When the match is very long and found quickly, we can do
matchLength * nbCompares iterations through the chain
swapping, which can really slow down compression.
It is important to continue to look backwards if the current pattern
reaches `lowPrefixPtr`. If the pattern detection doesn't go all the
way to the beginning of the pattern, or the end of the pattern it
slows down the search instead of speeding it up.
The slow unit in `round_trip_stream_fuzzer` used to take 12 seconds
to run with -O3, now it takes 0.2 seconds.

This diff fixes an issue in which we failed to clear the `dictCtx` in HC
compression. The `dictCtx` is not supposed to be used when an `extDict` is
present: matches found in the `dictCtx` do not account for the presence of an
`extDict` segment, and their offsets are therefore miscalculated when one is
present. This can lead to data corruption.
This diff clears the `dictCtx` whenever setting an `extDict`.
This issue was uncovered by @terrelln's fuzzing work.
* Run more decompression variants
* Round trip the compression fuzzer and do partial decompression as well
* Add a compression fuzzer that compresses into a smaller output buffer
and test the destSize variant
These fuzzers caught 2 bugs that were fixed in the previous commit.
* Input buffer over-read in partial decompress
* Partial decompress fails if output size is 0
It's now possible to select a custom LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX at compile time,
provided it's <= 65535.
However, in some cases (when compressing in byU16 mode),
the new distance wasn't respected,
as it used to implied that it was necessarily within range.
Added a distance check for this case.
Also : added a new TravisCI test which ensures that
custom LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX compiles correctly
and compresses correctly (relying on `assert()` to find outsized offsets).
Ideally, we want to make CircleCI a "fast" test environment, with short feedback loop (~5mn).
We are still far from this goal.
This patch starts this process by removing "long" tasks which are non-essential and redundant with travisCI.
It also acknowledges that parallelism is broken.
The script should be more heavily updated to support parallelism,
which might be important to support its goal.
