Mark that `huf_decompress_amd64.S` supports BTI and PAC, which it trivially does because it is empty for aarch64.
The issue only requested BTI markings, but it also makes sense to mark PAC, which is the only other feature.
Also run add a test for this mode to the ARM64 QEMU test. Before this PR it warns on `huf_decompress_amd64.S`, after it doesn't.
Fixes Issue #3841.
in this new method, when an `offset==0` is detected,
it's converted into (size_t)(-1), instead of 1.
The logic is that (size_t)(-1) is effectively an extremely large positive number,
which will not pass the offset distance test at next stage (`execSequence()`).
Checked the source code, and offset is always checked (as it should),
using a formula which is not vulnerable to arithmetic overflow:
```
RETURN_ERROR_IF(sequence.offset > (size_t)(oLitEnd - virtualStart),
```
The benefit is that such a case (offset==0) is always detected as corrupted data
as opposed to relying on the checksum to detect the error.
and only defines a sub-block boundary when
it believes that it is compressible.
It's effectively an optimization,
avoiding a compression cycle to reach the same conclusion.
note that the size of individual compressed blocks will vary more wildly with this modification.
But it seems good enough for a first test, and fix the speed regression issue.
Further refinements can be attempted later.
While it's not always strictly a win,
it's a win for files that see a noticeably compression ratio increase,
while it's a very small noise for other files.
Downside is, this patch is less efficient for 32-bit arrays of integer
than the previous patch which was introducing losses for other files,
but it's still a net improvement on this scenario.
helps when litlen==1 is cheaper than litlen==0
works great on pathological arr[u32] examples
but doesn't generalize well on other files.
silesia/x-ray is amoung the most negatively affected ones.
this works great for 32-bit arrays,
notably the synthetic ones, with extreme regularity,
unfortunately, it's not universal,
and in some cases, it's a loss.
Crucially, on average, it's a loss on silesia.
The most negatively impacted file is x-ray.
It deserves an investigation before suggesting it as an evolution.
