Add a faster but less dense compression mode. The new mode can be used by setting the greedy_block_split field of BrotliParams to true. This commit moves all the meta-block processing code into its own library and moves the meta-block encoding code to brotli_bit_stream.cc from encode.cc
Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.
The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli
