/*! ZDICT_trainFromBuffer() :
Train a dictionary from an array of samples.
Samples must be stored concatenated in a single flat buffer `samplesBuffer`,
supplied with an array of sizes `samplesSizes`, providing the size of each sample, in order.
The resulting dictionary will be saved into `dictBuffer`.
@return : size of dictionary stored into `dictBuffer` (<= `dictBufferCapacity`)
or an error code, which can be tested with ZDICT_isError().
Tips : In general, a reasonable dictionary has a size of ~ 100 KB.
It's obviously possible to target smaller or larger ones, just by specifying different `dictBufferCapacity`.
In general, it's recommended to provide a few thousands samples, but this can vary a lot.
It's recommended that total size of all samples be about ~x100 times the target size of dictionary.
