gcc-8 on Linux doesn't like usage of strncat :
`warning: ‘strncat’ output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length`.
Not sure what was wrong, it might be a false positive,
but the logic is simple enough to replaced by a simple `memcpy()`,
thus avoiding the shenanigans of null-terminated strings.
following #1356,
only enable backtrace compilation on linux+glibc.
Also, disable backtrace by default from "release" compilation,
so that less platforms get impacted by the new requirements.
Can be manually enabled/disabled using BACKTRACE=1/0.
note : for some reason,
scan-build version on my laptop found problems within fastcover.c
that scan-build on travisCI does not flag.
They are, as usual, false positive :
the analyzer does not understand that a table (`offset`) is correctly filled before usage.
from EXIT_IF() to RETURN_IF()
EXIT could be misunderstood as exit(), which terminates program execution.
But the macro only leaves the function, not the program.
For OSX and Linux, add a signal handler to SIGABRT, SGIFPE, SIGILL,
SIGSEGV, and SIGBUS. When the program terminates unexpectedly the
handler will print the current stack to the terminal to help determine
the location of the failure.
On OSX the output will look like:
```
Stack trace:
4 zstd 0x000000010927ed96 main + 16886
5 libdyld.dylib 0x00007fff767d1015 start + 1
6 ??? 0x0000000000000001 0x0 + 1
```
On Linux the output will look like:
```
Stack trace:
./zstd() [0x4b8e1b]
./zstd() [0x4b928a]
./zstd() [0x403dc2]
/lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f5e0fbb0445]
./zstd() [0x405754]
```
As is, the code does not function on WIN32.

Per warnings from flawfinder: "Does not check for buffer overflows when
copying to destination [MS-banned] (CWE-120). Consider using snprintf,
strcpy_s, or strlcpy (warning: strncpy easily misused).".
Replaced called to strcpy and strcat in `fileio.c` to calls with a
specified size (`strncpy` and `strncat`).
Tested the changes on OSX, Linux, Windows.
On OSX + Linux, changes were tested with ASAN. The following flags were
used: 'check_initialization_order=1:strict_init_order=1:detect_odr_violation=1:detect_stack_use_after_return=1'
To reproduce warning:
./flawfinder.py ./programs/fileio.c
tells in a non-blocking way if there is something ready to flush right now.
only works with multi-threading for the time being.
Useful to know if flush speed will be limited by lack of production.
In the new advanced API, adjust the parameters even if they are explicitly
set. This mainly applies to the `windowLog`, and accordingly the `hashLog`
and `chainLog`, when the source size is known.

added relevant cli tests.
Silence a Coverity warning about 'windowSize' being uninitialized.
(Yes, nothing that calls this routine actually uses the windowSize
value. Still, appeasing Coverity is pretty harmless in this case.)
This makes it easier to explain that nbWorkers=0 --> single-threaded mode,
while nbWorkers=1 --> asynchronous mode (one mode thread on top of the "main" caller thread).
No need for an additional asynchronous mode flag.
nbWorkers>=2 works the same as nbThreads>=2 previously.
Produces 3 statistics for ongoing frame compression :
- ingested
- consumed (effectively compressed)
- produced
Ingested can be larger than consumed due to buffering effect.
For the time being, this patch mostly fixes the % ratio issue,
since it computes consumed / produced,
instead of ingested / produced.
That being said, update is not "smooth",
because on a slow enough setting,
fileio spends most of its time waiting for a worker to complete its job.
This could be improved thanks to more granular flushing
i.e. start flushing before ongoing job is fully completed.
The compression % is no longer correct,
since it's no longer possible to make direct correlation
between nb bytes read and nb bytes written
due to large internal buffer inside CCtx
(exacerbated with --long).
The current "fix" is to no longer display the %.
A more complex solution will have to count exactly how much data has been consumed and compressed internally, within CCtx buffers.
when cli is compiled without MT support,
invoking ZSTD_p_nonBlockingMode result in an error code.
This patch only sets ZSTD_p_nonBlockingMode when ZSTD_MULTITHREAD is set, meaning there is MT support.
The error code could also be intentionnally ignored (there is no side effect).
This new parameter makes it possible to call
streaming ZSTDMT with a single thread set
which is non blocking.
It makes it possible for the main thread to do other tasks in parallel
while the worker thread does compression.
Typically, for zstd cli, it means it can do I/O stuff.
Applied within fileio.c, this patch provides non-negligible gains during compression.
Tested on my laptop, with enwik9 (1000000000 bytes) : time zstd -f enwik9
With traditional single-thread blocking mode :
real 0m9.557s
user 0m8.861s
sys 0m0.538s
With new single-worker non blocking mode :
real 0m7.938s
user 0m8.049s
sys 0m0.514s
=> 20% faster
This fixes the following crash:

Reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1530049
This patch restores capability for each file to receive adapted compression parameters depending on its size.
The bug breaking this feature was relatively silly :
setting a parameter with a value "0" is supposed to be a no-op.
Unfortunately, it would pin down compression parameters as if they were manually set,
preventing later automatic adaptation.
Unfortunately, I'm currently short of a test case that could check this situation and trigger an error.
Compression parameters selection between tableID 0,1,2,3 is largely internal,
leaving no trace to outside world, not even in frame header.
Fixes issue where, when `zstd --format=lz4` is fed an input larger than 128KB,
the read overruns the input buffer. This changes Zstd to use LZ4 with chained
64KB blocks. This is technically a breaking change in that some third party
LZ4 implementations may not support linked blocks. However, progress should not
be allowed to be stopped by such petty concerns as backwards compatibility!
we lose a warning message :
when a job size is chosen < minimum job size for multithreading,
it is automatically resized to minimum size.
If this information is really useful, it should be present in zstd.h now.
