Estimate the cost for using FSE modes `set_basic`, `set_compressed`, and
`set_repeat`, and select the one with the lowest cost.
* The cost of `set_basic` is computed using the cross-entropy cost
function `ZSTD_crossEntropyCost()`, using the normalized default count
and the count.
* The cost of `set_repeat` is computed using `FSE_bitCost()`. We check the
previous table to see if it is able to represent the distribution.
* The cost of `set_compressed` is computed with the entropy cost function
`ZSTD_entropyCost()`, together with the cost of writing the normalized
count `ZSTD_NCountCost()`.
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.

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.
Zstdmt uses prefixes to load the overlap between segments. Loading extra
positions makes compression non-deterministic, depending on the previous
job the context was used for. Since loading extra position takes extra
time as well, only do it when creating a `ZSTD_CDict`.
Fixes#1077.
The `avgJobSize` must not be lower than 256 KB for single-pass mode.
In `zstd.h` we say the minimum value for `ZSTD_p_jobSize` is 1 MB,
so ensure that we always pick a size >= 1 MB.
Found by libFuzzer fuzzer tests with large input limits.
this makes it possible to specify extremely large negative compression levels,
achieving the side effect as "no compression".
It will also be possible to define larger targetlength for ultra compression mode.
There is no adverse side effect due to removing this limit.
Integrate ldm into zstdmt by running it in serial and in order in the first
step of each job, in the same place as the hash gets updated. The input
buffer is sized to fit the whole LDM window and 2 full buffers of slack.
Input buffers cannot be reused until the LDM step is done with them.
After the LDM step is finished, the jobs don't actually have access to the
full window, only the overlap.
Tested on a few different multi-GB files with and without sanitizers,
and with different numbers of threads.
