5b80ef0fd1 Change the specification to be less strict in some cases.
In the following three cases we allow more choices
for the compressor, which can potentially lead to
less compressed bits.

  (1) Allow brotli streams where the block counts
      do not count down to exactly zero at the end
      of the meta-block. This makes it possible
      for compressors to sometimes choose a block
      count which can be represented with less bits
      than the exact block count.

  (2) Remove the restriction that prefix code
      descriptions with exactly one non-zero
      length symbol in the code length alphabet
      must have 1 bit depth. This is because
      bit depth 1 requires the most bits to encode.

  (3) Allow any copy length value in the last
      command where the copy part is ignored.
      This makes it possible for a compressor
      to choose a copy length which can be
      represented with the least amount of bits.

In addition to the changes above, this commit also
has a wording clarification in the overview section
where the use of the 'context ID' expression is
changed to be consistent with the rest of the
specification, i.e. that it is a function of the
last two literals or the copy length.

All sentence spacing was changed to one space, except
in the boilerplate which must be preserved verbatim.

Proof-of-concept encoder for parallel compression.

1428d54178 Proof-of-concept encoder for parallel compression.
Add a version of the brotli encoder that compresses
each meta-block independently, only using the
original input data from previous meta-blocks
and nothing from the compressor state.
This is a proof-of-concept to show that the
current format is flexible enough to support
parallel multi-threaded compression.

817a3edd52 Add an input block size parameter to brotli.
This will enable processing the input in smaller
chunks than the currently default 2MB for the
slow brotli, while still benefiting from the
larger sliding window.
