Zoltan Szabadka b3d3723f62 Add "zopfli"-style backward reference search to brotli.
This commit adopts the backward reference search algorithm
from the zopfli project (see https://github.com/google/zopfli)
to brotli.

This slower backward reference search is run only in quality 11
and it runs two iterations of entropy cost modeling and
shortest path search.

As a result, the original backward reference search function can
be simplified a bit, since we can remove some heuristics that were
replaced with the zopfli-style search.

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
