f50c647977 add deflate compression, simplify decompression
Implements deflate compression from scratch. A history window is kept in
the writer's buffer for matching and a chained hash table is used to
find matches. Tokens are accumulated until a threshold is reached and
then outputted as a block. Flush is used to indicate end of stream.

Additionally, two other deflate writers are provided:
* `Raw` writes only in store blocks (the uncompressed bytes). It
  utilizes data vectors to efficiently send block headers and data.
* `Huffman` only performs Huffman compression on data and no matching.

The above are also able to take advantage of writer semantics since they
do not need to keep a history.

Literal and distance code parameters in `token` have also been reworked.
Their parameters are now derived mathematically, however the more
expensive ones are still obtained through a lookup table (expect on
ReleaseSmall).

Decompression bit reading has been greatly simplified, taking advantage
of the ability to peek on the underlying reader. Additionally, a few
bugs with limit handling have been fixed.
