build(cmake): improve pkg-config generation
With this patch the pkg-config generation when using the CMake build
system is improved in the following ways:
- Libs.private is now filled when needed
- The JoinPaths module is now used to join paths, leading to simpler
code
- The .pc file is always generated, regardless of the platform, as it
can also be consumed on Windows
Here's how the .pc file is affected by these changes, in comparison to
the one generated with the official Makefiles:

Add explicit --pass-through flag and default to enabled for *cat (#3223)
Fixes #3211.
Adds the `--[no-]pass-through` flag which enables/disables pass-through mode.
* `zstdcat`, `zcat`, and `gzcat` default to `--pass-through`.
Pass-through mode can be disabled by passing `--no-pass-through`.
* All other binaries default to not setting pass-through mode.
However, we preserve the legacy behavior of enabling pass-through
mode when writing to stdout with `-f` set, unless pass-through
mode is explicitly disabled with `--no-pass-through`.
Adds a new test for this behavior that should codify the behavior we want.

fileio_types.h : avoid dependency on mem.h
fileio_types.h cannot be parsed by itself
because it relies on basic types defined in `lib/common/mem.h`.
As for #3231, it likely wasn't detected because `mem.h` was probably included before within target files.
But this is not proper.
A "easy" solution would be to add the missing include,
but each dependency should be considered "bad" by default,
and only allowed if it brings some tangible value.
In this case, since these types are only used to declare internal structure variables
which are effectively only flags,
I believe it's really not valuable to add a dependency on `mem.h` for this purpose
while the standard `int` type can do the same job.
I was expecting some compiler warnings following this change,
but it turns out we don't use `-Wconversion` by default on `zstd` source code,
so there is none.
Nevertheless, I enabled `-Wconversion` locally and proceeded to fix a few conversion warnings in the process.
Adding `-Wconversion` to the list of flags used for `zstd` is something I would be favorable over the long term,
but it cannot be done overnight,
because the nb of places where this warning is triggered is daunting.
Better progressively reduce the nb of triggered `-Wconversion` warnings before enabling this flag by default.

This meant that, in the case that only a few bytes (<5) were provided,

The streaming API would simply request more data, waiting for at least 5 bytes.

[lazy] Optimize ZSTD_row_getMatchMask for level 8-10
We found that movemask is not used properly or consumes too much CPU.
This effort helps to optimize the movemask emulation on ARM.
For level 8-9 we saw 3-5% improvements. For level 10 we say 1.5%
improvement.
The key idea is not to use pure movemasks but to have groups of bits.
For rowEntries == 16, 32 we are going to have groups of size 4 and 2
respectively. It means that each bit will be duplicated within the group
Then we do AND to have only one bit set in the group so that iteration
with lowering bit `a &= (a - 1)` works as well.
Also, aarch64 does not have rotate instructions for 16 bit, only for 32
and 64, that's why we see more improvements for level 8-9.
vshrn_n_u16 instruction is used to achieve that: vshrn_n_u16 shifts by
4 every u16 and narrows to 8 lower bits. See the picture below. It's
also used in

It also uses 2 cycles according to Neoverse-N{1,2} guidelines.
64 bit movemask is already well optimized. We have ongoing experiments
but were not able to validate other implementations work reliably faster.
