In all cases, the nb of threads is capped to `ZSTDMT_NBWORKERS_MAX`,

This modifier does nothing if `zstd` is compiled without multithread support.
Note that memory usage increases with each thread.

Use a single thread for both I/O and compression.
As compression is serialized with I/O, this can be slightly slower.

This increases the window size (`windowLog`) and memory usage for both the
compressor and decompressor.
