Compression-Util-0.17

Changes for version 0.17 - 2026-08-11

ADDITIONS
- Added the `lzss_encode_hash4()` function.
- Added the `$LZ_MAX_CHAIN_WIDTH` package variable, for better controlling of LZ encoding inside `lzss_encode()` and `lzss_encode_symbolic()`.
IMPROVEMENTS
- Improved LZ encoding for certain inputs, by preferring earlier matches.
FIXES
- Fixed `bwt_sort_symbolic()`: it could hang indefinitely on cyclic patterns, such as "ABCABC".

Implementation of various techniques used in data compression.
