Enzo Matsumiya 94ae8c3fee smb: client: compress: LZ77 code improvements cleanup
- Check data compressibility with some heuristics (copied from
  btrfs):
  - should_compress() final decision is is_compressible(data)

- Cleanup compress/lz77.h leaving only lz77_compress() exposed:
  - Move parts to compress/lz77.c, while removing the rest of it
    because they were either unused, used only once, were
    implemented wrong (thanks to David Howells for the help)

- Updated the compression parameters (still compatible with
  Windows implementation) trading off ~20% compression ratio
  for ~40% performance:
  - min match len: 3 -> 4
  - max distance: 8KiB -> 1KiB
  - hash table type: u32 * -> u64 *

Known bugs:
This implementation currently works fine in general, but breaks with
some payloads used during testing.  Investigation ongoing, to be
fixed in a next commit.
