To the best of my knowledge:
* `_WIN32` and `_WIN64` are defined by the compiler,
* `WIN32` and `WIN64` are defined by the user, to indicate whatever
the user chooses them to indicate. They mean 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
compilation by convention only.
See:
https://accu.org/journals/overload/24/132/wilson_2223/
Windows compilers in general, and MSVC in particular, have been defining
`_WIN32` and `_WIN64` for a long time, provably at least since Visual Studio
2015, and in practice as early as in the days of 16-bit Windows.
See:

Tests used to be inconsistent, sometimes testing `_WIN32`, sometimes
`_WIN32` and `WIN32`. This brings consistency to Windows detection.
As reported by @P-E-Meunier in https://github.com/facebook/zstd/issues/2662#issuecomment-1443836186,
seekable format ingestion speed can be particularly slow
when selected `FRAME_SIZE` is very small,
especially in combination with the recent row_hash compression mode.
The specific scenario mentioned was `pijul`,
using frame sizes of 256 bytes and level 10.
This is improved in this PR,
by providing approximate parameter adaptation to the compression process.
Tested locally on a M1 laptop,
ingestion of `enwik8` using `pijul` parameters
went from 35sec. (before this PR) to 2.5sec (with this PR).
For the specific corner case of a file full of zeroes,
this is even more pronounced, going from 45sec. to 0.5sec.
These benefits are unrelated to (and come on top of) other improvement efforts currently being made by @yoniko for the row_hash compression method specifically.
The `seekable_compress` test program has been updated to allows setting compression level,
in order to produce these performance results.
