- Add ZSTD_findDecompressedSize
- Traverses multiple frames to find total output size
- Add ZSTD_getFrameContentSize
- Gets the decompressed size of a single frame by reading header
- Deprecate ZSTD_getDecompressedSize
the minimum size condition size is applied transparently (no warning, no error)
like previous minimum section size condition (1 KB) which still applies.
Previous version was requiring a fairly large initial amount of input data
before starting to create compression jobs.
This new version starts the process much sooner.

improved ZSTD_compressBlock_opt_extDict_generic
In some extraordinary circumstances,
*Length field can be generated from reading a partially uninitialized memory segment.
Data is correctly identified as corrupted later on,
but the read taints some later pointer arithmetic operation.
fileio.c was continually pushing more content without giving a chance to flush compressed one.
It would block the job queue when input data was accumulated too fast (requiring to define many threads).
Fixed : fileio flushes whatever it can after each input attempt.
Sections 2+ read a bit of data from previous section
in order to improve compression ratio.
This also costs some CPU, to reference read data.
Read data is currently fixed to window>>3 size
By default, section sizes are 4x window size.
This new setting allow manual selection of section sizes.
The larger they are, the (slightly) better the compression ratio,
but also the higher the memory allocation cost,
and eventually the lesser the nb of possible threads,
since each section is compressed by a single thread.
It also introduces a prototype to set generic parameters,
ZSTDMT_setMTCtxParameter()
The idea is that it's possible to add enums
to extend the list of parameters that can be set this way.
This is more long-term oriented than a fixed-size struct.
Consider it as a test.
