1447345cbb Brotli format change: improved encoding of Huffman codes
This change removes the redundant HCLEN, HLENINC and HLEN
fields from the encoding of the complex Huffman codes and
derives these from an invariant of the code length sequence.
Based on a patch by Robert Obryk.

60c24c0c2d Updates to Brotli compression format, decoder and encoder
This commit contains a batch of changes that were made to the Brotli
compression algorithm in the last month. Most important changes:

   * Updated spec
   * Changed Huffman code length alphabet to use run length codes more
     efficiently, based on a suggestion by Robert Obryk
   * Changed encoding of the number of Huffman code lengths (HLEN)
   * Changed encoding of the number of Huffman trees (NTREES)
   * Added support for uncompressed meta-blocks

c6b9c7c5c8 Updates to Brotli compression format, decoder and encoder
This commit contains a batch of changes that were made to the Brotli
compression algorithm in the last three weeks. Most important changes:

  * Added UTF8 context model for good text compression.
  * Simplified context modeling by having only 4 context modes.
  * Per-block context mode selection.
  * Faster backward copying and bit reading functions.
  * More efficient histogram coding.
  * Streaming support for the decoder and encoder.
