fix#3328
In situations where the alphabet size is very small,
the evaluation of literal costs from the Optimal Parser is initially incorrect.
It takes some time to converge, during which compression is less efficient.
This is especially important for small files,
because there will not be enough data to converge,
so most of the parsing is selected based on incorrect metrics.
After this patch, the scenario ##3328 gets fixed,
delivering the expected 29 bytes compressed size (smallest known compressed size).
Inspired by #3395,
offer a new capability to set all parameters defined in a ZSTD_compressionParameters structure
with a single symbol invocation
to improve user code brevity.
Reported by @shulib :
the specification for 4-streams mode
doesn't work when the amount of literals to compress is 5 bytes.
Extending it, it also doesn't work for sizes 1 or 2.
This patch updates the specification and the implementation
to require a minimum of 6 literals to trigger or accept the 4-streams mode.
The impact is expected to be a no-op :
the 4-streams mode is never triggered for such small quantity of literals anyway,
since it would be wasteful (it costs ~7.3 bytes more than single-stream mode).
An informal lower limit is set at ~256 bytes,
so the technical minimum is very far from this limit.
This is just meant for completeness of the specification.

for f in $(find . \( -path ./.git -o -path ./tests/fuzz/corpora \) -prune -o -type f);
do
sed -i 's/Facebook, Inc\./Meta Platforms, Inc. and affiliates./' $f;
done
```
fixed#3323, reported by @nigeltao
Completed documentation around this risk
(which is largely theoretical,
I can't see that happening in any "real world" scenario,
but an erroneous @srcSize value could indeed trigger it).
Fix an off-by-one error in the compressor that emits corrupt blocks if:
* Zstd is compiled in 32-bit mode
* The windowLog == 25 exactly
* An offset of 2^25-3, 2^25-2, 2^25-1, or 2^25 is emitted
* The bitstream had 7 bits leftover before writing the offset
This bug has been present since before v1.0, but wasn't able to easily
be triggered, since until somewhat recently zstd wasn't able to find
matches that were within 128KB of the window size.
Add a test case, and fix 2 bugs in `ZSTD_compressSequences()`:
* The `ZSTD_isRLE()` check was incorrect. It wouldn't produce
corruption, but it could waste CPU and not emit RLE even if the block
was RLE
* One windowSize was `1 << windowLog`, not `1u << windowLog`
Thanks to @tansy for finding the issue, and giving us a reproducer!
Fixes Issue #3350.
Use a switch statement to select the search function instead of an
indirect function call. This results in a sizable performance win.
This PR is a modification of the approach taken in PR #2828.
When I measured performance for that commit, it was neutral.
However, I now see a performance regression on gcc, but still
neutral on clang. I'm measuring on the same platform, but with
newer compilers. The new approach beats both the current dev
branch and the baseline before PR #2828 was merged.
This PR is necessary for Issue #3275, to update zstd in the kernel.
Without this PR there is a large regression in greedy - btlazy2
compression speed. With this PR it is about neutral.
