update levels.sh test
comparing level 19 to level 22 and expecting a stricter better result from level 22
is not that guaranteed,
because level 19 and 22 are very close to each other,
especially for small files,
so any noise in the final compression result
result in failing this test.
Level 22 could be compared to something much lower, like level 15,
But level 19 is required anyway, because there is a clamping test which depends on it.

improve compression ratio of small alphabets
fix #3328
In situations where the alphabet size is very small,
the evaluation of literal costs from the Optimal Parser is initially incorrect.
It takes some time to converge, during which compression is less efficient.
This is especially important for small files,
because there will not be enough data to converge,
so most of the parsing is selected based on incorrect metrics.
After this patch, the scenario ##3328 gets fixed,
delivering the expected 29 bytes compressed size (smallest known compressed size).

spec update : require minimum nb of literals for 4-streams mode
Reported by @shulib :
the specification for 4-streams mode
doesn't work when the amount of literals to compress is 5 bytes.
Extending it, it also doesn't work for sizes 1 or 2.
This patch updates the specification and the implementation
to require a minimum of 6 literals to trigger or accept the 4-streams mode.
The impact is expected to be a no-op :
the 4-streams mode is never triggered for such small quantity of literals anyway,
since it would be wasteful (it costs ~7.3 bytes more than single-stream mode).
An informal lower limit is set at ~256 bytes,
so the technical minimum is very far from this limit.
This is just meant for completeness of the specification.

We should maybe consider adding a helper function for applying

That would aid the transition to the new API in situations like this.

Fix race condition in the Windows thread / pthread translation layer
When spawning a Windows thread we have small worker wrapper function that translates
between the interfaces of Windows and POSIX threads.
This wrapper is given a pointer that might get stale before the worker starts running,
resulting in UB and crashes.
This commit adds synchronization so that we know the wrapper has finished reading the data
it needs before we allow the main thread to resume execution.

Fixes two bugs in the Windows thread / pthread translation layer
1. If threads are resized the threads' `ZSTD_pthread_t` might move
while the worker still holds a pointer into it (see more details in #3120).
2. The join operation was waiting for a thread and then return its `thread.arg`
as a return value, but since the `ZSTD_pthread_t thread` was passed by value it
would have a stale `arg` that wouldn't match the thread's actual return value.
This fix changes the `ZSTD_pthread_join` API and removes support for returning
a value. This means that we are diverging from the `pthread_join` API and this
is no longer just an alias.
In the future, if needed, we could return a Windows thread's return value using
`GetExitCodeThread`, but as this path wouldn't be excised in any case, it's
preferable to not add it right now.

meson: don't require valgrind tests
It's entirely possible some people don't have valgrind installed, but
still want to run the tests. If they don't have it installed, then they
probably don't intend to run those precise test targets anyway.
Also, this solves an error when running the tests in an automated
environment. The valgrind tests have a hard dependency on behavior such
as `./zstd` erroring out with the message "stdin is a console, aborting"
which does not work if the automated environment doesn't have a console.
As a rough heuristic, automated environments lacking a console will
*probably* also not have valgrind, so avoiding that test definition
neatly sidesteps the issue.
Also, valgrind is not easily installable on macOS, at least homebrew
says it isn't available there. This makes it needlessly hard to
enable the testsuite on macOS.

meson: fix warning for using too-new features
In commit 031de3c69ccbf3282ed02fb49369b476730aeca8 a feature of Meson
0.50.0 was added, but the minimum specified version of Meson is 0.48.0.
Meson therefore emitted a warning:
WARNING: Project targets '>=0.48.0' but uses feature introduced in '0.50.0': required arg in compiler.has_header.
And if anyone actually used Meson 0.48.0 to build with, it would error
out with mysterious claims that the build file itself is invalid, rather
than telling the user to install a newer version of Meson.
Solve this by bumping the minimum version to align with reality. This
e.g. drops support for Debian oldstable (buster)'s packaged version of
Meson, but still works if backports are enabled, or if the user can
`pip install` a newer version.
