in the hope to improve the state of the Binary Tree,
and therefore find more and better matches
leading to better compression ratio.

But actually, I currently measure a worse compression ratio ...

Add noexecstack flag for gcc/clang C and CPP in Meson

fix speed of --patch-from mode at high compression levels

This reverts commit 821fc567.

--patch-from no longer blocked on first job dictionary loading

thus saving a bit of memory and a little bit of cpu time

by avoiding to duplicate in memory
a dictionary that was passed by reference.

improves compression ratio at low levels

visual studio compilation tests: error out on warnings

which do not support `%zu` fields

this is a prototype definition error:
`_mm_storeu_si128()` should accept a `void*` pointer,
since it explicitly states that it accepts unaligned addresses
yet requiring a `__m128i*` tells otherwise, and requires the compiler the enforce this alignment.

seems like a prototype interface error:
input parameter should have been `const void*`,
since the documentation is explicit that input doesn't have to be aligned,
but `const __m256i*` makes the compiler enforce it.

Fix Visual + ClangCL + AVX2 compilation

when clang is used within msvc, `__GNUC__` isn't defined,
so testing `__clang__` explicitly is required.

so that it doesn't depend on #include

The `-Wl,-z,noexecstack` and `-Wa,--noexecstack` flags are already set for CMake, but not for Meson.
This brings the flags to the Meson build as well. Note that this maintains the discrepancy in behavior
between CMake and Meson when it comes to enabling ASM: on CMake, the ZSTD_HAS_NOEXECSTACK variable
is set and these flags added for GCC/Clang and MinGW. Then later, the ZSTD_HAS_NOEXECSTACK variable
is checked (along with some other conditions) to enable or disable ASM. However on Meson, this logic
is restricted to simply checking for GCC/Clang. This patch maintains this behavior; noexecstack is
dependent on GCC/Clang only.

Check `STATIC_BMI2` instead of `STATIC_BMI2 == 1`

cmake: Remove duplicated line

bench: better result alignment

when displaying ratios > x100

Move STATIC_BMI2 define to portability_macros.h

fix: quote include directory for resource compiler

[linux] Expose ZSTD_compressSequences*() in the kernel

Make the function ZSTD_compressSequencesAndLiterals() available in kernel
space. This will be used by Intel QAT driver.

Additionally, (1) expose the function ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter(), which is
required to set parameters before calling ZSTD_compressSequencesAndLiterals(),
(2) update the build process to include `compress/zstd_preSplit.o` and
(3) replace `asm/unaligned.h` with `linux/unaligned.h`.
