Summary:
Allocate a single input buffer large enough to house each job, as well as
enough space for the IO thread to write 2 extra buffers. One goes in the
`POOL` queue, and one to fill, and then block on a full `POOL` queue.
Since we can't overlap with the prefix, we allocate space for 3 extra
input buffers.
Test Plan:
* CI
* With and without ASAN/UBSAN run zstdmt with different number of threads
on two large binaries, and verify that their checksums match.
* Test on the tip of the zstdmt ldm integration.

The overflow protection is broken when the window log is `> (3U << 29)`, so 31.
It doesn't work when `current` isn't around `1U << windowLog` ahead of `lowLimit`,
and the the assertion `current > newCurrent` fails. This happens when the same
context is used many times over, but with a large window log, like in zstdmt.
Fix it by triggering correction based on `nextSrc - base` instead of `lowLimit`.
The added test fails before the patch, and passes after.
access negative compression levels from command line
for both compression and benchmark modes.
also : ensure proper propagation of parameters
through ZSTD_compress_generic() interface.
added relevant cli tests.
negative compression level trade compression ratio for more compression speed.
They turn off huffman compression of literals,
and use row 0 as baseline with a stepSize = -cLevel.
added associated test in fuzzer
also added : new advanced parameter ZSTD_p_literalCompression
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.
When ZSTD_e_end directive is provided,
the question is not only "are internal buffers completely flushed",
it is also "is current frame completed".
In some rare cases,
it was possible for internal buffers to be completely flushed,
triggering a @return == 0,
but frame was not completed as it needed a last null-size block to mark the end,
resulting in an unfinished frame.
added some test
also updated relevant doc
+ fixed a mistake in `lz4` symlink support :
lz4 utility doesn't remove source files by default (like zstd, but unlike gzip).
The symlink must behave the same.
ZSTD_create?Dict() is required to produce a ?Dict* return type
because `free()` does not accept a `const type*` argument.
If it wasn't for this restriction, I would have preferred to create a `const ?Dict*` object
to emphasize the fact that, once created, a dictionary never changes
(hence can be shared concurrently until the end of its lifetime).
There is no such limitation with initStatic?Dict() :
as stated in the doc, there is no corresponding free() function,
since `workspace` is provided, hence allocated, externally,
it can only be free() externally.
Which means, ZSTD_initStatic?Dict() can return a `const ZSTD_?Dict*` pointer.
Tested with `make all`, to catch initStatic's users,
which, incidentally, also updated zstd.h documentation.
it still fallbacks to single-thread blocking invocation
when input is small (<1job)
or when invoking ZSTDMT_compress(), which is blocking.
Also : fixed a bug in new block-granular compression routine.
