 * Different dst arguments can be used between each calls.
 *
 * The function result is an hint of the better srcSize to use for next call to LZ4F_decompress.
 * Basically, it's the size of the current (or remaining) compressed block + header of next block.
 * Respecting the hint provides some boost to performance, since it allows less buffer shuffling.
