changed API comments to invite using macro ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN

Browse Source 
to mean "pledgedSrcSize is not known at init time" instead of `0`.
Note that, a few prototypes created and documented with `0` to mean "unknown" still interpret "0" as unknown,
to avoid breaking 3rd party applications which depend on this behavior.
But this value is no longer recommended to mean "unknown".

In some future version, it might be possible to switch "0" to mean "empty",
as is already the case for several prototypes.
The advantage is that pledgedSrcSize field would have same behavior accross entire API,
making it easier to reason about.

Note that all concerned prototypes belong to the "experimental" API section.

srcSize is controlled at end of compression,
so if someone uses "0" to mean "unknown" while it effectively means "empty",
this is immediately caught by the compression function, which generates an error code : ZSTD_ERROR_srcSize_wrong

This is typically useful to skip dictionary loading stage, since it will re-use it in-place..

pledgedSrcSize==0 means "srcSize unknown".
If pledgedSrcSize is not known at reset time, use macro ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN.
If pledgedSrcSize > 0, its value must be correct, as it will be written in header, and controlled at the end.
