this patch makes btultra do 2 passes on the first block,
the first one being dedicated to collecting statistics
so that the 2nd pass is more accurate.
It translates into a very small compression ratio gain :
enwik7, level 20:
blocks 4K : 2.142 -> 2.153
blocks 16K : 2.447 -> 2.457
blocks 64K : 2.716 -> 2.726
On the other hand, the cpu cost is doubled.
The trade off looks bad.
Though, that's ultimately a price to pay to reach better compression ratio.
So it's only enabled when setting btultra.
this improves compression ratio by a *tiny* amount.
It also reduces speed by a small amount.
Consequently, bit-fractional evaluation is only turned on for btultra.
ZSTD_decompress() can decompress multiple frames sent as a single input.
But the input size must be the exact sum of all compressed frames, no more.
In the case of a mistake on srcSize, being larger than required,
ZSTD_decompress() will try to decompress a new frame after current one, and fail.
As a consequence, it will issue an error code, ERROR(prefix_unknown).
While the error is technically correct
(the decoder could not recognise the header of _next_ frame),
it's confusing, as users will believe that the first header of the first frame is wrong,
which is not the case (it's correct).
It makes it more difficult to understand that the error is in the source size, which is too large.
This patch changes the error code provided in such a scenario.
If (at least) a first frame was successfully decoded,
and then following bytes are garbage values,
the decoder assumes the provided input size is wrong (too large),
and issue the error code ERROR(srcSize_wrong).
for FSE symbols.
While it seems to work, the gains are negligible compared to rough maxNbBits evaluation.
There are even a few losses sometimes, that still need to be explained.
Furthermode, there are still cases where btlazy2 does a better job than btopt,
which seems rather strange too.
for proper estimation of symbol's weights
when using dictionary compression.
Note : using only huffman costs is not good enough,
presumably because sequence symbol costs are incorrect.
Make sure that $(INCLUDEDIR) exists before copying the headers there.
Otherwise, the contest of header files is copied over
$(DESTDIR)$(INCLUDEDIR), making it a regular file.
While at it, remove $(DESTDIR)$(INCLUDEDIR) from the list of directories
to create in the install-pc target. The install-pc target does not need
this directory.

It's actually a bug in ZSTD_compressBegin_usingCDict()
which would pass a wrong pledgedSrcSize value (0 instead of ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN)
resulting in wrong window size, resulting in downsized seqStore,
resulting in segfault when writing into the seqStore later in the process.
Added a test in fuzzer to cover this use case (fails before the patch).
The new advanced API basically set `requestedParams = appliedParams` when
using a dictionary. This halted all parameter adjustment, which can hurt
compression ratio if, for example, the window log is small for the first
call, but the rest of the files are large.
This patch fixes the bug, and checks that the `requestedParams` don't change
in the new advanced API when using a dictionary, and generally in the fuzzer.
