while reviewing #1364,
I found a decompression speed improvement.
On my laptop, the new code decompresses +5-6% faster on clang
and +2-3% faster on gcc.
not bad for an accidental optimization...
We could undersize the literals buffer by up to 11 bytes,
due to a combination of 2 bugs:
* The literals buffer didn't have `WILDCOPY_OVERLENGTH` extra
space, like it is supposed to.
* We didn't check the literals buffer size in `ZSTD_sufficientBuff()`.
It's not necessary to ensure that no job is ongoing.
The pool is only expanded, existing threads are preserved.
In case of error, the only option is to return NULL and terminate the thread pool anyway.
There were 2 competing set of debug functions
within zstd_internal.h and bitstream.h.
They were mostly duplicate, and required care to avoid messing with each other.
There is now a single implementation, shared by both.
Significant change :
The macro variable ZSTD_DEBUG does no longer exist,
it has been replaced by DEBUGLEVEL,
which required modifying several source files.
removed "cached" structure.
prices are now saved in the optimal table.
Primarily done for simplification.
Might improve speed by a little.
But actually, and surprisingly, also improves ratio in some circumstances.
ensure that, when frequency[symbol]==0,
result is (tableLog + 1) bits
with both upper-bit and fractional-bit estimates.
Also : enable BIT_DEBUG in /tests
This edge case is only possible with the new optimal encoding selector,
since before zstd would always choose `set_basic` for small numbers of
sequences.
Fix `FSE_readNCount()` to support buffers < 4 bytes.

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()`.
