* add xz to std.compress
* prefer importing std.zig by file name, to reduce reliance on the
standard library being a special case.
* extract some types from inside generic functions. These types are the
same regardless of the generic parameters.
* expose some more types in the std.compress.xz namespace.
* rename xz.stream to xz.decompress
* rename check.Kind to Check
* use std.leb for LEB instead of a redundant implementation
From RFC 1952:
> If FHCRC is set, a CRC16 for the gzip header is present,
> immediately before the compressed data. The CRC16 consists
> of the two least significant bytes of the CRC32 for all
> bytes of the gzip header up to and not including the CRC16.
Replaces the inflate API from `inflateStream(reader: anytype, window_slice: []u8)` to
`decompressor(allocator: mem.Allocator, reader: anytype, dictionary: ?[]const u8)` and
`compressor(allocator: mem.Allocator, writer: anytype, options: CompressorOptions)`
We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
