constants that *may* change in the future
will be accessed through functions instead
(to be created).
_simpleArgs() variant do not have (yet) a clear enough added value
to deserve "stable" status.
- Factor out LDM's hash function for reuse
- Add rsyncable mode to zstdmt and expose it via the advanced API
- Fix `-B`/`--block-size` to actually set the job size
- Add rsyncable tests to `zstreamtest` and `playTests.sh`
Tested by:
```
> cat A.100MB B.100MB C.100MB D.100MB E.100MB | zstd --rsyncable -fo src/file.zst
/*stdin*\ : 48.22% (524288000 => 252837782 bytes, src/file.zst)
> rsync -rc --stats src devbigvm:/data/users/terrelln/rsync-test
Total bytes sent: 252868779
total size is 252837782 speedup is 1.00

Close#1155.
which now accepts an enum,
to distinguish between resetting the session, or the parameters (or both).
removed ZSTD_CCtx_resetParameters(), which is redundant.
start replacing invocation of ZSTD_CCtx_reset*() functions
Updated advanced API documentation
trimmed down amount of API staged in RC,
in particular, all functions related to ZSTD_CCtxParams()
seem too advanced.
answering #1407.
Also : removed obsolete function ZSTD_setDStreamParameter()
which could only be used with one parameter (DStream_p_maxWindowSize).
Now replaced by ZSTD_DCtx_setWindowSize() (which exists since a few revisions)
by triggering the prefetching decoder path
(which used to be dedicated to long-range offsets only).
Figures on my laptop :
no content prefetch : ~300 MB/s (for reference)
full content prefetch : ~325 MB/s (before this patch)
new prefetch path : ~375 MB/s (after this patch)
The benchmark speed is already significant,
but another side-effect is that this version
prefetch less data into memory,
since it only prefetches what's needed, instead of the full dictionary.
This is supposed to help highly active environments
such as active databases,
that can't be properly measured in benchmark environment (too clean).
Also :
fixed the largeNbDict test program
which was working improperly when setting nbBlocks > nbFiles.
