarily help readability,
and this restriction can be difficult to overcome in some constructions,
like some macros.
also : fixed minor Visual conversion warnings in datagencli.c

added dev branch Appveyor badge
keep dev branch status only
creates a binary archive without the `programs` directory
...
It inflates binary sizes, which is negative for the Windows build.
It also makes it impossible to check if 2 different source codes
get nonetheless compiled to the same binary,
since checksum will be different, due to integrated source code.
It now only uses compressionParameters as argument.
It produces many changes throughout user code,
though hopefully they tend to be simple :
just provide the cParams part from existing ZSTD_parameters.
Some programs might depend on ZSTD_createCDict_advanced() to pass frame parameters.
This change will force them to revisit this strategy and fix it,
since frame parameters are effectively silently ignored in current version.
makes it more explicit that it allocates a buffer
and that it's meant to be used for dictionary.
Also : simplified function a bit,
now only works for dictionaries up to DICTSIZE_MAX
