modify cli-test logic : ignore stderr message by default
Previously, cli-test would, by default, check that a stderr output is strictly identical to a saved outcome.
When there was no instructions on how to interpret stderr, it would default to requiring it to be empty.
There are many tests cases though where stderr content doesn't matter, and we are mainly interested in the return code of the cli.
For these cases, it was possible to set a .ignore document, which would instruct to ignore stderr content.
This PR update the logic, to make .ignore the default.
When willing to check that stderr content is empty, one must now add an empty .strict file.
This will allow status message to evolve without triggering many cli-tests errors.
This is especially important when some of these status include compression results, which may change as a result of compression optimizations.
It also makes it easier to add new tests which only care about the CLI's return code.

[Bugfix] CLI row hash flags set the wrong values
`--[no-]row-match-finder` do the opposite of what they are supposed to.
In effect the no option would activate row hash while the other option will disable it.
This commit fixes the issue and changes the code to use the more readable enum values.

[version-test] Work around bugs in v0.7.3 dict builder
Before calling a dictionary good, make sure that it can compress an

dictionary. This is not the job of the verison test to test it, because
we cannot fix this code.

[huf] Add generic C versions of the fast decoding loops
Add generic C versions of the fast decoding loops to serve architectures
that don't have an assembly implementation. Also allow selecting the C
decoding loop over the assembly decoding loop through a zstd
decompression parameter `ZSTD_d_disableHuffmanAssembly`.
I benchmarked on my Intel i9-9900K and my Macbook Air with an M1 processor.
The benchmark command forces zstd to compress without any matches, using
only literals compression, and measures only Huffman decompression speed:
The new fast decoding loops outperform the previous implementation uniformly,
but don't beat the x86-64 assembly. Additionally, the fast C decoding loops suffer
from the same stability problems that we've seen in the past, where the assembly
version doesn't. So even though clang gets close to assembly on x86-64, it still
has stability issues.
Fix the following documentation bugs:
* Note that `ZSTD_estimate*` functions are not compatible with the external matchfinder API
* Note that `ZSTD_estimateCStreamSize_usingCCtxParams()` is not compatible with `nbWorkers >= 1`
* Remove incorrect warning that the legacy streaming API is incompatible with advanced parameters and/or dictionary compression
* Note that `ZSTD_initCStream()` is incompatible with dictionary compression
* Warn that

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

[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.

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

* 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

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.

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).
