spec update : require minimum nb of literals for 4-streams mode
Reported by @shulib : the specification for 4-streams mode doesn't work when the amount of literals to compress is 5 bytes. Extending it, it also doesn't work for sizes 1 or 2. This patch updates the specification and the implementation to require a minimum of 6 literals to trigger or accept the 4-streams mode. The impact is expected to be a no-op : the 4-streams mode is never triggered for such small quantity of literals anyway, since it would be wasteful (it costs ~7.3 bytes more than single-stream mode). An informal lower limit is set at ~256 bytes, so the technical minimum is very far from this limit. This is just meant for completeness of the specification.
