Conrad Meyer 37f1f2684f Update to Zstandard 1.4.5

As usual, the full release notes are found on Github:

  https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases/tag/v1.4.5

Notable changes include:

* Improved decompress performance on amd64 and arm (5-10%
  and 15-50%, respectively).
* '--patch-from' zstd(1) CLI option, which provides something like a very fast
  version of bspatch(1) with slightly worse compression.  See release notes.

In this update, I dropped the 3-year old -O0 workaround for an LLVM ARM bug;
the bug was fixed in LLVM SVN in 2017, but we didn't remove this workaround
from our tree until now.

MFC after:	I won't, but feel free
Relnotes:	yes

Zstandard library : usage examples

Simple compression : Compress a single file. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_compress()
Simple decompression : Decompress a single file. Only compatible with simple compression. Result remains in memory. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_decompress()
Multiple simple compression : Compress multiple files (in simple mode) in a single command line. Demonstrates memory preservation technique that minimizes malloc()/free() calls by re-using existing resources. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_compressCCtx()
Streaming memory usage : Provides amount of memory used by streaming context. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_sizeof_CStream()
Streaming compression : Compress a single file. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_compressStream()
Multiple Streaming compression : Compress multiple files (in streaming mode) in a single command line. Introduces memory usage preservation technique, reducing impact of malloc()/free() and memset() by re-using existing resources.
Streaming decompression : Decompress a single file compressed by zstd. Compatible with both simple and streaming compression. Result is sent to stdout. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_decompressStream()
Dictionary compression : Compress multiple files using the same dictionary. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_createCDict() and ZSTD_compress_usingCDict()
Dictionary decompression : Decompress multiple files using the same dictionary. Result remains in memory. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_createDDict() and ZSTD_decompress_usingDDict()
