refactor : --rm is ignored with stdout
`zstd` CLI has progressively moved to the policy of
ignoring `--rm` command when the output is `stdout`.
The primary drive is to feature a behavior more consistent with `gzip`,
when `--rm` is the default, but is also ignored when output is `stdout`.
Other policies are certainly possible, but would break from this `gzip` convention.
The new policy was inconsistenly enforced, depending on the exact list of commands.
For example, it was possible to circumvent it by using `-c --rm` in this order,
which would re-establish source removal.
- Update the CLI so that it necessarily catch these situations and ensure that `--rm` is always disabled when output is `stdout`.
- Added a warning message in this case (for verbosity 3 `-v`).
- Added an `assert()`, which controls that `--rm` is no longer active with `stdout`
- Added tests, which control the behavior, even when `--rm` is added after `-c`
- Removed some legacy code which where trying to apply a specific policy for the `stdout` + `--rm` case, which is no longer possible

Add Additional Flags to PGO Build
In GCC, we can add a couple more flags to give us confidence that the profile
data is actually being found and used.
Also, my system for example doesn't have a binary installed under the name
`llvm-profdata`, but it does have, e.g., `llvm-profdata-13`, etc. So this
commit adds a variable that can be overridden.

[versions-test] Work around bug in dictionary builder for older versions
Older versions of zstandard have a bug in the dictionary builder, that
can cause dictionary building to fail. The process still exits 0, but
the dictionary is not created.
For reference, the bug is that it creates a dictionary that starts with
the zstd dictionary magic, in the process of writing the dictionary header,
but the header isn't fully written yet, and zstd fails compressions in
this case, because the dictionary is malformated. We fixed this later on
by trying to load the dictionary as a zstd dictionary, but if that fails
we fallback to content only (by default).
The fix is to:
1. Make the dictionary determinsitic by sorting the input files.
Previously the bug would only sometimes occur, when the input files
were in a particular order.
2. If dictionary creation fails, fallback to the `head` dictionary.

[tests] Fix version test determinism
The dictionary source files were taken from the `dev` branch before this

the sources from the PR checkout.
This PR also adds stderr logging, and verbose output for the jobs that
are failing, to help catch the failure if it occurs again.

Add support for in-place decompression
* Add a function and macro ZSTD_decompressionMargin() that computes the
decompression margin for in-place decompression. The function computes
a tight margin that works in all cases, and the macro computes an upper
bound that will only work if flush isn't used.
* When doing in-place decompression, make sure that our output buffer
doesn't overlap with the input buffer. This ensures that we don't
decide to use the portion of the output buffer that overlaps the input
buffer for temporary memory, like for literals.
* Add a simple unit test.
* Add in-place decompression to the simple_round_trip and
stream_round_trip fuzzers. This should help verify that our margin stays
correct.

fix root cause of #3416
A minor change in 5434de0 changed a `<=` into a `<`,
and as an indirect consequence allowed compression attempt of literals when there are only 6 literals to compress
(previous limit was effectively 7 literals).
This is not in itself a problem, as the threshold is merely an heuristic,
but it emerged a bug that has always been there, and was just never triggered so far due to the previous limit.
This bug would make the literal compressor believes that all literals are the same symbol,
but for the exact case where nbLiterals==6, plus a pretty wild combination of other limit conditions,
this outcome could be false, resulting in data corruption.
Replaced the blind heuristic by an actual test for all limit cases,
so that even if the threshold is changed again in the future,
the detection of RLE mode will remain reliable.

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.
