    Add "zopfli"-style backward reference search to brotli.
    
    This commit adopts the backward reference search algorithm
    from the zopfli project (see https://github.com/google/zopfli)
    to brotli.
    
    This slower backward reference search is run only in quality 11
    and it runs two iterations of entropy cost modeling and
    shortest path search.
    
    As a result, the original backward reference search function can
    be simplified a bit, since we can remove some heuristics that were
    replaced with the zopfli-style search.

    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
