Brotli compression format
65f3fc55f5
* Fix an out-of-bounds access to depth_histo in the
bit cost calculation function.
* Change type of distance symbol to uint16_t in block
splitter, because if all postfix bits are used, there
can be 520 distance symbols.
* Save the distance cache between meta-blocks at the
correct place. This fixes a roundtrip failure that
can occur when there is an uncompressed metablock
between two compressed metablocks.
* Fix a bug when setting lgwin to 24 in the encoder parameters
It ended up making metablocks larger than 24 bits in size.
* Fix out-of-bounds memory accesses in parallel encoder.
CreateBackwardReferences can read up to 4 bytes past end of
input if the end of input is before mask.
* Add missing header for memcpy() in port.h

brotli
Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.
The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli
